I had a mongoose BMX once, lent it to a mate and never saw it again....

Quoting: Andy

Only rear brakes... hmm

I have fitted a front as I use to to take my lad to school on so it is safer.....

Mongoose are some of the best off the shelf BMX bikes from what I understand.

My Raleigh Night Burner was fecking awesome though!
I remember my dad allowing me to wipe out my meagre savings account to buy it (£115 back in 1984 iirc)

ahh Andy, you'd LOVE it, the Stondon motor museum (well worth a visit, and not too far from you) has a Raleigh Vector in there!!!

A friend of mine had a Vector.
I *really* wanted one but they were really expensive.

Did the plastic do anything on those?

The control panel contained a horn that could make different noises iirc, plus it had an FM radio, can't remember what else...

I think there was some sort of trip computer, too.

they were mega expensive, and seeing one now as an adult, they seem so much smaller too!!
