Spokey dokes, great until you got up a bit of speed!
I also remember my first bike with gears had gripshift on, Everybody else had regular old shifters. I was like YEAHHHHHH I GOT A SWEEEET GEAR SYSTEM!
Now nobody bothers with it anymore
I still have a couple of old football sticker albums lying around somewhere, not actually finished so almost worthless really.
The original metal thunderbird 2, still in box.
....wait, wasn't this thread meant to be about bikes?
