Picked up a BMX the other day while collecting some parts , it's mostly complete apart from brakes and rear wheel is buckled beyond repair (got rolled over) , thought it would be handy to have thrown into the camper while away, know feck all about bmx's , I'll stick pick up later when I'm home if anyone thinks they can help out
 
just had a look at it there now, has 20" wheels, stickers are pulled off the frame but it reads 'Equator' , bit of looking up they seem to be a cheapy bike but shur it was thrown in with a deal for free

cool another bmx . i have been collecting bits to restore a few of my old skool bmx bikes that i have had since i was a kid .( hopeing to have one done to bring to limerick) also bought a new skool a few weeks ago.
 
Looks like a 48spoke rim with a 10mm axle,any bike shop will get you one, again you get a tyre an tube you could be up to €50 or 60 so you might want to look out for a cheap/chucked out bmx with a decent rear wheel an brake if you dont want to get in too deep moneywise!

I picked this up at European Bug In last year and have been restoring it, leaving it in OG paint and patina though as its a 'survivor'!

As I got it..

Not really Trev, some of the guys are in their 40's, they ae racing an beating their own 16 year old kids! Funny when they take off their helmets and you see an old guy with grey hair an glasses
 
I only heard there was a track up the road in Ratoath last month and I went out and bought a cheap bmx on adverts for €30.
made a couple of ramps in the back garden.I am going to get a propper bike soon and give the racing a go.
