Yes and its also the bike i wanted when i was little but had to settle for a knight burner as it was cheaper

I rode a BMX a while back but had some pain in my thighs afterwards.....i guess im too
tall at six feet...i think a lean back seat bar would help though.

Finally got on with finishing the bike, just got to give it a polish and put the side stand back on. Chuffed with the result.

Cheers Andy

Wow mate, that looks the biz. I've got some goodies coming for my Mag Burner this week. I've got a set of brand new decals and a new pad set for the frame (exact copy of origional design). Pics to follow!

Thanks mate, my biggest problem was finding decals for it. Finally found a company who mainly make waterslide transfers for guitars who were willing to make me some. I've got a totally original 1983 Mongoose Expert on it's way for the next project.

Cheers Andy

I'm after a White, 1983 Pirahna BMX as a Resto project. I can't even find a photo of one on the net, never mind an actual bike!

Cheers mate. I dred to think how much money I've spent on it! I've just got the replacement boxfresh burner, the decals are a bit better but not brilliant. I'm getting some made this week and I'm replacing the dodgy ones on the bike. Should be perfect then.
