Had to deal with cheaper bikes for years. Nonetheless i was the wheelie master and could do wheelies nearly as long as wanted, even without using the breaks at all. The rich kids with their expensive bikes were not amused because we had wheelie contests on our street nearly every day xD

I had the Huffy and later, my dad bought one of those Goffa things with a 6(?) speed. Mongoose was the rich kid bike. Then someone in my neighborhood got a Haro.

Yes, but with red wheels/tires & accessories.
Traded for a Redline Proline frame and fork, which got traded for a PK Ripper ( still have ! )

The coolest! The closest that I got was my chrome Diamondback. Parents wouldn’t put those mag rims on though. Still felt like a king zipping around the neighborhood though

My brother had this bike. He was very cool.

Lucky kids….expensive to own when many parents were truly skint…..Us slightly older ones had grifters choppers and hawks…..They based the Challenger 2 tank off the Grifter frame… The British army still use toggle chains to this day .🤔

I saved up and bought a used GT Mach One and I thought I was the fastest and coolest thing on two wheels
