OMG I thought I had imagined these. My first ever bike :biggrin:
Learnt to ride on a Raleigh Chippy, and thought I'd only recently got into riding fixed?

All I remember where the soild rubber tyres.

I actually thought it was Budgie, but all the Budgies seem to have pneumatic tyres, so it must have been a Chippy.

This was my first proper bike. Saved up with my own money and evryfin.

Well, not this particular bike, but one the same as. Except for the suicide levers. Mine didn't have those.

This brings back some memories,I didn't have the Team Banana edition,mine was Red and White.I was about 12 and i reserved the bike at Halfords and each week i would go down to the store and pay another amount towards the total (I think it cost £100) from my paper round and they would mark it off on a card and i would just stare at the bike hanging from the display rack.
I used to do all the extra rounds i could get and lots of washing cars to pay the full amount off so that i could have the bike.It was a great way to teach me about saving money.
