Mine was a Hercules Jeep that my dad bought for me when I was about 10. It had 18 inch frame, 24 inch wheels and rod brakes, I remember that I was so proud of it.

I seem to remember one if those in a kind of two tone blue in my deep and darkest past.

This is my first proper bike, an "Ernie Clements" Falcon. It was given to me when I was 11 (I think), and this photo was from around 10 years later, somewhere between Leeds and York...

1970 or thereabouts. Handed down triang. It was red with white pneumatic tyres a rod front brake and cable rear. Think it had chrome mudguards too. Got an upgrade aged 7 to a Raleigh Tomahawk. (A wee version of the Chopper) It was red too.

I'd had plenty of old bikes I'd bodged together from parts when I was young, but my first proper racer was a custom built Ron Spencer, when I was probably about 18. I'd saved up for a long time for the bike. Shimano 600, Reynolds 531 frame. My uncle was a good amateur racer and I was determined that I could beat his times, I never did.

(The bike was stolen in the 1990's and never seen again.)

I had a puch racer with 10 gears....whatever happened to puch?

I think my first bike was like this, But I remember the TT10 on it.
