I had to google Birmos. We just called them baggies, probably because I grew up in the midlands so we knew what a dump Birmingham was. I'm imagining the rest of the country looking up to Brum as some kind of style centre. Forget Carnaby Street, I've got Birmos!

We were under no illusions as to the lack of cachet our address conferred upon us, but neither did we look to Birmingham for haute couture. They were just called "Birmingham Bags", or "Birmos" for short
Same here, wouldn't ride one again. I did love mine, did many miles on it, but it was a bit of a liability. The racing bike I replaced it with was a million times better. PS it's also a bit 'small' for an adult.
