I was shooting a lot of minibke racing back then but don't remember ever seeing Chris Hill with green wheels...............
There's every chance I'm wrong though...............   ::)

Does the name Paul Lockart ring any bells? And I reckon on this particular bike black spokes would have looked the goods ;)  :P

I think you'll find that Paul who owns that kx80 has had it since new.
