Back in the day, not all were lucky to own state-of-the-art BMX bikes as they were pretty expensive. When I first started out, I had a CINCOA BMX bike. I know...strange sounding name but they were pretty popular back in the day. No matter what people said about it, I loved my bike.
Just recently, one of the old-schoolers came upon this stash of BMX bikes that was kept by this bikeshop. These bikes were pulled out of the boxes they were stored in, some as long as 25 years. They were assembled and here they are...new-old-stock or NOS as we call them in the BMX world. When I saw this pic, instant memories of my CINCOA bike came flooding back. There is a CINCOA among the stash there in the pic. Would love to get one but there are 5 bikes in my house so it would not be practical.
A trip down memory lane for me, in more ways than one. I was able to realise my dreams on that bike. Now that BMX is in the Olympics, can the powers that be here in Singapore help some kids realise their dreams of racing against the best? I hope so and I hope those YOG people can make it so.
