The Story
Whitefield Pro Tuff BMX Bike Blue White started a couple of years ago when we were approached by someone about “a quantity of old BMX parts” he had. After our excitement subsided when we realised it wasn’t a lock-up full of VDC Changas, we went to take a look at what he actually had. The start of the accompanying video captures the moment we first saw the scale of what was there.
This chap had bought the old stock, along with some regular bikes, many years ago from a bike shop in Bury. It appears these were imported at the time in component form, as the duty was lower than complete bikes. There was pretty much everything needed to build complete BMX bikes, with two different frames available. Back in the day, these would probably have been comparable to something like a Moto One.
We took a gamble, hired a van, hauled everything back to Wigan, counted it all up, and then sat on it while we decided what to do. After making some initial plans and building a couple of sample bikes — which we displayed at the We Were Rad event in Southsea in April 2023 — the project was suddenly put on hold when Alan became seriously ill.
Fast forward to 2025: all is good again, and the project is finally ready to go. These bikes, including the Whitefield Pro Tuff BMX Bike Blue White, are now available for collectors who appreciate authentic old school BMX components.
