    I loved my street wolf I was VERY attached to it me and my now departed cousin used to play "cops and baddies" with the sound box

      They are so iconic of an 80s childhood. As if cycling itself was not fun enough they made it that little more epic for those lucky enough to have one! Thanks for the comment, Take care and happy cycling 🙂👍

    How we drooled over this bike in catalogues back in the 80s. It was like a film prop or something from the distant 1990s.

    I'm so excited for this collab Darren, the Street Wolf has been really popular with visitors to The Cave. I have to admit, I feel bad about taking it from your kids now!!!

      😆 Don't panic Neil - they have plenty of bikes . I am sure they will pop up and see it some time in the future. Can't wait for the Collab - it's going to be loads of fun! Speak soon.

    • @timeforbikes

      I think the wildcat was just a bigger version of the street wolf - they were very similar. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂👍

    RMC Crew! Great video this, I love a good restoration and you've done a fantastic job. My Dad's office used to be right by the Raleigh factory in Nottingham so I owned many a Raleigh bike as a kid but this one seems to have passed me by. It's all about the era of big chunky plastic spokes and fairing!

    • @timeforbikes

    I just saw this bike on RMC's PC Engine video that just came out. This bike was sharing the frame and I got hit by nostalgia lighting. I don't think I've ever seen even an image of that bike in over 30 years, but my brain instantly knew the importance of it! 😂

    • @timeforbikes
      @timeforbikes  2 роки тому +1

      Brilliant, glad it made you think of the past. That little bike has many memories for me aswell and I would have loved to had one myself when I was little. I am still working on another project with Neil - it's going to be great. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Take care and happy gaming!

    Oh the kick of nostalgia! It's always nice to see childhood toys like this in used and enjoyed, but well looked after condition. Really looking forward to seeing the Vector in the future.
    RMC was already on my short list of places to visit, hopefully this year... Mighty have to delay until the Vector is done and hopefully see them both together.
    I hadn't realised just how nostalgic I feel about my childhood bicycles, until I saw your lad on that lovely Peugeot. Didn't have that model, but it did suddenly have me thinking of my first "Racer"; a small Peugeot with a bright white frame. I just can't recall if it was 3-speed, or 5-speed.

    • @timeforbikes
      @timeforbikes  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Damien, thanks for stopping by and reminiscing! I think your Peugeot was probably a five speed if it was like the one in the video. Hopefully I can get the Vektor up together soon. Neil will be restoring the electrics and there may well be a twist. Keep your eye out for our future videos. 🙂👍

    My brother had a Street Wolf. I used to ride it but was really a bit too tall for it. I remember us being really excited when we discovered an extra sound which I suspect was just it glitching.

    • @timeforbikes
      @timeforbikes  9 місяців тому

      Ha, the extra noises I think happen if the switch to change sounds is perfectly between the two setting - however I could be wrong 😆. I so wished I could have had one when I was young, but having had this one sort of makes up for it. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your story, take care and happy cycling 🙂👍
