Lovely film - great story.
A chrome Bomber was the first bike I bought myself. £30 from the Classified's in the Hull Daily Mail. I think I thought it was a 'proper' mountain bike but was too scared to admit my mistake when my dad had driven me to go and see it.
I rode it for a couple of summers - thankfully Hull is a very flat place - before losing it somewhere. I have a vague memory of it being launched into the River Hull for a dare but, on reflection, I don't think we could have been strong enough to chuck it that far!
