Mine was a second hand Tomohawk bike. (A small version of a Chopper.) I wanted a brand new one and when my Dad brought home for me this second hand one. I was very disappointed. Now I look back and think how great my Dad was for getting me that bike, we were'nt well off and it must have been hard for him to afford it. You only realise these things when you are older.
