There was a white version of much the same bike.
I wanted one.

But my childhood bike ownership went like this.

Tommahawk
Strika (or Striker) - with a pedal back break (meaning I did the best skids)
Grifter
'generic' racer (5 speed)
A bigger racer (10 speed)

Then I was on my own, being a lad with a Saturday job, so I got myself a limited edition Saracen mountain bike which got nicked within 3 weeks of me having it.

My research suggests the white version was the arguably cooler sounding 'Vektar'

I managed to go through life without a BMX
Even though I wanted one. My parents were off the opinion that I'd come a cropper and break my arm or something if I had one.

I nicked it. Sorry Jeff.
