Just got a Firefox Toxin!

After an hour of tennis in the morning, I decided to go the Firefox Bike Station in Nerul as recommended by Anoop, a Cyclists.in member. I test rode the Cyclone and quite liked it, but I really like the fact that the Target has detachable wheels - great for packing the bike into the car.

A close friend stays at Vashi, so I figured I'd give him a call and say hello. When I told him I'm looking at cycles in Nerul, he knew I was at Firefox and he went on to say that he's got a Firefox bike that he doesn't need anymore! I raced to his place to look at it - it wasn't an MTB as I had hoped for, but hey! it was a BMX! I was instantly transported back to the 80's when I wanted a BMX! I really, badly wanted a BMX and my folks just didn't get me a one. After talking to him about it, he decided to just give me the bike! And so I took it!





It's a black Firefox Toxin with 20" wheels, alloy U-brakes, alloy rims and front+rear stunt pegs! It's COOL!

I never thought I'd actually get a BMX bike in this day an age! This is as much a surprise to me as it is to you!

Now this doesn't mean my bike search is over, no! I'm still going to get either the Firefox Target or the Cyclone (mostly the Target for the detachable wheels) but I'm also considering the Temptest (6 speed gears)...
