1980 BH Meteor

Probably first bike "bmx race style" made in Spain

BH Meteor was (maybe) the first bike "bmx style" made in Spain, born around 1979 or 1980 (not sure at all).

In 1981, when first BMX races started in Spain, Meteor was the bike most usual, but in 1982 other brands participate in Bici Cross (bmx) races (Looping, Fidan, Montesa, Peugeot...)
In 1982 BH creates California model, during 1982 and 1983 with the same Meteor frame but diferent decals and components.
In 1984, BH changes frame design and appears BH California X2, X3...  Meteor end, but not its fork, the same fork in all 80's for all BHCalifornia series

Most of components are from BH, but Arius saddle , Notario pedals, Olimpic balon brakes, Iris chain...
You can see more detailed pictures here in my blog: http://bicinova2.blogspot.com/2012/01/bh-meteor-1-serie.html

That model is first series, without kickstand, and 3 tubes joined using something like lugs.

BH Meteor is rare to find in Spain.
