Australian made. Invada Racing Team very early 1980's
I came across this F+F's in an old bike shop, it has been sitting in the same spot for over 25years. Australian made Invada BMX Pro Am 20inch. Very lightwight specially for racing. For those who dont know Invada was a company that made number plates and other acc's for BMXing in the early 1980's.

Mate,
That's beautiful! Invada were big in Australia in the 80's & it seemed like everybody had Invada pads & plates (me included).
The company belonged to a Pro racer named Darren May from Penrith, who I remember as being a very cool & friendly guy.
I just bought a mint NOS Invada mesh pad set (blue) on ebay if you are interested let me know.
Take it easy

Thats one of the very few Invada frame set's I've ever seen. It's excellent. I used to own an Invada pad set and plate back in the very early 90's....I wish I still owned them.

Strikingly similar to the Redline frames of the same era, minus the dropouts. They are missing that signature Redline horizontal fold at the bottom.
Jeez, even the forks are quite similar!
I saw one of these on eBay a few months ago. It was chrome.
Forgot to see where it ended up price wise.
Good to see the Aussies are still pimping the ol' school stuff, too!

Nice one Luis.
The Invada company was owned by Darrens father, Chuck. He owned a bike shop in the Penrith area called Blueflame BMX. His custom Black 34 ford was a regular at all the NSW tracks. Later Darren started a company called DME. He also opened a bikeshop on the NSW central coast. He is now in China or Japan and has opened a bar there. He is also a member of RAD. Darren was my biggest competition at Blacktown track bitd. He was and still is a fast bugger. He was the only "local" that could beat Stu Thomsen when he visited down under.
