Repco Hotfoot

While researching information for my '85 Team Hotfoot and up-coming '82 Team Hotfoot build, I got so sick of finding information then losing it again that I started copying images of bikes, parts and advertising material into a single place. To assist others, I have reproduced this information over the following pages .. most of the information can be found on OzBMX and BMXMuseum and I am not pretending that this informtion will replace either of these valuable resources.

Please browse through all of the material I have collected:

If you have any Hotfoot information or photos, please forward them to me and I will add them to the site. I am especially interested in brochures and advertisements as these are most valuable when restoring bikes back to their original glory.

Pad Sets

I have prepared artwork for a number of different Hotfoot pad sets and have worked with Stephen from Esem Design to get them made previously. If you are interested in getting pads made or buying the pads below, contact Stephen Dobson via email and discuss your requirements directly with him. Please mention that you got the link from my site!

Prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may change without notice. Due to the considerably cost of freight, it makes sense to order multiple pad sets together to combine freight. Again, talk to Steve about combined postage put a basic parcel to Australia is £12.

'83 / '84 Team Pad Sets

The first four '82 Team Hotfoot pads depicted below were made from the artwork found at the top of the flyer on the Brochures and Advertisements page. It wasn't until after the '83 / '84 catalogue was unearthed and an original pad found did I realise the artwork for the 'Team' word wasn't right - the correct graphics are shown in the fifth image. I actually prefer the incorrect artwork over the proper one!

Stubby Holders

In my own attempt at crowd funding, I put a call out on Facebook to see who would want a stubby holder or two if I ordered a batch. My first mistake was that I put up three options knowing that in the end I would probably make only one type. As predicted I got an even spread across the three designs and in the end I had to narrow it down or order 50 of each. I ended up choosing the two designs I liked and the ones I had artwork for!

Before you ask, these are basically all sold out. If I get enough interest I may do a repeat run though this time I would probably include a simple Team Hotfoot design similar to the '84 / '85 pads above (black backgrounds with Team Hotfoot and three horizontal stripes in white).
