Brett from England acquired an unridden Minson skatebike, circa 1985. This is a first release version. In the UK it was called a Roller Shuttle. You can tell it is a first generation from the stripe on the seat, the brake mount and the secondary curved tube to the front truck.

For someone looking to restore a skatebike, this is a nice photo collection of what a new one looked like.

Thanks Brett for sharing. I hear you are “becoming quite attached to it…it’s pretty cool.”
