Thankfully not that much at all. I've been quite lucky in what i find and where i find it. I generally scour car bootys and ebay for all the unwanted and unloved shit.

I'd be surprised if i'd spent 2k if i'm honest.

Skip rat  :yahoo_silent: only kidding my lovely  ;D

Not those 3 Si mate but my last booty find was a Mongoose cali special (gussett goose)

The Rickman was a £54 ebay buy though  :smitten: it included an early Unstamped Hutch seat clamp, a DK stem, Redline forklifter bars and a few other named bits.
I'm ever hopeful something will turn up soon at one though as MRD, SRE and Rickman were all born down in the south.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

daz bmx it!

Probably 6K over 7 years but must turn over at least 1.5k a year at the moment as try to keep it self financing as much as possible (and change bikes as my tastes / needs change).

If somebody told me 8 years ago I'd have spent this on BMX I would have laughed at them but had so much fun doing it it's unreal  >:D
Why oh why do I still buy kids bikes!
