Some of you may remember recently i built a bike for my nephew as his mum coldnt afford one for him. I dont see him all that often so it was the least i could do. Anyway I found out today that he had had it for 3 days before it was stolen from the shed where he lives. And he was too upset to tell me.

So I ask you all to please keep your eyes peeled on ebay gumtree any classified sites for this unique looking Diamondback Joker, in ford metallic colours, with DMR grips

I'm going to post this around as the more eyes looking the the better

Oh and please dont think im posting this to get a free bike for him, All I ask is you keep your eyes peeled for me, thank you

Thank you BE for you kind offer, but as ive just said to davemac over on burnerworld [ http://burnerworld.8.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=347894#347894 ] Im not trying to levy free stuff out of people, Im just hoping that as some time has passed since it was stolen, and the fact that i have only just found out, the idiots that stole it may be stupid enough to have held onto it and will decide soon to try and get shot of it.

Thank you again for the kind offer, we'll get him sorted at some point though

thieving cnuts

got some bars that came off my mongoose & I swapped em as they were too small for me - couple of rusty spots but think they're cro-mo (didn't want to chuck em in a skip)
you're welcome to em when you're ready LMK (should probably get a big lock for the shed first)

It will prob be for sale in all black and no brakes...

ED209 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 13, 2011, 09:54 PM »

I'm in for wheels.... got some black alex rim wheels - brake wear on the black rear rim but good enough wheels still - will send them if needed...

and some Maxxis tyres, got an Odyssey headset too... will think about rest.

Bollocks to the thieving sh*ts... lets get that new bike built...

Things like this come up on RAD from time to time and the way that the top people on here react is always the same... pull together with bits of bike or donations and make something happen.

Helping out with things like this is 100% RADBMX...

Jaymz

stick a list up of all the parts you need and we can pick the bits we can help out with

Mate i know your not after a hand out - we all know that and understand - i have about five or six mongoose 2000 jobs in need of a little work

if i send you a near complete bike then you can see what else you need to sort out a new one for him

give me two days to sort one out

Jaymz · « **Reply #9 on:** March 14, 2011, 08:22 AM »

Thank you, I rellay didnt expect this much feedback tbh

@ Zombie : Its seems to be a pandemic recently here, normally Hereford is pretty crime free, but this is the second bike we've had stolen, the other was my sons back in May, just before I got back into OSBMX, I had just bought myself a 2010 GT vertigo and I gave him that at the time. And I can name 10 other bikes that have gone walks that I know of

@ llk : My thoughts exactly, Ive been scanning all the matt black bikes on the bay since i found out as its the quickest fix to cover a bikes identity

@ BE : you serious???

Ive already gone through my stash and as im not a hoarder of parts, I dont have a lot kicking around, Old school wise I have a set of dyno forks and a copy suntour stem, a black opc. pair of vp placcy pedals, a profile style sprocket, DiaCompe MX101 right hand brake lever. some brake blocks

New school I have a tatty apollo MX20.2 frame and forks that i robbed all the parts off to build the db in the first place!!! Pair of veerubber street tyres and a set of v brakes for the aollo frame if they are complete with all bits.

i've got a 2000 (ish) GT performer in yellow with retro GT decals, gold hombre brakes, GT stem and SE bars you can have if you want it?

Jaymz · « **Reply #11 on:** March 14, 2011, 08:50 AM »

Oh my god I really don't know where to look or what to say at all of this. I am thoroughly blown away by this

fugazi · « **Reply #12 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:25 AM »

Looks like You're already well covered but I'll put up a Hoffman Deebo frame, some forks & bars etc if You need them

sweetbeats · « **Reply #13 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:37 AM »

I know I really am lost for words. He's going to start coming to track with my son and I soon.

I wish he'd told me sooner about the bike going missing, as its been about 4 months. And I think we'll never see it again as we havent got my lads one back, although his was sighted once, and as I know of a few that have gone walkabouts recently I've kept a keen eye on Cash Generator for over a year now.

Spen69 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:06 PM »

Maybe we should have a "parts for free to good causes" section on here?

My brother Simon (Hootski70 on here) have built quite a few skip finds back up and given them away to deserving causes so to speak and always have a few odds and sods lying about.

By the way, I've got a black Mongoose Menace f&f, headset, stem, saddle and a few gubbins to get started on a build if you are interested Jaymz?

Cheers

No idea how to go about this but all donations to jacks bike fund will now be greatly appreciated

Thank you all in advance

J buddy got 3 burners coming next week, if your Nephew is cool with having a burner I will restore and build him one just pay me a tenner postage bud

Jaymz · « **Reply #23 on:** March 19, 2011, 09:09 AM »

Ive sent you a pm Ali.

I dont think a burner is for him, he doesnt understand what old school is and the frame height is higher than a new school hence why i built the diamond back for him.

OK So I have rooted around in the shed and I have found

A pair of alex rims with 14mm axels, front has a slight wobble but no biggie
Pair of V rubber tyres
A tatty diamondback 3 piece crank and diamondback pedals
A black opc &set of 1/2inch placcy pedals
A DC MX101 lever
A fake profile chainring

So this is what i have to start a build with, midschool/new school judging by the wheels i have to start off with
