I'm heart broken.

I've been having odd thoughts in my mind for quite a while now and I really dont know what to do. I have quite a nice collection of bikes/parts/frame and forks in my loft that never get seen and i'm contemplating getting rid of all of it. If i was in a possition to buy a bigger house with a "boys" room then i'd not be writing this but im not sure i ever will to be honest.. Perhaps i'm just depresed as I popped out to get a bottle of wine last sunday on my TA and come off breaking my finger and taking a f*ck off chunk out of my other palm

I dont know really... I've been collecting for nearly 10 years....but think I may be falling out of love. help

Si

are you going to MK Si?

Sure you'll feel the love there, even if it's only for 5 minutes in Diggler's van

Si the passion comes and goes mate, a few beers and looking at all of the wonderful show and shine efforts will get your blood pumping again

Si, get yourself round the camp-fire on the helipad mate and we'll all take the pish out of each other, get drunk and make you feel better ya big girl's blouse, so cheer the fook up

Oh, sell the NOS parts and buy some needing attention and love to restore them, you'll feel so much better

i was there back in april /may,i looked at my bikes and thought 'wtf am i doing with a room full of kids bikes!' due to personal circumstances the love had gone but its back with a bang now and im so glad i didnt act on impulse and start shifting my collection,id be livid now.the passion for old school comes and goes but i realised pretty quickly that its what makes me at this point in my life and im glad the bikes are there,and im the envy of my mates too

I did it.

Sold some nice stuff, and regret doing so.

Am gonna buy a few soon though, I can feel it.

AKGOFF · « **Reply #15 on:** July 28, 2011, 06:27 PM »

I think you're absolutely right Si my man, I think you should get rid of the lot, you'll feel much better. I'll take the NOS Fred Z's, the NOS Quad and the green Skys for a start, I'll be round next week to collect my stuff.

Seriously mate, don't do it, YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Beat Mick up instead to release your tension.

depends on whether you want a hug, or advice.......

are you defined by what your stash is? material possesions are often not as good as you initially think they are.

sometimes its the chase thats important.

Darren KAP · « **Reply #17 on:** July 28, 2011, 11:19 PM »

Can i dib the contents of your collection ,,,,,,,,,,,,, only joking mate like its already been said don't act on impulse i'm sure you'd regret it ,

Some more advice don't drink and ride it fookin hurts

sid1972 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 28, 2011, 11:50 PM »

sold mine, no regrets mate - they were stuck under a plastic sheet in the cellar and I hated not having them on show - got 4 newish bikes now that I ride when I can, much happier!

I still have the love, you just have to have to decide whats more important and I have had more fun riding than polishing.

Some lucky feckers have both, but its not possible for me.

Threaders · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2011, 01:45 PM »

I'm sort of new on this scene, but my advice is if your not certain, dont do anything. No harm in keeping it stashed away for a year or two, while you focus on other stuff. At least you know that the stuff you have will hold its value.
For me I would only sell my bmx collection if I had a definate plan on what to do with the cash, ie deposit on house, kids uni fees ect, wifes boob job
