Was this the really old forum, where somebody asked what a looptail was?

[theRuler]

Yeh TFB!

I had a look through the old sales section and found some crackers!

But then it doesn't seem like yesterday that Alans was selling complete old school Haros with tuffs etc for about £250 a pop.
It wasn't yesterday though . . . it was over 10 years ago

Back in the mid-late 90's ACS was still selling Z Rims and Z mags too.
There was a ton of old school stuff about then, but then . . . it was like just 10 year old tat that was not much good for riding on!
We wanted fat tubes!! 1 inch deep rims!!

Yeah mate i know............but its more realistic than looking in them old mags from the 80s......them prices dont seem real

You know what else is funny back then in 2005 ....they used to moan about the prices

[theRuler]

Some of the prices people are asking for parts on this forum nowadays are staggering.

I know there is supply and demand, and "rarity" but there is also fleecing your mates.

Not all of the prices though, I hasten to add.

6 years ago i bought my first old school ,a 89 ripper xl from Greg .(motomag 11)
spent the next 4 years having a great time  buying and selling parts to fund a great hobby.
i only have one bike now for knocking around on my ELF .

old school is a rich kids game now,not many peeps have a grand or so knocking around to buy a F&Fs, FFS
u cant even do it on the cheap anymore (just look on ebay its a piss take)

sorry for the little rant guys.i love bmx and would love to have a collecting of stunning bikes.
gonna leave it to the new guy with the cash ,and stick to paying the bills

now offence ment regards Russ.

No mate your entitled to a little rant ............getting more like the 80s everyday were only the rich kids from private housing estates could afford anything better than a burner 

I had many a burner until i saved , swapped and fixed my way up to a TA 

And just another point but have you seen the tat in the for sale section wtf are some people on in here..............fooooking glue me thinks

I think i will put a nice oil stained haro lightning bolt brake caliper cover in there and ask for £500 

A hobby thats killing itself slowly lol dont think prices will go any further now............but maybe

[theRuler]

dont think prices will go any further now............but maybe

We thought that 5 years ago.

Now it seems even a Burner is a "wallet build"

There are, however, still some bargains to be had - cruise the car boots, sift through the junk at the tip etc.
There are still thousands of undiscovered gems sitting in people's sheds.

yEah your right there ruler graham, when i worked for the council as an hgv mechanic i used to get breakdown all the time up the tip as they tend to drive like rally drivers in them big ten wheelers...........and woo i seen many a bashed in bmx bike..........tons and tons of burners ...........once i even pulled one out a tip lorry a super tuff and blow up the tyres and was pulling wheelies all over the workshop lol i could have taken any of them as the guys on the lorries did not care but this was early 2000 and i thought then my bmx days were over .....did not even know there was a revival or anything or that guys over the age of 18 were still riding..........when i found out that was a real head foooook 

[lk_97]

There's a tip right near me, next to the Leicester Tigers training ground in a posh part of Leicester(yes there is actually posh parts of Leicester ) but of course they don't sell things unless they know you.
