Well im glad someone ended up with this, i had been watching this since it was on Gumtree about a year ago. Please tell me you paid a nice price for it

When it ended on ebay i sat thinking should i just bid as it had ended a couple of times with no interest.
Good purchase tho mate and can i ask if it has a coaster brake also?

Jaymz- Is it a whole bike your after or f/f? Just iv been toying with striping mine lately as works been slow

Deano · « **Reply #10 on:** November 07, 2011, 12:57 PM »

Thats not a bad price

Tbh he offered it to me cheaper as i was having a mate collect it for me but he must have then decided to sell it to you as i messaged him back about getting his address and other questions before sending the payment.
I sold a few items so i had the funds in paypal too

Like i said glad it was you who ended up with it

Jaymz- pm coming matey

Nice bike mate!

I bet your street is now sloping down to your house, with 2 brakedancers in your shed.

One more and you will affect the earth's rotation.

Cool as

brakedancer · « **Reply #13 on:** November 07, 2011, 05:30 PM »

cheers guys

i have a lino floor in me shed so i think they will feel quite at home.....

tbh i don't think there that heavy not for cruisin any how.....they feel soild too un like the streetbeats..performers...with rizla paper drop outs......

deano i think the seller played us off against each other my first offer was £150 posted witch he said he would acceped if i comfirmed i lived in england

only to come back and say he had been offered £200 posted but would still let me have if i could match that price....because i asked first..

anyways still chuffed with it

still would like second refusel on the orange dancer........

Deano · « **Reply #14 on:** November 07, 2011, 05:46 PM »

Well i offered £150 collected and he said yes, but my relatives didnt want a green/yellow bike in there house LOL

politics up there

So i then messaged back to say £170 posted and thats where it ends as i didnt get a reply.
I did wonder if it has the oe 2 lever as it was listed but i couldnt see 2 rear calipers or lever in the pics?

Iv not pm'd Jaymz yet to see. Ill let you know tho on the orange one

These are kind of Funky

I like them in a kinda weird way. Reminds me of the 80 Halfords Adds next to the Redline 400's

any info on this would be cool

anybody?

deeman · « **Reply #22 on:** November 09, 2011, 11:22 AM »

been trying to find out,havnt had much luck but i know there was defo a well known english freestyler was sponsored by them and rode one.Im sure i read a test on the bike,maybe when halfords started selling them,and they had the actual rider doing the test,name Jamie Vince springs to mind but that could be wrong,was he a freestyler?oh my memory fails me(again!)

:idiot2:someone on here will know!!

vincentframes · « **Reply #23 on:** November 09, 2011, 11:26 AM »

Andy Preston rode for Scorpion for a while.

I recall a magazine with a photo of him doing a "knee press" (knees on bars, feet on seat) and the caption called him a "rave from the grave". He was on a Brakedancer.
