Sold i wouldnt have minded although id rather just still have them) but gut wrenchingly at sometime between 1987-2007 both my bikes namely fully loaded Skyway TA and Curtis freestyler apparently were in the way in my parents garage and were removed to a shed at the top of the garden and from there nobody can remember or knows where they went

When RAD first started I gave away a NOS pair of CW pro bars and a NOS set of Action Zone bars to 2 fellow Radsters that I`d never met....No regrets though as I was never gonna use `em & prices weren`t as mad back then.

A restored 1983 mongoose expert, powerdisk, sugino cranks, had loads of good parts... I got rid of it to get a new school, I swapped it for a basically new wethepeople trust and loads of parts, I made about £100 on the parts and got some new mutiny glam bars and a 9t wheel, so it's not all that bad I guess

swopped a harry leary turbo for a gram of coke in 95

Sold a fair few bits that i needed a few months later but the worst things were the bits i gave away, i didn't realise how hard to find the small things in BMX are. MarkyP's done well out of me

and he won't give them back as they're on his show bikes.

I have let go of so much good stuff in the past let alone what I gave away when I stopped riding and then there is all the stuff my step dad threw out when I moved out and into my own place

Peter J · « **Reply #18 on:** March 17, 2012, 08:34 AM »

The worse one for me was when I swapped Goose Pro Class for a Kenwood CD player for my Mini 1275 GT when I was 17

Taipan · « **Reply #19 on:** March 17, 2012, 09:04 AM »

Judging by the prices that people are wanting now? anything you either gave away for free! or sold for cheap is gonna hurt price wise $:-\$

Darren KAP · « **Reply #20 on:** March 17, 2012, 09:09 AM »
