Hardly bought anything in the last 12 months, a frame and forks i'd wanted for ages, sold another as soon as it arrived.... one in one out

Some Colony lugged forks last week

Got 3 bikes built up and a few bits and bats i should get shut of

I don't want anymore, doesn't stop me looking in the for sale section

Bit of trading in and out, after quite a long lull.

Got a chrome laserlite to finish off, a black nova to build, a quad being done a diffent colour, and a pro racer than needs finishing, oh and a strip and rethink for the greyserlite.

Finished tweaking my gt pro, and need to take gen 2 profiles out of r gusset and replace with a nice one piece.

Only spent 500 quid on new bits to allow all that to happen, so a lot of bang for my buck, did have most of the stuff already though.

I like messing about with old school bmx's.. Bit of harmless fun and the lads/ craic on here seems to be getting back round to where it once was.

All good.

In2 bmx · « **Reply #12 on:** May 02, 2012, 09:50 PM »

Ive given up . But still keep buying stuff

rad_pitt · « **Reply #13 on:** May 02, 2012, 09:51 PM »

I bought a Skyway TA this week but it arrived with a bloody crack in it - so I'm using that as an excuse to calm down. I've been selling bits I've not been using to fund other bits for builds, so I haven't really been spending much at all.

Building a new school (ish) bike to take up my trails and possibly looking for something mid-school as I miss my tank of a dirtbike.

But I think I'm done building ponies.

Peter J · « **Reply #14 on:** May 02, 2012, 09:54 PM »

The price of stuff at the moment is daft

I only buy stuff thats either cheap or dirt cheap

TBH I'd even haggle over free stuff

kungfunky · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2012, 09:55 PM »

Stopped buying stuff years ago as theres nothing I like

mark 2 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 02, 2012, 10:15 PM »

Was averaging a bike a month for 7 years, calmed right down, bought one bike in last 2 years.

dordymush · « **Reply #18 on:** May 02, 2012, 10:27 PM »

thebigdog · « **Reply #19 on:** May 02, 2012, 10:27 PM »

I would like to buy........ but there seems to be very little out there worth having

bodamus · « **Reply #20 on:** May 02, 2012, 10:27 PM »

Don't buy much either as most of it just seems over priced to me $:-\$

I'm happy with my 3 bikes - just want to ride them while I still can

doesn't mean I won't tweak them a bit at some point of course
