just started to tidy under my work benches to lob out all the old rubbish collected over the years...many years
well,im not a user of 1pc cranks as a rule,never was btd,found 20 sets of various brands takagi,sugino,various 90s brands odyssey,seventies.
not all in wonderfull condition but some are worth a go...
not worth much money but better than my previous idea of lobbing them in the skip.
any of you had a clear out and found things you had forgot about ?

I'm always finding stuff I've forgotten about, not just for BMX but for my vintage bikes and old cars I had

ohh and I might be interested in any 70's cranks you might have

I have put 2 sets of nos hutch bear traps somewhere with some tuff pro pads, fook can I find em.......its mental

Most of them will fetch at least £10. Take them to MK or you will spend all you money on postage. 20 X £10 = £200

got a mcneil gary young mk1 frame stuffed under my work bench, only comes out and gets used when i break the dirtbike frame

im sure ive got some brake mount volume team forks under there too along with various hubs and chainrings im saving for the future/special builds

somewhere is a brand new fsa orbit uf lower needle bearing, got 2 from the states as its near impossible to get them over here, ive used one already and now i gotta find the other as ive just sourced another fsa uf headset and its needle bearing is fooked

Gary, is that the chrome Pig headset I had off you?, if it is, its in my lounge, snuggled up to some 2hip porkiness!!!

I have a battered hoffman frame, loads of cheap rims and tyres, plus all my 110v kit under my bench, and some fluff.
