I have had a wanted up for an Anlun stem for ages with no joy

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=143125.0;topicseen

Until i had a reply from a good mate on Thursday ( Tony - Torkerdude180)

I finally had one !!

Unfortunately it was attached to this ................

99% original 1984 survivor gen 3 sport

Needless to say i had to have it

The lads it was apparently had it this way from the shop back in 84 , i assume the factory spec white z's were swapped for the skyways either by the shop or at the request of the new owner . We are trying to find out what it was, if we can contact the og owner . Everything else is total factory spec , down to the blue 84 DC cable , the Haro stamped seat , anlun chainring/disc,gold bolts and the cheng shin snakebellies .

It is in great condition , a few scuffs to the decals and a few surface scratches to the paint . Tony commented on the pedals and grips having virtually no scuffs on them at all

It really can't of been used much at all !!

Looks like the dropouts haven't seen any action , or movement since new

Chainring shows little sign of use aswell .....

It's staying all together as a true survivor , very sympathetic resto/clean up and she's done

It would be criminal to split this or over resto it in my eyes .

It will live with my other 84 sport and my chrome 84 FST

To say im made up is an understatment , love this bike for what it is .... a true 84 survivor

Can't thank you enough Tony , your a diamond passing the lead onto me when it could have been so easy to make a fast buck on it

cheers mate , really appreciated ...... i owe you one

Suppose the only thing is ...... I still need a stem as there's no way this ones coming off this bike !

cheers lads

Joff

Thought you might like it Dave !

As you can appreciate theres no way while this is in my possesion that it will get split , it has to stay together imo .

The only downside to this purchase is there's no way I can make it to Cologne now , sorry mate

Think my good lady would turf me out !! I keep going on my footy weekends and on most of the RAD rides and we have no family holiday planned for this year , she says there has to be a bit of give and take!!

As you know Mark im more of a race bike fan myself but i had two bikes on my list when i got back into this hobby that were dream bikes as a kid , a loopy ripper and an 84 sport .... I now have them both so im one happy chap

I know what your saying about the footstands etc , they never appealed to me hence the early chrome FST purchase as i thought an 84 sport was out of reach .

It was funny when you said '' Joff i have found you a stem but it's attached to a bike and he won't split " ...... i did think here we go

..... just wasn't expecting it to be attached to this !!

Thanks again Tony

Nice Joff!

Now that's a bundle deal nobody's gonna turn down

What a beauty and definately gone to a good home

I'm glad there's unselfish lads like Tony and respectful collectors like yourself on here still mate .

It would be a crime to split ,

but there's a good few who would have this bits and sold

Lovely original bike

Nice that, Joff, mate!

Look forward to seeing her on the next ride.

What a lovely fella, our Tone is!

Cheers Christian

Tony has been a real star with this one, he's one of the many lads ( a lot have posted above ) i have met on here who are totally genuine , a great laugh and without RAD i would never of met . It's meeting lads like this and the RAD rides that makes this place special in my eyes

I have to say too that Tony's thoughts were exactly the same as mine and yours Christian ..... it would be a crime to split this bike . I can assure you it will never happen as long as i own it

( Tony has first shout on it if i decided to sell .... so it won't get split by him either )

Rich , I do think this will be making an appearance on one of the next rides (maybe minus the snakebellies) as both Tony and i couldn't wait to get it back to his house and have a blast on it

Glen , thanks for the kind words mate

Thanks for all the commments lads , appreciated

.............. and yeah Gaz , i dare say you would have held me to ransom and made me beg for it aswell

i would have sweet talked you around though

Macmania · « **Reply #20 on:** June 09, 2012, 08:24 PM »

Nice score Joff, good old Tony

Awesome when bikes like this end up with proper enthusiasts and not clowns in it to make a quick buck

Why isnt this working · « **Reply #21 on:** June 09, 2012, 08:28 PM »

I'm loving that!! What a find. Do you mind telling me how much you had to pay for it Joff...??

Si.

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2012, 08:29 PM »

Great story this and a great ending

Well done to Tony for passing this on and well done Joff for having it. Glad to hear it's going to stay complete

Love a survivor and this is one of the best kind, near 100% complete.

BIG up to the pair of you guys

spyderpit13 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2012, 09:32 PM »

thanks for all the comments felas, but your making me blush...

. it wasnt my cup of tea, the haro, icnonic all the same. but couldnt let this go, and possibley parted out??? so, joff got the phone call, and is now, safe and sound in his "bmx family"

and joff, if you do decide to sell, it would defo end up in my bmx room
