One of my customers on my Post round has an awsome collection of bikes  :4_17_5: :4_17_5:.

Mostly Haro freestylers and GT Performers but he has 2 of those Hoffman Evel Knievel things in white. I think Dom knows him as he's in Southampton. He's also a good buyer from me  :LolLolLolLol: seems pointless putting my stuff on Rad when Steve want's it all, saves postage anyhow. He recently bought my Quad and a set of Anlun pro bars off of me for one of his Haro builds.

Those Knievel things are well cool though  :4_17_5: :4_17_5:




I don't show some of my bikes on RAD, 2 of them have never been shown.  :yahoo_silent:

I had a friend come up to me says a guy on his building site is selling some of his bmx's am i interested, turns out the guy was flogging off some tsaty bits, and framesets, Hutch, speedlines, DC's loads of stuff, he'd not heard of rad or any of the other likely forums. I got priced out of the buying, but hooked up a fellow member with the goodies

I also know of 1 Radster who posts on here regularly , he has been given a hard time in the past for his sales thread and has recently built 2 X High top end fantastic bikes  :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

He has hardly ever shown any of his stuff on here, it's not just the 70+ fully built bikes he has, it's his endless stock of NOS parts aswell.  :smitten: :smitten:  But then, for the shit he has taken in the past  ( not recently) i wouldn't give anyone the pleasure neither.

i met a chap a couple of year ago to pick up a fight crank and he said a mate of his has every single jmc but never shows anybody his collection and doesnt even like to tak about it :uglystupid2:

Is that not John from Birmingham? He has shared his collection with us, I have seen it in the flesh even swapped JMC frame sets with him so he could complete his collection.
this bloke lives in scotland apparently

I have an old friend from my school days who has a fair sized collection  8)

And a fair few NOS UK frames  :smitten:

He'd never heard of RAD  :idiot2:

There's a fair few people out there who don't "Show and Shine"  :coolsmiley:
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

let every one enjoy the view  ???

don't know why they just show pic's of the stuff for people/members who enjoy BMX - doesn't mean we are going to badger them every second or find out where there live

for me having some nice bmx and just put it away in the loft for no one to see or just to be forgotten is such a shame

pictures of great items need to be seen  ;)

I can understand why people wouldn't want to show all of their collection. I dont go out of my way to put every bike or part I own online, however if a topic comes up relating to such a bike Im happy to share mine with other enthusiasts. I think we can all appreciate that being part of a BMX collecting community and sharing info has benefited all of us in many ways. However at the same time Im sure they guys with 100's of bikes might also feel like exposing the entire collecting might open them up to constant pestering by other people (not to mention I doubt many insurance companies would add 100+ collectable bicycles to you household policy free of charge).  :2funny:

Each to their own, but I do think sharing knowledge within the community is important even if you are not posting a catalogue of what you own.
