got me wondering,collectors who stay anonymous.

Not surprised with all the mentals on here

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

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   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  




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

[meticulous]

maybe its well known people that are in the public eye that dont want to be recognised, that hide away there collections?

they must be a few....

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

[southern andy]

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  

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.    But then, for the shit he has taken in the past  ( not recently) i wouldn't give anyone the pleasure neither.

[stuntmaster]

that the problem you show the stuff off and everyone wants it , i had one guy years ago round my house to buy something and boy did i struggle to get rid of him and he wanted to buy everything i had but would not take no for answer , nowsdays i don`t shown anything anymore because of this as also because of the value of stuff now ,sad really but it`s my life in those bikes   

[markyp]

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

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 

And a fair few NOS UK frames 

He'd never heard of RAD 

There's a fair few people out there who don't "Show and Shine" 

[OrgasmDonor]

remember the early days of rad when there were a few threads n post about the enigma of "poolysherriff" that name that was in the bidders list of almost anything you were interested in on ebay in the early naughties, took a long while to find out he he was, poor c*nt, where is he now?

I know of at least 2 round my way  but have know idea who they r 

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

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

There's gonna be loads around the country and every now and again someone just might discover one

I'm not talking about Darren.

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). 

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.
