Author Topic: I only wanted the stem (Read 1210 times)

In2bmx · « **on:** January 04, 2014, 11:38 AM »

I had a mate who was selling some Blue Zd's and a blue stem I sold him about a year ago ... I said I'd take the stem back and like to look at the wheels ...
He brought them attached to the bike .

I Didn't pay a lot for it .. What's it worth ?

The chain has to come off , today !

Hmmm! late 84-86 GT Pro/Mach One

where's the serial?

rear drop = US made

bb = made on t'other side of the world.

But you already know this

US one's more sought after.

Although there is no love for them

There was a thread at the end of last year about the lack of love.

If it's getting in your way, speak to me

Cool, it could have started life as either a Pro or a Mach One, depends on components at source of sale.
They also came as frame and fork sets too

Takes me back to when i wanted an Anlun stem for my 84 Haro sport and ended up buying a full survivor sport !!

Them Zed's and that stem will look great on the ripper Carl

GT looks nice in White

Might be interested in the seat if it's mint and your splitting

I also bought a whole bike off eBay once just for the stem,a green tuf neck freestyle stem.
The bike turned out to be a Puch and it had all top bits on it,Tuffs,Skyway Ez mk1 bars,tuf neck power disc ,takagi crank.
Once I split it it meant I got the stem for nowt and over £100 in my pocket
