The thread that just keeps on giving!

We’re just fortunate that 2 of finest started the ball rolling and are generous to a fault and happy to share their wealth.

I bloody love the BMX Picking Life! ... many thanks to Clint and Dan for being allowed to join the Mancunian Pickers once again! It’s so much bloody fun it’s untrue !

Was a sort of second hand shop Mick. Probably turn up on ebay as a job lot at some point. They had alsorts, gardening gear, tools, electricals. Wasn't a great deal of bmx there but they had some new school bikes, couple of GT's, a Mongoose or two and a subrosa.
Know nothing about the redline or the cranks on it so just moved on

Okay so a poor days picking for me on Saturday but I saw these on a wall in a bike shop.. I wanted them but the owner didn’t bite sadly ...

We did get to go to the seaside though for some old school arcade action and fish and chips!

Those grips are next level awesome. Would go well with you bmx Walkman.

Mate, when I found it I said to the shopkeeper " I don't care if it works or not, or how much it is. It's cool as fook and I gotta have it"
Charged me a fiver!

Can I ask? Do any of your finds get to the sales market? or are they kept for your personal stashes? I remember enquiring about a black headset a while back but nothing came of it lol?

so while I enjoy what your finds dig up I'm curious?
