Very rare bike on eBay, have you seen it?
« on: September 05, 2017, 03:14 PM »
Hi,
Just spotted this today, it's probably been seen by everyone already.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Old-School-Challenger-Racing-20-inch-BMX-1985-/253118057294?hash=item3aef030b4e:g:uncAAOSwYZ9Zor5g

They seem very rare.
Some good info on The USA Museum.
http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/challenger_racing/

How did it end up over here? Does anyone know the bike?
I would be bidding, but the wife would go mental, I've got a kitchen to fit, plus it's miles away!

Absolutely, twin top tube race frames are very cool, like Torker.
It'll be interesting to see what it goes for!

Very smart, and some lovely components to boot. If I did not have three projects on the go then I would be a rat up a proverbial. The lack of 'big name' kudos is the only thing that will hold this back.

You think the end price might be reasonable then? mmm... Are you anywhere near Leicester?

it's 5 miles down the road from me if anyone seriously wanted me to pick it up for them, if only I had the cash at the mo  :(

We could arrange courier etc from my place if that would help, And all it will cost you is the pedals  :2funny: Sorry, couldn't resist the last statement  ::)

Spitting distance from me!
But there goes any hope of getting it I suppose.
Wish these links would go up AFTER the auction end !

Sorry, the location said petersfield and when I looked on google maps it came up with a place just south of Leicester? I've just looked again and it's now in Hampshire? weird? I did hit my head at the weekend!

I like the twin down tube, looks really cool.  I think it went quite cheap really , considering the pedals it has on it .

I watched it to the death, had the BID button ready but then went out of my short arms/deep pocket range. Shame really would have liked those pedals  "wantit"

Bargain at the £720 price tag. I am sure it will get flipped minus the bars, stem and pedals  :)
