I have embarked on my first build and have bought a Harry Main frame because I fell in love with the colour! (Jet fuel green)
I did not want to do what i normally do and order everything off the internet, instead i thought i would buy from my local BMX shop and give them my business. I was not impressed at all, the man in the shop put me off straight away by not even acknowledging me and just staring with hios roll up fag in mouth almost like "what are you doing here" look, i eventually got some sort of interest and was basically told that it would be too expensive to build a BMX and that my frame was rubbish and that i should get rid of it and buy a complete bike from him!
Not impressed at all! I don't know a lot about BMX's and being new to this it put me off big time. Any way I threw the idea of buying local out of the window and contacted Source BMX and Dead sailor bmx. 20 minutes and £850 later i have all the parts ordered, with proper advise and definitely from people who ride themselves and love what they do not just owning a shop for sake of it. Really happy with the advise and would highly recommend them. Proper people!
