Wow! Thank you so much for those links. Am very tempted to check out the first one you linked (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-BMX/254074354200?hash=item3b2802fa18:g:buoAAOSwy3JcFsQm:rk:48:pf:0) as it is only 40 miles away and, i just like the look of it, as well as warming to the idea of fitting a front brake myself (have signed up to complete a bike maintenance course that is happening in the town to be able to service and fix things myself when they inevitable brake). Nothing against the others as they all look awesome (and i have no idea what i am really looking for apart from 21"+ top bar length, cromo frame and double-walled rims, lol. All the others are, sadl a bit out of my juristriction as would involve driving along the m25 to view/collect and i have an allergy to that road (as i would rather scoop my eyes out with a spoon than drive along it, lol). Thanks again for the links, will have to buy you a beer if/when see you at one of the meets.
Impressive, it'll be a while before i get my arse on the back tyre, well inless i somehow slip off the pedals and land awkwardly, lol.Can't explain why but those Wethepeople bikes are starting to stand out to me but will have another good look through the ones linked last night. I was having a skive on work earlier and came across this one, am trying to work out how it is so much cheaper than so many others i have seen ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wethepeople-Reason-BMX-bike-FREE-delivery/202559519529I mean if there is nothing wrong with it and would suit the sort of thing i am looking for (a way of sugar coating being able to support a 16 stone chubby guy) that would give a fair chunk of money to change/upgrade parts (longer seat post and possibly a freecoasting hub - always wanted one of those when i was a kid) but the sceptic in me thinks there has to be something wrong with it being that price.
Oh btw i love an endo, so totally understand the need for a front brake!! it don't count unless there is tyre and arse contact!!!!
Ah Damo, that’s what you look like.
looks like you did o,k bro...a full chromo framed bike for £150??!! Thats bloody good going...you can upgrade parts later
That Hoffman looks a great start for £150 - nice bargain hunting! A brand new bike for s/hand money https://m.alansbmx.com/1627772/products/hoffman-2016-lady-luck-bike-red-with-free-stuff.aspx?oldid=1627772&mredirect=trueIf you win the WTP Trust let me know and I'll post you an AD caliper, lever and cable I have knocking around the bottom of my spares box
