I sent him this this morning......

I've been collecting this stuff for over 20 years, my advice would be to let the auction run, it will be all over the bike forums soon and I also don't recognise the handle bars so maybe quite a rare set in themselves.....highly sought after/rare bars can fetch a monkey

Glad you saved it!

Week in the sun right there.....

How cool would that be to strip/clean/grease and ride.

Lovely looking bike, 80's freestyle at its best!

This should be interesting......Will boil down to how much someone is willing to pay for the bars and post. It's over it's money already imo. This will be one for the big players......

The whole OSBMX scene is all about the big players now Damo, unless you're happy with your repop parts, but even the price of some of those has gone silly. If I hadn't dropped out a few years ago, I would be dropping out now.

Be interesting if it goes the same way as the Ruffell Race Plate....

A well known member of the BMX community apparently, that claimed that he?d accidentally put an ?800 bid in and only wanted to submit an ?80 bid, even though the auction was already way past ?80 when the bid was placed.

Looks that way now Dan...i can't afford to get involved any more

I fully understand the rarity of space bars (and the post) but I just don't get it personally. Fugly things but likely to be 50% of the sale price. I can understand Action Zones as they are a good looking bar but each to their own I suppose. Great complete and proper time capsule though. Bet it ends up near ?2k. Time to get the popcorn out

Amazing looking thing.......I dream of finding bikes like that these days

Like the man said, strip it, grease it, ride it!

PROPER BO!

(2 great bikes popped up this week! (the curtis/pr cruiser))

Looks like it got taken down or ended early for a big price!!

Just noticed that myself.

I wouldn't mind betting that the frame/forks and other bits end up back on there soon. The bars and seat post will work out to be absolute bargains then.

I think you are correct. All of it in tiny pieces
