Ever sold something you wish you hadn't?
« on: January 23, 2007, 07:40 PM »
What bikes/parts has everyone sold and later regretted?  Here's some pics of my '86 DB Harry Leary Turbo which I took in 2000.  I sold the bike that year for £150 to Chris Warburton, who has since sold it to someone else. Wonder what I could have got for it now?  Maybe £160?  :laugh:  Never mind, I've still got the original black suede-type Kashimax seat, so at least I've got something to start me off on building another one!  :2funny:

about 2 years ago I had a big clear out of my shed, (after about 15 years of carrying boxes of bike crap from one house to another). A mate had sold some BMX parts to someone for a large amount so I called up the guy and he came round. He took my Hutch Aerospeed cranks, some Leary Turbo cranks and some other parts, for money that I was happy with at the time. A few months later I got tuned into Ebay, BMX collectors, and eventually radbmx, and found out just how much what I had was selling for. Oh, btw, the "guy" who came and bought the stuff from me was Biagio, and there was a picture of my parts on his web site saying "diamonds". Oooff!

i used to collect bmx's in the 80's  - i would buy up the ones off people who didnt ride anymore (99% of people)

by 91 i had sold/binned them all

includes:

prolite complete bike (i think that one got nicked though)
my fox 4styler (binned by my dad. thanks pops. you gonna get yours . . .)
haro gen 1 - sold as almost complete bike for 20 quid
numerous burners - binned
mongoose cali - sold for 15 quid
2 zappers - welded together to make a sidehack - didnt leave room for the cranks - left that at school
zapper cruiser - modified to make a giant scooter, then binned
heaps of parts - all binned by my dad when he "cleared the garage out"

i am sure there were more.
i remember having 10 complete bikes at one point, in around 1989
