I was on the tube with trill and dave chin, going to Wandsworth roundabout with our nu skool bikes to ride some street just before xmas.

This woman opposite said they are nice bikes, my sons about your age he used to ride one as a kid in the 80's, its still in my shed!

She said give me some names of bikes i'll see if i can remember, GT, PK Ripper, Skyway - Skyway thats it! Luckily Trill and dave dont collect bikes so i got her number and finally went there on wednesday. She was well chuffed with £40 as well

I was hoping it would be a survivor that i could keep as is , because i regret restoring Erol Mccleans race Skyway Ta now, as it was the first oldskool BMX i picked up 5 years ago that got me back into it

its got DX's, grabber seat, pro neck stem, non original forks, bike lock! the guy who owned it was called nic crosling, anyone remember him?

Nice - do you know what make the fork's are? Are the bars GT?

dirtyvans · « **Reply #13 on:** February 23, 2007, 07:36 PM »

duno what the forks are, they look quite cool though - will have a closer looksy,

bars are GT, my favourite oldskool bars after powerlights

I'd love to know how much juicy stuff is still out there sat in peoples sheds. Makes life so much more interesting doesn't it.

Wayne Ryder · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2007, 08:24 PM »

Yep, somewhere in my home town there's a couple of GT Performers. One used to be mine and the other changed hands numerous times. Like old college mates, I often wonder what happened to them.
BIKES REUNITED!
Can I copyright that?

hi bud,what condition is the grabber seat in and would you want to sell it, and how much are you asking ?
wish i could come across a find like that

dirtyvans · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2007, 08:37 PM »

soz dont wanna sell the seat

it was jammy benig approached on the train, my nu skool bike had a nice blue araya aero on the front and sky blue paint and polished bits, so looked a bit oldskool - might be worth adding a 'wanted oldbmx's' sticker to it

gary4130 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 23, 2007, 08:55 PM »

no probs just thought i would ask, can't wait to see the ta fully restored

CD17 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 23, 2007, 08:59 PM »

There's been a bit of a mistake..bloody woman. That mother of mine has no right giving away my old bike. I told her I'd get around to clearing out the shed this summer. I intended to restore it soon. Please send it back to me..

I actually missed a trick when Rich collected it. He came to Charlton that night after collecting it and told me about it. I should have made a couple of calls and kept him riding / talking at the ramp as it was outside in his truck all evening...
