There's a kid up the road from me that I've seen now and then riding an early 80's GT race bike, flights and all - think it must have been his dads  :-\.  Never managed to stop and ask him though as I've always been in the car and not on a bike, one day though I might  :LolLolLolLol:.

I've seen a green Streetbeat in Southwick and two GT's on Brighton Seafront in the last few months.

I saw a Skyway T/A in a shop window in the North Laine some time back. Some guy with his kid in a pushchair stopped me as I was putting my Master f&f in the boot of my car in Hove a few weeks back too.

I was sat in a pub about a year ago, minding me own. When I watched with total amazement a guy push a minty mint Haro master into the bike shop opposite. (finished me pint) then went over for a look.

If I'd just not bothered I'd of saved me self well over a grand and a lot of heart ache missing stuff on the bay ;D

On my way to work there's a bike I see chained to a fence outside a block of flats, its there everyday and I dont think its ever moved. its hard to tell what it is as I go past it on the bus and you only catch a glimpse of it but it looks like a redline pl 20 I think!
It looks pretty rusty but I might go and stick a note on it to see if anyone owns it and wants rid

It must have been a weekend for it. On sat I was driving through the student part of Oxford and a kid, early 20s with a lip ring, cycled past me on a full on gusseted Mongoose with mongoose straight forks, black tuffs and CW bars. The bike was way shinny and looked in great nic but the seat was flag pole high and had a big sprung seat on it. I caught him up and stopped in the middle of the road (in the car) and shouted over to him "Mate, you wanna sell your bike?". He smiled and said No, and I had to drive on cos of the hold up I was causing. As we drove on my wife urged me to turn round and at least talk to him more and maybe give him my number. I turned round but he was nowhere to be seen.

Do you think its just people of radbmx, finding out were other members live and messing with them? If not, it sounds like something we should start doing!

I think your well within your rights to get a pair of bulk-croppers & take the Redline, to leave something like that outside in the elements is a crime  :(
