Noooo!
« on: November 30, 2005, 02:35 PM »
How anoying is this!

One of the guys here at the office has just come back from lunch and said that they spotted a chrome bmx in a skip full of junk down on the industrial estate, I asked him what it was and he said it had a 'GT Performer' on the downtube and looked a bit like mine. I asked him if the tube at the back was flat or slanted and he said it was slanted.

Thing is, it's now too late for me to go and have a look, plus I have to be home asap this evening as we're moving house tomorrow and I won't be back here till Monday.

as I said, noooooooooo!

Just legged it down there and couldn't see it anywhere, turns out it's behind a small wall rusting away, I must have been about 10ft away!!!

I have it, dawn raid this morning yeilded a bike, not what I initially thought but may do for a winter ride.

Alas It's one of these, I think someone must have left it out in the sun too long.



ah well, it's got a nice front loading GT stem and heaviliy corroded dx pedals that might be worth a resto.

ahahahahhahaa

there was actually a BMX marketed that had bars like that
it was called a "hi-jinks" - a bike shop near my grandparents used to stock it, circa 1984
the brand name escapes me. could have been a puch or murray
