What di u do with your bike bitd?

[moley]

Falcon Pro Theta with Tange Forks.   The originals were fooked when I went head to head with a car and lost.   Flogged it for £40.

Quadangle F+F bought of a dodgy bloke and then built up, ridden for an year and then sold to another dodgy bloke for a ZX Spectrum + Games.

That must have been early/mid 1985.

Not had a BMX until late last year when I bought a Quad Freestyler.

[funkyfresh]

My list starts with a Burner (rah!) - An Ultra Burner in Silver n Blue. Bent the 7x's within a week, but fortunately it got stolen.
Got £135 insurance for it, bought a Panasonic ghetto blaster. tried to breakdance but realised I was crap at it.
Burner was found by Police, so i got that back...and kept insurance money 

Saved up £55 (1 kidney in old money) to buy some blue Tuffs (still got them)

Sold the whole lot (less wheels) to buy a Tamiya RC car....what a mug!

Got back into BMX a year or so ago....now broke, reading rad late at night and alienating my girlfriend in the process...

but loving every minute of it

[Tefore]

i then hada torker 280x with tuffs etc sold that for £60 to insure my yamaha rd50mx.WTF

And rad 

[aerostylie]

Only had 1 bike between 82-87....Halfords Turbo!! (but I did put on some CWs, shimano DXs, mushies, aeroyal, whitewalls).

Me dad took that and my Raleigh chopper to his workplace so the lads could get around the car factory

I must admit I wasn't fussed at the time, I thought I was too grown up to be riding kiddies bikes at 17!!

[Lee Shurey]

Gave my Mongoose Pro class to the poor kid next door some fooker beat the shit out of him and nicked it 

Then my dad (God Bless Him) took a grinder to a VDC frame that was stuck in the back of the shed as his mate needed some tubing   

Jesus Lee, that's way worse than my Dad selling my Hutch pedals, do you still talk to your old man 

What part of God Bless Him  did ya not get nic

[CD17]

I had a Silver Fox, can't remember what happened to that 

Then I brought a DP Freestyler, swopped it for a PK Ripper Frame & brought some LGs

Then I swapped the PK for a Haro Freestyler at Rom, now I really can't remember what I done with this, when I got a Skyway TA off Chris Young, which I built up just like this......



Then swapped it for a Sony Walkman when I stopped riding 

[The Burner King]

I had a mark one blue burner (non tuffs) which i got christmas eve from Halfords with an insurance cheque from my grifter being stolen. Wanted the tuff version, but were sold out.

had that 2 years, before it got nicked, By that time it was sprayed gold with all black bits.

Then had a team burner in summer of 1985, the Andy Ruffell team special version, wanted the Team pro but parents couldn't afford it.

Made it look like the team pro at first, then customised it a bit.

Sold it for £50 to buy a pair of "Levi 501's in black" in the summer of 1987.

[jonpaul11]

Cro-Mo Burner - gave to my sister then sold around 15 years ago for £30
Last true OS rider was a MRD, checked up my mum's shed last time I was there... need to get it back up and running.
Schwinn XS-1 - left at the tip
Hoffman Flash XL - sold for £50

Christmas 82 Falcon with decent bits swapped all the decent bits and rattle can sprayed it    ( Bikers ,KD racing Darwen )


Spent most of 83 saving up spending money and buying parts from different shops when either on holiday or out
Dx's from Sale cycles
Mx1000's some bike shop in Douglas Isle of man
Tuff II's with plakky front hub from Surrey BMX this is November 83 remember alot of people think plakky hubs were late 84 to 85
GT standard Nora frame and forks Surrey BMX

Built the GT up for Xmas 83
Swapped all the best bits I'd saved all year for eventually by 85

Then snapped the forks and swapped frame for Kuwahara Nova frame and  forks 

Then 85 to 86 swapped for Firebird freestyler in white and lavender tuffs
which I sold complete bike for £15 to my cousin who never ever used it  sometime 86/87

86 bought a Powell Lance Mountain board ,then a Danny Webster board only skated for about 12 months  till I left school in 87


Started going out 

[lazyboy]

sold it for 80 quid,and got pissed....result

[dj_benice]

Why ?

Dunno why/how anything happens in my head Nick it just  does 

[brass monkey!]

most of my OS bikes were bags o sh!te !

we buried my old Pro Star in the garden when it was landscaped, i thinks it's probably still applying balast to the rockery at our old house !! 

my only decent bike: a Redline 500a, GT Pro's, DX's, Red Tuffs etc was sold for £40 in 1986 to fund booze n narcotics !     

[ripper]

My bitd virgin was a red burner for xmas....the majority remember how rubbish they were but I absolutely loved and cherished that red bike at the time and it formed a great platform from which to upgrade, lets face it, it could'nt get any worse!!

I changed every last part on that burner to include black tuffs, robo pro bars, uni turbo, DX's, I even had the f&f chromed through a local bike shop.  I remember it took that long for the frame to be returned to me that the local bike shop took pity and loaned me a second hand Jag from their shop, so when I did eventually get my frame back not only was it an anti climax but it was like riding a tank.  Not too long afterwards I got a brand fire new bull burnished looptail ripper which I still proudly own to this day.

God only knows what happend to that Burner frame...but hey, who really gives a cack, i've still got my bitd Looptail !!

[JT Smooth]

Traded my last bike in at whiteheads for £40 towards a shitte mountain bike!

It was a redline with 400's, xcIIs, redline, stem, bars. If only i'd worked for
an extra week for the £40 I was short and stuffed the redline in the attic!

Still gutted and will be for a while yet 

[thebigdog]

My 85 GT got robbed from the side of my house 

I got a Gen 1 Master with a craked Z Rim of a mate really cheap, robbed the yellow Skyways of my little sisters Tuff Burner and painted my Haro yellow and Black. I had that for a year or so and saved up every penny I had to get an 87 GT Pro Freestyle Team.

The last time I remember riding my Haro it had a Tizer bottle strapped to the bars and the top tube and me and a load of mates were jumping it in to a canal. (we did not want to get our good bikes wet  )

I think the GT got swapped for some magic beans and a night out at the Hacienda
