« on: December 06, 2008, 11:01 AM »
I bought one of those 2008 black n gold rippers from stodgy with the intention of putting it in the loft to keep. IT WONT FIT THRU THE LOFT DOOR!! Shall i build it and put it on display in the games room or keep it boxed and find somewhere to store it? i dont want its value to drop thats all as it will prob rise in value in the years to come. HELP!! :-\

I think your on a wrong un anyway with keeping it for financial reasons, i would doubt that in ten years these will be worth that much more than you paid. Save up and buy a nos Ripper from the eighties if you wanna make an investment  :daumenhoch:

Build the one you have and wait until summer, then ride the bugger  ;)

No chance of that becoming a timeless bmx classic...build and destroy and create BMX Mayhem in your town is my advice.
If you want collectable I agree with DB get a proper 80's one and stash it in grannys attic for a rainy day :daumenhoch:

build it and ride it :daumenhoch:


dont go thinking its going to be some collectable investment :LolLolLolLol:

its not.


if you want an investment go and buy yourself one of those "in-house" standard's, an s&m new dirtbike or a T1 and leave that in its box,


they'll be the collectable's in years to come :daumenhoch:

as the others here mate, these are not giong to appreciate in value, you might get £300 quid for it when you are 70 years old...
R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

Bikes are for riding. Not looking at for 50 years and grow so accustomed you can't sell.
