Hello old school types!
I must admit I'm more of a Mountainbiker (sponsored XC racer when I was younger) but have owned a good few BMXes in my time including a custom built (by yours truly) Hoffman Dirty130 - lovely bike! But!! enough about me - I have been clearing out the shed (trying to drum up a little extra cash) when I found a retro BMX that turns out to be a Schwinn Thrasher from 1983-4 (it's confused as has the number stamped on it of an 83 but the looks of an 84
) Can you advise on the value of this frame/fork/bar combo if any?
Unfortunately I noticed some cracks in the small gusset behind the headtube
- can you tell me if it's unsafe to ride/can be fixed/pointless to fix as it's safe? I can't see any other damage to the frame or welds around the headtube or signs of stress although it must have taken some force to crack the gusset
Also I have discovered that the pair of Aero Zytec mags are possibly worth something - the front one is really quite good condition apart from axle etc being rusty but smooth - the rear is however damaged so could people advise if it has any use/value any more as even the bearings feel a bit dodgy
Any advice asap much appreciated!
Cheers
