Me dad happened to mention to his mate that I was mucking about with old bmx bikes, his mate said got one in the back yard he can have it if you want it. So here it is

That was in may, here it is now.

Not bad for next to nowt

Nice stroke of luck - and nice tidy up too!

I see you've lucked out with an all chromoly frame as well, rather than the chromoly front triangle. Why does no one I know have an 'old BMX in the back garden/shed/garage'

Of of interest- what did you do with the original seat - dib dobs if you're selling
