A friend rang me a few weeks ago to say hed bought a bmx the booty where he lives in bath .

Paid Â£10.00 quid for it ! He has a small bit of knowledge about old school bikes so snapped it up quick.

Curtis Expert , in really good nick. Hes let me have it now (for a bit of work done on his van)

. Went to pick it up just recently and stayed the weekend, checked out the track there too (the tumps)

and had too check the booty again just incase. Some matey had a raleigh burner mk2 with added parts which he sold for Â£70.00 and 1 gold araya front wheel which i got for Â£1.00. Dont know what it is about that booty but he keeps getting bargains , the latest is a full Dianese upper body armour almost new Â£5.00. Is the area a hot spot for Curtis bikes, they were made close by?
Hope you enjoyed the pics, ive now stripped it and will give it a clean up

Oh anyone got any Curtis bars by the way.
