After 2 Years the 20"" JMC Collection is complete !! A labour of love

[jon016847]

In April 2004 I set out to collect one of each of the 20" JMC frame models. Examples show are the post 1982 style with the round down tube.  I dedicate this collection to the great man Jim Melton, thanks so much to everyone who has helped me along the way !!!  Too many to list, but special thanks to Don Moor who let me purchase his rare JR Mini,  Mr Radman , who parted with a set of AP bars,  all polishing / re-chroming work / painting taken care of by Biagio - great job !!,   Just....Me....Chillin  (os bmx)  for his amazing knowledge . Matt for trading his AP)

Many of these pics have been show along the way, but this is the first time, the whole collection has been shown together !!   -= Sadley they will be relocating to a new home soon (They are not being sold, but a friend who has a very large property is letting me use a spare room to house the collection,  my 2 bed appartment is just not big enough"!)

All builds are a mixture of NOS / prefessionally restored f&f and parts - Where nos is listed it applies to the Frame and fork. allparts are a mix of nos / refurbished

I also purchased Jims reminaing stock of NOS jmc rub on decals,so most have NOS decals, rather than his repro ones.

1984 NOS Mini





1982 Justin Roos Mini - only 54 made

Hi Jon

Congratulations they look amazing, words fail me!

Now that the big exspense is out of the way and the collection is complete, if possible i'd save up and get a professional photo shoot done and even ask JM if he would come over the pond and be in some of the photographs.

You could send a return ticket for little money, put him up, show him the full collection and maybe even get a speed typist / short hand writer to get down all of your comments, and also his responses about the bikes, how they where built, the history on each one, who rode them etc etc.

That would be a memory for ever and a moment that could never be repeated, you could maybe even get some articles into magazines and a chapter in a book, or a whole book written. I for one would love to know more about each bike and their history.

An outstanding collection and real class.
