As daft as it sounds back then there was only a very small market for old BMX parts, Retrogeezer had a few items, as did Andy Mcnulty, DingoBMXer, Stuntmaster and a few others. lots went on ebay and went stateside.
Max from Gumball took the graphites, I traded most of it with Alan woods as there were some things he had that I wanted, I still have some stuff in the loft. it took two estate car loads to shift it.

I have some photos of some of it on another computer so will have to post some pics.

I hung on to the graphites untill it went mad  :daumenhoch:

Stuntmaster was around back then and we traded quite a bit of stuff with each other, Andy Mc did get unpainted DP freestylers for £2.50each, in the end we got bored of them as no one wanted them. we also got two DP freesyle minis. wish I kept those.

Back then as no one wanted most of the stuff prices were very low, so it was a hobby just for a few regular faces, if you could swap a part for somthing you needed you were happy, I sold a lot on ebay but for like £4.50 for a set of MKS pedals, never was going to make a fortune but getting the bikes built was more important. the first ever OLd School meet there was seven of us there racing plus another seven bringing bikes.

I still have the Curtis Freestyler and the Rickman Freestyler....still NOS and never built.   :daumenhoch:

I think I gave you £80 for the Curtis and £60 for the Rickman...   :knuppel2:   :LolLolLolLol:

Picked up a PK Ripper frame with LG forks for a tenner and a complete TA for £25 back in the early days...

Oh yeh, and a very early (feb 84) non stamped GT Performer with tuffs etc for £50.

I suppose you could say the £250 I paid for my VDC pit bike was cheap too...
