Title: How Many?
Post by: That Swan Guy on June 17, 2014, 07:01 PM
I am often asked in conversation how many BMXs I have.
I struggle at times to count and give an accurate answer first time, mainly because they are at different places.

So I have just had a proper count up.

18 Completes (16 OS 2 NS)
2 Frame & Forks

Scared me a little  :idiot2: :LolLolLolLol:

I know there are some out there with huge collections.

How many do you have & in what state of build are they?
Title: Re: How Many?

1 half built
1 frame and forks.

I've been having a clear out of the warehouse the other day and had a little count up. I sold around 15 frames/completes last year which brings it down to roughly...

12 70s SE's
9 nos SE's
8 other complete SE's
4 other 70s
And a fair others. Nothing beyond 86.

Had loads at one point but thinning out the collection & just keeping the stuff which actually means summat to me-

Flying Nana
Loopy Ripper
83 Quad
Techincolour Dream Sport

& last but not least survivor stock Piranha  :Great_Britain:

20's I have 2nr NS retros, 1nr 70's and 1nr 80's :coolsmiley:

22's I have my NS but the missus rides it, so does that actually count in an arguement as it's her's now :2funny:

This thread sounds like a confessional!!  ;D

I can't compete on the bike count, with only 2 completes and 1 nearly complete (see link to Laserlite build below) but like WINI, my crap is spread far and wide - more specifically across 3 continents and in 4 houses, only one of which is mine!!   :crazy2:
