Title: Hello all...
Post by: Calorrado on August 21, 2016, 09:01 PM

i All

Well it's been 28 years since I parted with my first proper bmx a chrome Scorpion ZX300 and 9 years since I have built a bmx from scratch but I'm gonna have another go.  The last one was the Skyway Streetbeat below which I stupidly sold on.
Currently running a 1999 Mongoose SGX 24" cruiser which I love to bits and have a few retro mtb's one to use and the others for show.
Anyway I have just purchased a Cyclecraft 24" cruiser frame and forks so am now on the hunt for some period parts to build up.
Couple of pics for you...

Cheers deeman, yes the frame and forks are like new, I've had a nose through the sale section and eBay, didn't realise the prices have shot up dramatically since my last build.

 :welcome to  :radbmxsmilie: ! Have fun with your new build mate. Yeah, sometimes people ask silly money for parts on e-bay.
But some parts get rarer, what sometimes causes higher prices than some years ago. 
Here you may find all you need -  parts, good prices, nice lads, help etc. Enjoy the site!  :daumenhoch:
