.....and did I see a woman in there too........
haha i already had the woman
my wife was a previous "score"
-
how did u fit her in the boot.....
-
she came with me for the drive
she really likes the look of the "white bike" and asked for me to build it up for her to ride!
-
Nice range of stuff - I remember those bars, the bend was meant to provide you with a bit more leverage and power. (Lovin' the avatar by the way - is it Dominguez when he rode for DB?)

Never saw those mags before, I'm thinking RARE!
-
yep ober its one of them alright. with the original forks ???
and laz i never saw those mags before either. i recall the 5 spoke ones.
i dont know what age they may be. the guy i got them off said they were on the redline when he got it (not from new)
he also gave me a really old stem. got 2 clamps on top. i think its a mongoose stem!
-
Nice score Ruler, I seem to remember those mags from the early days at around the same time as Tuff 1`s, but I havn`t seen any lately 8)
-
Some guy from Australia has just put some of those ACS mags on the bay I noticed yesterday. Prob worth watching to see how much they go for ;)
-
Nice score with the redline 8)
-

the frame is inches shorter when stood next to the faze-7 frame.
