This be a good one. :)
What genuine BMX bikes you come across, e.g Wandered across a Garage Sale or Boot Fair.
Not what you have paid shed loads for, but genuine finds.
List the following:
1) Model
2) Price Paid
3) Where found
4) Picture in found condtion would be good, also present condition.
Cheers :daumenhoch:

my best was this quadangle.
bought another set of tuffs off ebay for £60 as the lad was local. asked him if he had anymore bits about and he said he had his old frame but was'nt sure if it was worth putting on ebay. i went to have a look and came back with a 83 quad unstamped landing gear tuf neck stem dc mx1000 rickman freestyle bars and a few more good bits for £35.oh yeah and the tuffs i bought had comp 2's on lol.

You're better off getting some flyers printed off and prepping them in with your households. That way every single one of your customers will know you're on the lookout for old bikes.
I've often thought about doing it. :coolsmiley:

Here's another find :LolLolLolLol:
A Halfords Turbo, cost nothing and you can see why. :-[ :-[

A friend of mine pulled a loopy PK Ripper out of a skip that was on the driveway of an old friends house. He was driving past and saw his old mates dad clearing out his garage so stopped to say hello. To his amazement he saw the ass end of the PK in the skip and asked if he could have it, the dad said yes. Anyway he got it home and after looking more closely at it realised it was his old bike that he sold to his old friend for a quarter of smoke back in the day!!!!!!!!!!
If that wernt enough the lucky f*cker was at a boot sale with his wife last year and bought a bmx that ended up being a Kuahara KZ 1 frame with Firebird freestler forks and ladder bars on it!!!!! Ive never found anything, hahahah. Maybe one day.
-
Mate found a nice Raleigh Burner Team Aero Pro also, sold on ebay for £500 a few year back
I had a couple of others, not sure where the pics are though

that halfords turbo is real nice love that

was given this JMC DY........
Found it like this
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/c51/baldbmxer/JMC1.jpg)
Sadly its pretty rotten but will make a nice show bike.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/c51/baldbmxer/DSC01466.jpg)
Bottema race forks have been replaced with JMC JY forks now. The Dy forks and DY bars came off an 84' GT on eBay for £99,
complete. Kept the bars and forks and hauked everything else!
Frame is waiting to be re painted, forks and bars are lookin' bling with fresh chrome :)
Hopefully it will be done for MK10

i bought a full bike off ebay a few years ago..
JMC darrell young, with andy patterson forks, and an odd selection of other parts, including a OPC, homemade pedals, cut down renthal bars..rattle canned white...but did have a mint original padset
gave 400 quid for it.
stripped it down, sourced some nice bits for it, inclduign some pro class wheels, some gen 1 profile box cranks from the states with the help of radman, some Dy bars, again with the help of the ginger prince....
had it powdered silver, just to be a bit different, and built it up...its been fine tuned once with a NOS profile spider in blue to complete the cranks set.
its obvioulsy not an original colour, but i like it all the more for that... a labour of love for an iconic bike, that i made my own

Ive just been told by my father in law that the Ammaco 202 complete that has sat in his shed for the last 20 odd years (it was my brother in laws as a kid), was taken to the tip last weekend.
Gutted as I always meant to dig it out, but was buried at the back and I just couldnt be arsed. It was complete in need of full resto, and had red aero zytecs.
If anyone lives near Rufford, it went in the metal skip at the 'recycling centre' last weekend.

A Chrome 85 Master
A Green 85 Master
A Green 86 Master
All complete
All came from the same house where they had been sat for the last 10 years. The guy I got them off had been to Shiners with a few mates (one who owned a bike shop) and they had all brought stuff to make bikes.
All 3 were built with high end NOS bits, all 3 had Blue MX1000's with tech 3s. One had original 80's plastic hubbed tuffs, one had Black Arayas and the other Blue Speedlines. All 3 had Blue haro Tyres
I only have pics of them in bits :(
I paid that little I still feel guilty now :D and to top it all off, the guy I got them off kept phoning me and telling me when his mates were selling theirs.
I think I had about 10 bikes through this guy, all Haros

Found this Haro F&F in a bike shop hanging on the wall a few years ago - paid a reasonable price for it and it's still one of the cheaper frames I've bought, which I suppose means I haven't found that many good bargains. It was a thrill to find nonetheless.

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...

Boot fair last year, as me and the misses entered I say "If I see a chrome BMX today I'm having it" to which she replies "You won't find one here babe" 3 stall in I see a GT performer, very rusty and looking sorry for it's self, a deal was done and I handed over a crisp £20 note.. The rebirth into BMX started there and then, I rode that f@@ker home about 4 miles :LolLolLolLol:
