Newbie saying hello, and wants his old bike back!!

[Fevster]

Hi guys, quick intro, name is Chris, live in Essex and I'm 38. That makes me proper old school, and oh, how I miss those days! Heroes back then, Bob Haro, Eddie Fiola, Glyn Lewis etc, remember it all so well! Sold my dream bike for £40 in the early nineties, a mk2 DP Firebird Freestyler and have kicked myself ever since. It was my 12th birthday present in 1985 and I really cant believe I sold it so that I could buy a new motor for my tamiya rc car! I desperately want to build one again to the same spec, with white tuffs etc. Has anybody out there got a frame set, or just a frame they wish to part with? I would be prepared to buy a complete bike if I had to, but a frame set would suit me better as I could build my own bike rather than strip someone elses. Don't care if its rusty, bent, dented, I will be restoring it anyway. Come on guys, help me get back to my BMX roots before my body gives up, I reckon I've got a few framestands left in me! Cheers!

Thanks very much for the warm welcome, and Brettypeeps, that is a beautiful bike. Looking at that, I was 12 years old all over again! Nearly chewed half my fist off wanting my bike back!
