Some mks graphites on the bay , bit rich at £120

I'm Northern and very tight 

£12 would be a bit rich for me.

I'm a poor single Dad

Spent about ten years carefully collecting the bits I need to make my ride from when I was a kid. Got 99% of it all now ready to build......except the forks...pretty important part!
Pro class forks - impossible to find. 

Think Im going to build it up with SG or Team forks instead and wait out until they pop up on the bay...

Always wanted a Mongoose Pro Class or I'd love a Pro Class crank.

Took me 18 months to find an MRD Badlander frameset but it was worth the wait. Best oldschool geometry ever made that bike.

I also wanted a ProClass in 1983 so I scratched that itch and had two of them in the end. Awesome bike - took me about 6mths to finish and about 6 seconds to have to sell it when I got a quite large £1k speeding fine..... ;-(

For me its Laser Bars, Elina ET Seat, Elina Turbo Aero Seat, NOS Haro Group1 complete, few other bits for collection wise.

HA HA How fast do you have to go to get a £1000 speeding fine??

[Spen69]

It's the maximum they can impose without a ban. I also ended up with the extra point for attending court so have been running 13 points for over 2 years now. Worst was my Solicitor charged me £500+vat as well so an expensive day.

Judge called me a "Serial offender" as i've had 37 points and been to court twice so used 2 of my 4 lives up already..... But when you drive 50k + miles a year like I have for the last 20+ years you need your licence and the law of averages says you'll get caught. Always on the motorway and always late for meetings or rail possessions so at least i'm sensible in urban areas, but who doesn't do 80-85mph on the motorway? Just put it down to a hazzard of my job.....

original gen 2 Vincent freestyler  they're like a fookin dodo though 

[sparky]

I've just waited 2 weeks to get hold of a DC890 in Blue, that was long enough because I'm an impatient old fool. 

[pickle]

i seem to have lost any itch that needs scratching of late, got my nice new school ride, got the three 88 beats i wanted...........very slowly putting them together along with a 86/87 as well...........who knows, once MK13 is out of the way they can all go and pay for a nice holiday to skegness for a few days 

[Spen69]

Well at least you'll be able to come to few ramp nights on the way to Skeggy Rob.....

Forgot it took me about 4months of badgering the owner of Knightbikes to sell me his RetroGoose....... Poor bugger gave in eventually, and now I ride it everywhere...... And have another on the way!  ;-)
