What bikes/parts has everyone sold and later regretted? Here's some pics of my '86 DB Harry Leary Turbo which I took in 2000. I sold the bike that year for Â£150 to Chris Warburton, who has since sold it to someone else. Wonder what I could have got for it now? Maybe Â£160?

Never mind, I've still got the original black suede-type Kashimax seat, so at least I've got something to start me off on building another one!

about 2 years ago I had a big clear out of my shed, (after about 15 years of carrying boxes of bike crap from one house to another). A mate had sold some BMX parts to someone for a large amount so I called up the guy and he came round. He took my Hutch Aerospeed cranks, some Leary Turbo cranks and some other parts, for money that I was happy with at the time. A few months later I got tuned into Ebay, BMX collectors, and eventually radbmx, and found out just how much what I had was selling for. Oh, btw, the "guy" who came and bought the stuff from me was Biagio, and there was a picture of my parts on his web site saying "diamonds". Oooff!

Damn that Turbo is sweet,I'd have sold the old lady before selling that.

Otherwise I've pretty much kept everything,sold some stuff but nuthin serious like that Turbo.

I remember back in 2001 seeing it on one of the original os sites.. it was the first proper
pic i found of a hl turbo.

My Raleigh Sero Pro, the thing is I don't even remember what happened to it

When I moved down from London to Kent in 2000 I left a chrome Hutch TrickStar in the basement of the flat I rented.

i used to collect bmx's in the 80's - i would buy up the ones off people who didnt ride anymore (99% of people)

by 91 i had sold/binned them all

includes:

prolite complete bike (i think that one got nicked though)
my fox 4styler (binned by my dad. thanks pops. you gonna get yours . . .)
haro gen 1 - sold as almost complete bike for 20 quid
numerous burners - binned
mongoose cali - sold for 15 quid
2 zappers - welded together to make a sidehack - didnt leave room for the cranks - left that at school
zapper cruiser - modified to make a giant scooter, then binned
heaps of parts - all binned by my dad when he "cleared the garage out"

i am sure there were more.
i remember having 10 complete bikes at one point, in around 1989
