Your first purchase?
« on: January 10, 2008, 06:24 PM »
So.... when you discovered that the OS BMX scene was alive and kicking.... what did you buy/build first?
For me it was this GT Pro which i bought from Germany for 279 Euros.... Bargain  :smitten:
 It came with white Hutch mags which i quickly removed and burnt..... and the frame was black powdercoated.... the rest of the spec was as you see it.... I just stripped the frame....added front and rear NOS Blue DC MX1000s bought from Alans for £34.99 the pair  :D  A'me Tris, an Elina Flight Tech seat and Proclass wheels  :coolsmiley:

This thread on those prices are depressing. I've been into this for just over 4 years now and I remember buying an nos gold mx1000 with tech 2 and yellow dc cable for £23 delivered thinking it was dear. Yellow kashimax aero for £16. Elina lighning bolt for £20. Didn't buy a camo SE pad from skatepool for £20 as I thought it was pricey. Got red mx1000's from cyclesport for £6.50 each though....anyway that's for another thread.

this master f&f was my first purchase,  xmas 2003 - can't remember how much, somewhere around  Â£150 - £175 I'm guessing, not that much of a bargain.

er, still waiting for delivery of my first 'proper' project bike, a zeronine. I've been restoing bikes for mates but this will be my first bike for me.

I've got a 'last us built' floval and PK but don't count them as i've had them pretty much continually.

So Marty, those cranks are wrong on that GT fella, wanna trade for a lovely 165mm OPC?

1st one I bought was this Pro-Lite at a boot sale for £12....please excuse the photo, digital cameras were not that good in 1999/2000 (at least not the one I could afford)

bought a loop pk off ebay in summer 2003,  didn't finish it as got distracted with other builds since then, just used to look at it every so often  :LolLolLolLol:


thinking about it, parcelfarce nearly f*cked that up also, as took 3 months to deliver it and charged me £60 odd in custums, fines and the like  :2gunsfiring_v1:


sold it to MonkeyBiscuits a couple of years ago (who bought it cheaper than i paid for it in 2003  :knuppel2:)
