Has anyone used vert ego for old skool bmx parts? Are they any good?
This seems to be the only place i can definetly get everything i need for my build but are they reliable?

I know a lot of peeps won't use him as he can be over priced but hey if he has everything you need
and want your build finished quickly then use him, but i'd first put the parts you are after in the wanted section
you never know you might get them a hell of a lot cheaper

sweetbeats · « **Reply #3 on:** December 27, 2008, 04:39 PM »

Can't knock him to be honest,
Ordered bits on a sunday seat and flex fighter arrived in no time (48 hrs)..if there is something your after but don't see it on the web or ebay give him a bell and he will probably have it or point you in the right direction,with regards alans heard many bad reports especially on delivery or knowing what they have in stock

I compared him to skatepool and didnt think he was to bad in comparison. I want nos parts and he has loads of stuff on my wish list. On account of me possibly buying a lot of stuff off him i was going to try my hand at a bit of haggling. What do you think?

mogsta · « **Reply #5 on:** December 27, 2008, 04:42 PM »

Iv'e mailed him about the stuff i want just waiting for a reply. we'll see what he says.

sweetbeats · « **Reply #6 on:** December 27, 2008, 04:44 PM »

Just bell him if you dont get a response

Looked at alans but he doesnt seem to have much old stuff available.

I'll give it a few days on account of the holidays then ring up. haggling on phone might be more fruitful.

Same happened to me the grifter he sold me turned out to be a strika

stu27 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 27, 2008, 05:09 PM »

he told me mine was NOS

Juju · « **Reply #15 on:** December 27, 2008, 06:34 PM »

sorry its a bit off topic, but if looking for nos parts, also worth a browse at retrospect.

I've bought a chain, post and brake calipers off the chap, doesnt overcharge on postage, wraps the stuff "really" well (my post and chain took me 10 mins to get into!) and sends the things out really really quickly.

We're quick enough to moan when shit doesnt get delivered, so a big well done to those who sites who do seem really good.

This isnt a "plug" I dont know the chap, but jsut a heads up that 3 out of 3 transactions, reet close to xmas, all went really well.

sweetbeats · « **Reply #16 on:** December 27, 2008, 06:38 PM »

Agree he is a good lad..he is on here cbrgil 10/10

mogsta · « **Reply #17 on:** December 27, 2008, 07:01 PM »

Retrospect eh? ill have to have a look see. cheers. I dont understand why you are all saying vert ego is expensive ive checked equivelents on ebay etc and they are aound the same money give or take. Cheers for all the pointers you guys!

mr.magoo · « **Reply #18 on:** December 27, 2008, 08:42 PM »

depends who the seller is on e-bay....he also sells on the bay under a few different names, good to compare against his own prices, sorry not taking the proverbial, just thought it was a funny thought

mogsta · « **Reply #19 on:** December 28, 2008, 09:22 AM »

Your right ill have to check that too, cheers Mr magoo ( no rhyme intented).

mr.magoo · « **Reply #20 on:** December 28, 2008, 01:58 PM »

theres been threads on here about it before, simplest was is do a search on the bay for old school, buy it now only, aero old school race pants are his and a host of other bits, if your not sure of his user name post on here, i've got one of his items i was watching, but just got back from racing, so will let you know that seller name later

bobafett · « **Reply #22 on:** January 15, 2009, 03:13 PM »

Yep, r-dog-gym is deffo vert-ego. As others have said - bit on the pricey side but if he's got it and you need it he delivers the goods no probs. Only thing that p!sses me off is that he doesn't update his own site anymore so you don't know what he's got in

burner gx · « **Reply #23 on:** January 15, 2009, 03:56 PM »

ive used mark retrospectbmx.com for repo pads and cables. his site is pretty good and he was a top bloke to deal with

Vertego is Biagio
I also Brought my VW camper off him as well, nice guy.
He often comes to our monthly VW meets
