MTB and BMX

[brakelate-ade]

nice one boys!!! the bikes look tops Jon, and nick get yours posted

Cant wait to finish mine off (this / next month ) then i can tear op the streets again

 

[brakelate-ade]

bmx is progressing...

decided against buying new forks, rubbed the origionals down and they look a treat.

2 weeks tops and i will have all the bits to finish it off YAY

I know it is vulgar to ask, but how much are these kiddy bikes worth?

 

[brakelate-ade]

fek all this one, but i like them for darting around. if however you look at some origional 80's ones like Mongoose, Haro, Skyway and even the Raleighs they will go for 500-800 quid dependant on parts, origionality and condition

 

[Phatgixer]

But they are for 10 year olds, surely? £800 on a toddlers bike with no gears?

dearest one i have is about 2200 in todays market...that being the VDC changa long...3rd pic down

several others at about 800-1000....

most people buy parts and build to spec...so the good stuff generall doesnt get sold as a full bike...a bike pretty much always values higher in pieces.

kuwahara et's fetch strong money...one of the guys for kasabian just gave 10k for one..it was brand new or NOS and not one of the repro's.

good investment if you know your stuff

10k... wow... they are a bit of history that you are buying, and it is more personal as its a bit of history we were all part of (apart from Angus as he has aways been old )

Arr, well, we can see the value, now. I mean, that one has front brake as well as rear...

£2,200. Bargain. Rolex submariner money. I can see that

me and several other middle aged loons regulary go on the booze cruise in manchester during the summer months...

start at victoria station and wobble through the city and its bars....have been chased though town by the old bill for pulling a wheelie in a crowded area....

tis a proper full blown mid life crisis.

dont knock it...your a specialist.

Bikes are a pain in the arse to store. Where the fecking hell do you store all those bikes Jon? Are they displayed or tucked away out of sight. If they're displayed I bet your missus loves your hobby....not!

Wholeheartedly agree with that!

errr, except I use big fast motorcycles and racing cars to stem the onset of decreptitude, not a feckin Raleigh Chipper..:finger

Or grifter if you was posh.

Chopper for the big lads.
