Got another two boot fair bargain's at the weekend, ones a new school DK, the others a black and yellow Universal with copy parts on it - copy CW bars, copy mushroom grips, copy suntour stem  :wtf:

I'll try and get a pic sorted but, in the meantime, anyone heard of these rare beauties before, they're made in Rayleigh, Essex apparently?  :)

brass monkey!:
Universal Bikes have a distribution warehouse in Basildon, on the BAS-VEGAS site, I pass it every day on the way to the Visteon offices (That great Automotive Supplier, who haven't made a penny in 5 years !! and you've probably never heard of !)

Maybe I should have a butchers in the Universal Skips to see if they have any 'copy' BMX bits !  :LolLolLolLol:

theRuler:
universal bikes are mostly shite - toys r us stuff

maybe source one or 2 good bits off one though.

 :-\

So all my pikey boot fair mornings have earned me:

A Hammerhead Toys r us shiteheap and A Universal Toys r us shiteheap, damn!!

The £8.00 skyway tuff burner was alreet though, although the price was a bit steep  :LolLolLolLol:

theRuler:
the shiteheap bikes often have usable generic 48 spoke alloys though

and if they are 1" headsets, then you have some headset cups to reuse.
