No, it didn't belong to me. I was very tempted to place a last minute bid on it though. Like you, I contacted the guy after the auction as there were no bids, but I was too late as it had already sold. I'm glad it's gone to an enthusiast and not a splitter 8) I've got 10 mini for my 3year old, 10 20" BMXs and would like a 24" to add to the collection.
I had a Falcon Beta 24 as my 1st BMX when I was 10 years old. My parents thought I'd grow into it. Although I took it to bed with me every night :crazy2: I didn't have it long as I swapped it for a 2nd hand Mk1 Raleigh Night Burner that I raced back in 1986. Needless to say I didn't win any races :2funny:

Alright mate, Yeah I thought I could do with a 24 in my life... Missed the bid by a couple of mins but thought I would ask.. I suppose you could say that I am a splitter as I didn't buy it as a complete bike purely because I had a lot of nice parts to fit and I didn't want to end up with a shed load of parts building up . Still trying to get some wheels! As for sleeping with your Bmx , ha ha the things we did as kids huh! Just got a new seatpost but still waiting for my seat to arrive, will post ASAP .. Cheers for the post and your story , have a good one :)
