Personally speaking I absolutely love seeing the show bikes............ but..........I need to use my posessions Bike's, Classic Cars, whatever, for me having a show bike would be a magnificent waste, I would ride it in the rain, mud or worse ;)
90% of my bikes are survivors they all have battle scars and history and I love them more for that, I can bring myself to eliminate the Nostalgia surrounded in those bruises and marks,that said if there knackered I dont buy them, I ve even rubbed re-pop decals to take the new edge off them in the past :idiot2:
My bikes are not big budget builds or exactly Era correct,yes I look at carefully at the parts and buy the best I can afford at the time, I dont recall as a lad having the big bling I see on some bikes, if I went for red grips or a red seat, I would come out of ALANS with blue or black stuff instead.... :LolLolLolLol:
My main passion are the frame sets, as long as I have the frames that mean something to me and my History in riding and racing bmx thats me Happy...all about Nostalgia for me
Happy days, there to enjoy what ever you prefer :smitten:

still, gonna stick with it & see how it ends up....

I used a mix of nos and good survivor parts when building these two up from survivor frame and forks. The end results, in my opinion, were exactly what i wanted in a bike that looked the part and was rideable. :D
;D
