I have just done a search on vintage cycle jumble. And there is loads of links. There looks like a big one soon in Manchester near the new BMX track.  :daumenhoch:

oldschoolace:
Yeah i've been to that jumble, its pretty big and suffers for it as alot of the big roady players turn up and few bargains are to be had  :'(

There are plenty of local/regional ones though on pub car parks/ church halls etc where you can get some good stuff and the odd bmx part too  :daumenhoch:

You just need to know what will crossover to bmx, hence this thread.

My mate own a shop in hebden bridge and has picked up a few gems from a local bike recycling centre. I had a look last time we met for a pint and its a racers goldmine but all they had bmx wise was a modern set of white skyways nailed to a wall for novelty value  ::)

kungfunky:
Like Sean said, hubs and cranks are the 2 main parts that can be used / converted. The hardest thing is dating them, unless you know the codes/stamps and the model you could be looking at something from the 50s /60's.
