Much like myself you will ignore this advice and 6 months from now have £1000 quids worth of brakes stashed in your garage, 5 frames in the loft, 4 in the garage and will be on first name terms with your postman ;)

Oops may be a bit late on that, I had some yellow skyways in the garage and as the wheels were shot even though i was going to try to restore them. I tried the Skyways and my mind changed so now to complement have a yellow saddle and grips.
With the brakes I was just going to go original but the levers are shot and will need replacing whilst flicking through ebay i found some mx1000's for £67 so thought should I get these or just replace like for like but don't know how that is veiwed as it's no longer original, but then neither are the wheels saddle and grips.

Since i got back into bmx's and ebay i ended up with with so much stuff which luckily mates have had off me leaving me with a Hoffman to knock about on and the Ammaco to restore, but the bug has hit and now I'm looking for my next project.
