Too Much/Rare To Ride

(1/6) > >>

Rrpr GO!:
When Do You Consider A Bike Or Its Parts Are Too Rare To Ride?...Or When A Build Has Become Too Expensive To Ride? Its Sort Of Sad That They Are No Longer Riders But On The Other Hand They Have Almost Become Works Of Art. A Preservation Of BMX History For Future Generations To Admire In Person Rather Than Just A Photo Of An Old Magazine Or Catalog.

I say ride the f@@kers like its 1983 again!!!

I think all bikes can be rode including show bikes ,because the biggest majority of builds are "restored " riders already  :daumenhoch:

So they can be repainted and re decaled once again to be mint  :coolsmiley:

However I don't think riding a full on show bike  with the perishable components on is a good idea
This is where survivor parts or repro items Are a wise idea to be used and swapped  over
Riding with Rare or NOS Tyres ,Grips  or and sometimes seats  is unnecessary and pretty foolish
Even if you can afford to replace them ,your ruining one more original  :crazy2:
Any other part that is metal wheels stem bars posts calipers etc aren't in danger of ending up in the bin   :)
