It's as simple as that. :daumenhoch:

I personally don't think that is the reason anymore Dan. I think people are fed up with paying used car prices for BMX parts and are not selling in case they need one for the future, and don't want to re-mortgage their house just to get one.
This in turn leads to hoarding. I personally don't see the point of hoarding but I guess if people don't, others will just buy it and hoard. You can't take it with you when you are gone :-\
Apart from the one bike I have to left to finish (just pads and plate), I am out of building for the long term future. I would rather spend these huge prices on my children, than a plastic seat that will be worthless when our generation gets bored of it all.

This is looking to be my last proper build as well, i may well upgrade little odds and sods, but cant really justify a grand+ for a full bike build thatll be ridden maybe a dozen times in that year
