I recently came up with a way of tracking down old bmx stock and with our kid home from Japan for Christmas we spent a few days zipping around the north west checking out my theory.

The buzz and excitment of potentially unearthing dusty old parts that have not seen the light of day for 30 year was quite intoxicating. We didnt do much climbing around but there was a fair bit of rummaging through boxes and looking in outhouses. I can really appreciate why the two lads on American pickers really enjoy what they do.

3 days in and what's the outcome so far?

Well i wont be retiring any time soon but i did pick up a few nice bits, all nos. Hubs, grips, brake pads, seatclamps etc and i have quite a few leads still to follow up. One guy had a fookload of kids yes racing pants and tops and supposidly had a few curtis framesets and mk 1 raleigh chopper frames until a few years ago.

Ended up leaving a fair bit of stuff behind that was either too dear or i had no real need for. Nos fisbone turnpegs, odyssey new wave brake pads, cougar seat/post combos, the yes stuff, alsorts!

Met some really interesting people and heard more than few stories of gear going in skips or to the tip  :'(
One guy said he had been giving nos stuff away for years to anyone who asked him for it until he decided he needed shut and binned the rest  :shocked:

Ive got a few more days planned over the christmas period and will post owt interesting i turn up  :daumenhoch:

This lot was from one location  ;)
