Can you remember when..............

That Swan Guy:
........trawling through ebay and having a choice of quality bikes/frame sets to choose from. Now it just seems to be full of crap on an immense scale!

Everybody thinking their POS bike is their retirement fund.

I miss the days of NOS Haro Group 1 for less than a ton. NOS DC MX brakes for £30. Finding that gem badly listed.

 "nono"

CustardLips:
I agree... it was great before the fakebook boom. ???

Not really
By 2010 when I got back into it a lot of the bargains had gone - but it's better than pissing it all away in the pub*
I blame all the hoarders and greedy bastards with storage units full of bikes  :LolLolLolLol:
That said, it's not impossible to build a bike for reasonable money if you're not an impatient twat









* although some people do that as well  :teef:

Waxintaxin:
lol
i remember the good ol days
i walked round shiners and picked up some lovely bits for fook all
comp 3s for a tenner each , MX1000 sets for 12.50 and some landing gear in the box chrome for 20 quid
i also remeber the bikes shops that would give you stuff for free
lol not anymore
but thats life i guess

Unfortunately I never had the luck to witness those days. When I came in a year ago, all prices were already pretty high - compared to what I've been told how prices used to be years ago.
To me it's like watching the grass growing, as prices seem to get higher every month nowadays.  :-\

It must be pretty frustrating to all who were able to enjoy those days when prices were way lower. Having said that, I'm so happy that still so many great people are in the game.  :daumenhoch:
My hats off to everyone who's trying to escape from that upward spiral - not playing that game and still selling stuff for decent money.  :coolsmiley:
