CLASSIC BMX SENTENCED TO DEATH

(1/5) > >>

Timmeh:
'I was doing my recycling' said Timmeh, 'and I saw this chrome f&f, a bit rusty but salvagable in the skip'.
It had straight GT bars, original Blue Mushroom grips, Suntour power stem and a one-piece crank with spider.  AND one of those old 'Mushroom ODI' stickers.  It had a pierced top tube where the seat tube ran up; all tidy welding and one of those headset 'dust skirts'.
Yes, I asked: 'Don't commit that BMX hero to a fate of recyclement- save it so that others may marvel at its beauty'.
'No' was the reply, 'company policy says not even a screw can leave the compound'.
I protested 'it's a classic, it needs saving.  I don't want a screw, just the F&F'.

It's still there, on death row, let us hope it fins a cool 360 air and daily rock-walks in BMX heaven.

you will find it will go to a massive collection area for crushing and sorting.
if you can find the place its going to you could be in luck.most council run tips
now dont let stuff go as you might fall of said bike and take the council to court
which has already happened.norfolk are ok at the moment but suffolk say NO

FuNMoNsTeR:
friggin lunacy.... Our tax £££ pay for these Council waste places too... You think they would be happy to let someone take stuff to re-use it... South Yorkshire says no too... even when bribed with money and beer  :angel:
