Put yourself in my shoes, help needed please chaps.

(1/4) > >>

southern andy:
After twenty years out of the BMX scene, i have decided that next years project will be to reclaim an old school frame and forks and do it up slowly. Obviously time and money will reflect how quickly it will be achieved.

So, i'm after some info please chaps, if you were me and had pretty much forgotten everything you used to know, what would you be looking for bike wise ??

Diesel on here has given me a short list of frames to look for but i haven't heard of some of them.

I'm currently watching a Haro Group 1 F+F set from 1986 ?, although when i raced he only really made Freestylers that i can remember.
What i really want is a Diamond back or a GJS. I see one of the chaps on here is selling his Harry Leary, awsome bike, would love that but i don't think my Royal Mail bonus this year will spread that far and also the wife would pretty much rip my trick nuts off and ram them down my throat.
So guys, what should a beginner be looking for???????????????

Although if a full bike does come up that i could probably afford, i might be tempted to buy rather than build.


EDIT>>>> What does nos mean ??

motomagII:
plenty of lower budget bikes about or frames etc .i just built gt up at reasonable cost.look through the museum choose few fraes you like and then ask for rough price etc on here youll get plenty of help from everyone.

Mattdub:
NOS = New Old Stock .

A much incorrectly overused saying .

Diamond Back will be cheaper to build than GJS , most GJS are in the US & command high prices .

How about this its not a gjs I know but still very nice.

Sorry bof, i must of quit racing when this came out, i've never heard of a Free agent, (embarrassed look) although there is a light blue one on Flea bay that looks very nice for sale, about £75 but it now i think. Its in Hampshire aswell.
