Is the BMX OS bubble beginning to burst or are people worried about spending?

If you take Haro tyres as an example, 12 months ago you could get pretty much any colour from Vert-Ego, Skatepool, Rudewheels, Alans Rainers Etc Etc and they were all under £40 a pair  :daumenhoch:
12 months later you can get Green, Pink, Radberry and with a little extra work you might find some White  ??? If you want any other colour you got to wait for someone to sell on Ebay, Rad or some other forum.
Shiners were supplying all the shops above with Haro tyres and now they can not as they do not have any.

I can vouch for that, im in Shiners very week due to my job with Se bikes when i first started going im there in 2003 there were loads of Haro's Hutch's SE's F&F
Haro tyres and panaracer freestyle tyres in all colours. The only thing left regarding Haro's F&F is the odd paint damaged ones, no hutch's or SE's that they are
selling. Not so long ago they had loads of Haro Group 1's RS1 F&F there are none now. That also goes for the more common items that are sold on Radbmx
like stems, seatclamps, 901's, etc things are drying up and when it does prices will rise for nos stuff. You only have to look Vert-Ego, Skatepool, Rudewheels, Alans
there stock is running out, soon it will just be the crap stuff being sold.

Theres loads of Aero Reflex's left if anyone wants a cheap build, i think theres around 80 left  ;D ;D

haro master bikes,brand new, boxed £200 anyone? :LolLolLolLol:
back in the mid 90's folk used to give me old school bikes for free just to get rid of them! i bet theres a few on here that have come out of my loft :LolLolLolLol:

in the last 10/11 years prices have just gone up and up as more people get involved, like rich said, stuff is running out, people that build/resto bikes to w@nk about usually see them as their "work" so they keep them,

there are still great bargains to be had, just not whats currently trendy or seen as "classic" (ie mx's)
it actually forces people to be more creative in the parts they use, having stuff re-annodized etc,

we've even seen "retro" bmx's brought out to cater for those less choosey about their bikes "heritage"
its the way of the world unfortunately :-\

for me though, tbh, the only area of all this malarkey that still offers any kind of real excitement building and sourcing wise is the mid school and even thats on the rise :'(

pretty much ALL the old school bikes have been done to death, so much so that folk are getting desperate to find frames like the holeshot just because they havent been seen as much as the others! nothing to do with whether or not they were actually any good!

I Could Be Here For Day Listing The Expense
