Is the BMX OS bubble beginning to burst or are people worried about spending?
Why isnt this working:
Might aswell put my pennys worth in.
It seems to me that prices have gone up more so for smaller components. I mean £100 for a kashi, £250 for 1000's its just ridiculous and such a shame as its pushing so many people i know away from old school builds. Also noticed how much frame and fork sets fluctuate in price from time to time. Ive seen good loopy PK's at the moment going for as little as £220 !!. Rewind 2 years ago and it would be double that plus. I would tend to agree with people who think its to do with the globel econemy situation, with such uncertanty surrouding it your not going to be chuckin dough at your bmx hobby and definatly not whilst prices are as bonkers as what they are now!.

i got back into bmx due to raleigh reissuing the tap, but when i got it realised how crap the the parts were. in my mind i was picturing the original with mx1000, kashimax aero, tange grips. i decided to strip it get argos cycles of bristol to custom spray it black/white tange grips(in white £35) black mx1000 on the front with blk tec3(£90) white mx1000 on the back (£110) blk kashimax aero (120) and acs z wheels with comp 3 tyres(£250) dia comp seat clamp (£40) and the original cost the bike £300 it does not take long to realise that spending has gone out of control, but i had a image of how the original looked, thats what i built and thats the prices i paid. it is called supply and demand. on top of that there was the stem,pad set,bars, seat post,pedals,b&b, chain ring,arms, and due to chopping and changingbits and bobs , my build has just set me back £1650.if you want to see it it,s on burner world,s images, sparkys tap2007.
