It's him for sure, pumerend in holland. what are the chances of 2 old schoolers from pumerend? there is about 10 in the whole of the netherlands and only 3-4 who actually collect. pumerend is small, and out of the way. he is known to have a shit load of gear from being the first to pilfer all the bmx shops in holland, but after the sanderspeed episode i wouldn't trust anything he has. He might have an original, but these items are easily bootlegged/repopped. And after doing aerospeeds, it's not like he's unwilling to go to the effort. Could just be selling off some of his best gear, after all, he has some serious NOS bits and bobs. He was trading under a few names on ebay, i think his real name is sander taphoorn, but as he trades through girlfriends and relatives it's hard to know.

I have a friend who is 25.... he restored from scratch a T/A, Ripper and a Mongoose Cali. There is some young blood out there who love oldschool stuff too. BMX racing will be at this years Olympics.... exposing it once again to a worldwide audience of billions. How many middle aged ex bmxers will then re-discover the sport for them and their kids and want that 80s Ripper they always dreamed of? How big will the sport become in the future? Who knows.....
There are some serious American collectors and i believe there will always be a market in the US for OS BMX stuff.... they love history.

The same peeps who are spending now , dont end at 40, bmx will still be going strong(olympics) and u will always get peeps interested in where it started, its a part of history and will always be collectable, also i think you ed be suprised at how much of the youth love these o/s rides, obviously not as strong as n/s, but still nice to ride in the summer over the park . How much would a penny farthing fetch now :LolLolLolLol:
