Oh yeah, forgot about that

Here's my two pence for you fella. Unless you are quite flush with the cashola, try your hardest to stick to one build at a time. Once you get into this, it's real hard not to start visualising your next build and the build after that - then you start buying parts that you think you'll need. All of a sudden, a part that you REALLY do need will show up and you'll have no wedge left to get it. Any questions you got, just write them up on here - you'll be amazed at the experience and knowledge that's on this site.

Oh, and get yourself to MK this coming weekend  :daumenhoch:

I would say that most of the bits sold on here are much cheaper than 99% of ebay purchases (unless you get lucky and snag a bargain).

You also know you are dealing with a fellow enthusiast who wont mess you about.

Case point: I just picked up a set of NOS Hanabishi cranks including axle and BB for £57 posted.  After checking May 1984 issue of BMX Action, I noticed just the cranks were going for £55 back then (25 years ago)...  On the bay, these wouldve gone for £75+ IMO.

hi, dude, i am also in the same situation as you, i always had bmx's as a nipper, but recently (at the age of 35) started having wierd dreams about bmx's, so i decided to have a skyway ta frame imported from the states (as you do), as i can afford one now and couldn't 25 years ago!

I have never built a bmx before but after spending some time on this site, i am relishing the thought.

I will tell you what the other guys told me, don't rush it, take your time, get it right!

Keep an eye out in the for sale section on this site, you can find most parts, just keep checking on a daily basis.

Let me know how you go on mate.
