Title: local charity shop find....now with pickies!!!!
Post by: meticulous on January 03, 2010, 05:40 PM
had a tip-off from a friend about a bmx at our local charity shop on saturday, so whizzed round there to see...

TBH i have never been into kuwahara's, so dont know much about them, but this seems in good nick and for £50 i thought it shouldnt be missed...

i know its probably one of them toy-shop ET copies thingymajig's, thats worth fook all but had a few nice bits on...

so thought it was'nt to be missed, especially as i had just drove 3 miles there...


any advice would be greatly appreciated...

pickies to follow soon...

Looks like its just come back from SBD and had the Del decal treatment.

Sorry but that's far to nice.........if you did get it for £50 then that the find of the century!

Mate, surely a man of your knowledge in the game would be showing a little more enthusiasm over finding that for £50.

F*ck me, the elina lightning bolt's gotta be worth twice as much on its own let alone the tech 2's, stem, opc etc etc. Oh, then theres what looks to be an n.o.s frame and fork set which if is the "toy shop" version is the better of the two you could buy bitd as its got the double gusset.

I agree with the boss.............................WIND UP.  :P
