Title: What were your best BMX buys of 2010 ????
Post by: southern andy on January 03, 2011, 09:41 AM: A bit quiet on here so as in the title then.

Obviously you don't need to put the price you paid down but if you want to piss everyone off then please do :LolLolLolLol: Also photos are optional but we all like piccys.

No limit, if you only got 1 good deal then lets read about it and if you got 20 then fair play to you. :4_17_5:

For me.......

NOS Arai sealed hubs for Â£8

Also managed to finally blag a Rickman Pro. :4_17_5: Quite a few freestylers about but the race bikes are very thin on the ground. Just check the RAD museum.

More recently a nice set of Terry Cable cranks, when was the last time you saw them on a build.
