Someone is selling my first ride on fleabay:

It was heavy, not particularly attractive, had non standard dimensions everywhere, but I absolutely loved it. :daumenhoch:
Should I or shouldn't I? ::)
Only cost £30 back in the day; on the flea for £75! :shocked:

I saw that last night and I thought what a nice little resto that would make....
I remember them from BITD....I think I read that they were Spanish....?
-
Go on u know it makes sense 8) build ur old bike as u had it with ur steve Goode bits :daumenhoch:
-
still haven't got your first build done and already got a roving eye ;D
-
Yeah go for it I say :daumenhoch:
-
you know what B.H stands for??? Bloody Heavy!!! they used to weigh a ton :2funny:
-
Do it! Don't get your first bike come up too often. I'd buy my first tank if it came up
-
Definately buy it, you will regret it if you dont. If I ever see my first POS bmx on the bay I will end up paying way too much for it, I just know it
-
Yes, BH were Spanish. I have a BH BMX tandem in the garage that I'll never get around to if anyone wants to buy it lol
-
Buy it or you will regret it and be on the look out for another for ages :daumenhoch:
-
Go for it bud as it wont break the bank will it,so why not :daumenhoch:
-
Buy it or you'll regret it for years :daumenhoch:

At the risk of being ex-communicated, I have made a very firm, logical and emotional decision....
I will not be buying it, and here's for why.....
Whilst I learned to race, hop, kickturn, rockwalk, 180, pogo, ally-oop, endo, "ET Endo" (see the other thread for this one) etc. on this bike, truth be known I fooking hated it!
She was heavy, unresponsive, steel, steel and more steel, Spanish, a cheap Burner Mk. 1 rip off, non standard dimensions (my dad had to have a pair of Tange TX500s my mates gave me cut up and rewelded at work to get them to fit - bless him), rusty, uncool, etc., etc..
All of my mates rode DB Streaks and Turbos, Burners, Haro FSTs, Gooses etc., and I rode the fooking red and yellow BH Cali with bits and pieces added over time.
I did eventually save up for a second hand Ultra Burner in Silever and Blue before snatching a DP Freestyler with Green Zeds at Polytechnic for a pittance, but I always have that bastard BH haunting me.
Why do you think I have skied the budget on my first build? Because it's the bike I never had.
That fooking Cali can go to a good home, and I will banish our love-hate relationship to my teenage in a moment of RAD catharsis........ and on my new (Griff special) UL Snakepost! :daumenhoch:
:angrysoapbox:
*ps* Note to self.... wash fingers after slicing red chillis and before going for a piss.... OUCH that smarts :shocked:

Looking back on that an hour later that was quite a rant!
No wonder no one has replied.....
Shut up, Clean, and go to bed!

Found a mirror and bollocked myself.
Still ain't buying it, though! ;D
