got tange forks on it, what looks like an sr stem, who knows...looptail, with shaped drop outs...
headtube looks long?
probably shite, but for less than a pack of fags, it might be worth a punt.
-
:Great_Britain:
-
hmmm think its the shallow angle of the rear end/stays. Probably is a pos but just caught my eye.
Either way i wont be going to Hereford for it ;)
-
Not a good colour for a shed . :daumenhoch:
-
Well its still got its refectors on so its complete :P
Don't think the seat is era correct ;)
-
Birmingham Wheels Mini :daumenhoch:
I wish :LolLolLolLol:
Not with those rear drop-outs though Paul :-\
Looks cunningly disguised as a bike, but if you look closely, it's a shed........ :shocked: :2funny:
-
Interesting :coolsmiley:
PeterJ has a mate who's got one, and I think Ash Kungfunky has one, but I thought the rear drop-outs were square, not tapered / sloping down ???
Got to be worth a punt to see - it's got a £10 SR stem on it to sell if all else fails :LolLolLolLol:
-
its not the best pic to see the drop outs well but heres my Brum W mini to give you an idea.

Well fook me lads, it could be what Steve Animal is after.
Can I get in touch with him to tell him and if so, I will try and win it for him to cheer him up a bit if it is a Brum Wheels frame so let me know if you think it is please lads, and fooking sharp-eyes of the week award to Paul Snav if so :daumenhoch:
Cheers
Spen

Just tried the "what's your postcode for collection" PM first, then I'll ask for a few pics and have a look and get a couple of Ash's pics to compare it first.
I don't mind paying decent money for the frame if it is a Brum Wheels, but the rest looks skip-worthy so you've gotta hope the seller doesn't think it's a gold-mine by hitting them with too many questions so I'll see how I get on.

Good luck with this Spen as I'm sure there will be plenty of bidders now everyone knows what it is >:(
If you need more detailed pics pal just let me know :daumenhoch:
-
;D Nice one Snav, i knew it was summat more than a Raleigh.
In fact i was so sure i sent him a message yesterday to see if he would consider postage ;)

You could have had a nice little score if you'd had a cheeky punt on that. Shame everyone on here knows what it is now. 'Loose lips, sink ships' and all that. :(

As discussed this morning with Bruce Lee's love child ;)

-
I went to watch one of Ash's Kung Fu classes as I have a lot of respect for someone with his level of dedicate and skill
Wasnt what I expected ???
-
It took me 3 years of living / training at the shaolin temple in China to perfect those moves I'll have you know >:(
1st lesson free folks :daumenhoch:
-
if spen is gonna go for this to give to steve to cheer him up after whats happened then i think the rest of us should give him a clear shot at it and not bid on it :daumenhoch:
-
lmao a classic no no on rad ;D you see something thats maybe a bit ok .......then go for it quietly...you tell on here you lose on there :)

i think you are missing my point

;D just out of curiousity does anyone buy a bike you have no interest in just cos they are a potential bargain?
I dont think i could buy a bike i dont like just to flip it for a few notes, couldnt be arsed with it.
I was interested to know what this bike was and, yes, interested enough to put a cheeky bid in if the time came but i aint gonna fight anyone over it :daumenhoch:

the point i'm trying to make is that steve(animal) is pretty cut up at the moment over what happened with cupid stunt and if spen69 is gonna get this to cheer him up abit then i think we shouldn't get in the way :daumenhoch:

i think you are missing my point
Just because someone replies directly under your post does not mean they are reffering to your post i was making a comment for the OP :daumenhoch:
Anyways peace and love why dont you lot do the right morally correct thing and drop the seller a pm....tell him what he has....im sure good things will come of it ;)

no problem mate :daumenhoch:

Are you guys sure this is a Birmingham Wheels?? Because I'm not!
Look at the length of the back end compared to the one KungFunky has, it's way to long and the brake stay is miles out of place
Look at the one on BMXmuseum, it has cable guides along the top tube, the Ebay one hasn't.
I'm not convinced it's a B Wheels at all.
-
Oh for fcuks sake, the first and probably only interesting bike to appear on ebay in my home town, and now there's no chance of me getting it, cheers OP
If someone wins it on here then as it'll go above my budget now, 'll pick up and pack for them for a small fee

Dunno, the red one on the museum looks spot on and they did 4 sizes apparently, mini, standard, long and extra long. that would account for the longer arse end :daumenhoch:
incidently the seller hasn't responded to my request for postage so if i wasnt already, i am certainly out of the running now :)
-
Ive messaged him twice, the first time was soon after it was listed. I even know where the bike is as he enquired at my local bike shop what it was and they had no idea, they called me to see if i knew, before i could even see the thing he'd listed it

(http://www.hutchbmx.be/myvintagebikes/img16.jpg)
rear drop outs look pretty similar
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/i63/209ed/BMX/Screenshot2011-09-14atcopy.jpg)
-
Probably thinks he's well in the money because he's loads of watchers off here :LolLolLolLol:
-
look nice hangin in my shed
-
Still not convinced..........
I appreciate that there are 4 different sizes of frames and the two pics above are taken at slightly different angles but that back end still looks a different angle + the stub for the seatpost is a lo longer on the chrome wheels bike compared to the Ebay one, surely that would be the same on all models?
I hope it is a genuine one and I hope someone gets it for a killing, that would be cool!
-
Its sure looks very similar to that 83 mini in the museum.
Matt
-
And they also made customs for riders :daumenhoch:
-
If anyone could get a close up pic of the welds that would be the clincher.
Reynolds 531 and brazed i believe :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain:
-
who won this in the end then???
-
Lol seller will be scratching his head with that one
-
£102....Not bad if it turns out to be the real deal.....
-
Got totally priced out on this and its just 10mins walk down the road from me :( noones asked me to pick up and pack so i imagine its not gone to a radster
-
::)
-
I'm surprised no one has noticed that the two wheels seem to be different sizes! I think that makes it look different to the other bike. If you ask me the rear triangle looks the same. But the frot triangle is a bit shorter. Which would be explained if they done several lengths of top tube. I think the wheels make it look even more different from the other picture. The seat tube is defiantly shorter though! :)
-
::)
is it heading for you then steve ?
-
I can't agree or dey who it's gone to, but let's just say it's in the midlands and the right man has a new toy to play with :-X :coolsmiley:

Glad it went to where it was supposed to go :daumenhoch:

Nice one Spen, hats off to you :daumenhoch:
Cheers for the totally unrequired thanks, but my friend who shall remain nameless did it all himself in the end as we got worried this would go large. thankfully it didn't go too big >:D

;D All's well that ends well :daumenhoch:
