Title: Late 80's bmx parts?
Post by: lk_97 on October 29, 2011, 12:59 PM

I know there's topics on parts from late 70's to mid 80's, but I'm building a bike from the late 80's, and I can't find any parts from then to look for, has anybody got pictures or ad's from then?

Thanks

sorry lucas - what they said  ;D

wish I had kept it up, who knows I might have had some skills by now (although probably would have just had a lot of trips to A&E)

good luck looking  :daumenhoch:

I've got a few magazines and bits and bats from the late 80s. When I can get my brothers scanner sorted I'll try get a few things together.
