ok here it is,my mate only got into os bmx a couple of months back and got this for £600 on e bay,its an 84 and has been loft stored for 25 years!!!,hes since split up with his missus and is looking to offload it.its been at my house all week as hes got nowhere to store it at the mo.ive had a good look over it,all the parts are snide,formos brakes,copy ez bars,victor pedas,copy tuf neck clamp,you get the pic,along with the damaged tuff wheel i think its worth more in the region of £450- 500,although the frameset is in really nice survivor condition.

I'm working on a red set at the mo (long mo) - it has to be teased carefully and can pull on one bolt more than the other, so has to be moved around each time

what price you shifting them at mate ?

cheers B  ;)
