Title: Parts you wish you hadn't sold.........
Post by: bigfatolly on March 14, 2012, 11:12 PM: We've all done it,needed some cash for the paypal account and flogged some parts on...........only to find a year or so down the line you are building another bike and wish you hadn't sold the part :2gunsfiring_v1:

So lets see and i will start.

Building a gusset goose at the moment and could really do with these polished maxy cross cranks i sold to Costa for about Â£30 years ago :yahoo_silent:

Post by: Al Wyn on March 15, 2012, 05:04 PM: Sold i wouldnt have minded although id rather just still have them) but gut wrenchingly at sometime between 1987-2007 both my bikes namely fully loaded Skyway TA and Curtis freestyler apparently were in the way in my parents garage and were removed to a shed at the top of the garden and from there nobody can remember or knows where they went :(

Post by: HEYWOOD BMX on March 15, 2012, 07:08 PM: :) When RAD first started I gave away a NOS pair of CW pro bars and a NOS set of Action Zone bars to 2 fellow Radsters that I`d never met....No regrets though as I was never gonna use `em & prices weren`t as mad back then.

Post by: lk_97 on March 17, 2012, 07:25 AM: A restored 1983 mongoose expert, powerdisk, sugino cranks, had loads of good parts... I got rid of it to get a new school, I swapped it for a basically new wethepeople trust and loads of parts, I made about £100 on the parts and got some new mutiny glam bars and a 9t wheel, so it's not all that bad I guess :)

Post by: southern andy on March 17, 2012, 07:38 AM: Sold a fair few bits that i needed a few months later but the worst things were the bits i gave away, i didn't realise how hard to find the small things in BMX are. MarkyP's done well out of me :knuppel2: and he won't give them back as they're on his show bikes. :LolLolLolLol:

at current prices i guess this is worth about Â£10,000
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v697/mattskybeat/vdc1.jpg)

to be honest i could go on for hours. The sad thing is i wont buy anything at the current prices so usually just sit quietley in the background of rad.
