Title: Re: Whats The Most Expensive BMX Item You Own?? paid or sold for..
Post by: bigfatolly on April 02, 2012, 08:54 PM: Most i have paid for anything is £160 which has happened twice.

A chrome Rickman freestyler f+f and a complete MRD pro survivor.

I will soon have 5 complete bikes when summer is over and have never paid more than that sum for any one part,preferring to restore ,trade and wait for bargains for what i need.

For the record my builds are

MRD Badlander
MRD Pro
2 Rickman freestylers
82 gusset goose

So proof you dont have to spend a fortune to have cool bikes if you are patient and got an eye for a bargain :daumenhoch:

So My 1986 Haro Master Frame forks and Pegs all Powdered and Decalled owes me £650 when at the time a NOS 85 was £350, for me it had to be the 86 the bike I never owned as a kid :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Whats The Most Expensive BMX Item You Own?? paid or sold for..
Post by: Jt on April 03, 2012, 11:32 PM: fook knows.

I bought a Darnell young full bike, with andy Patterson forks for a couple of hundred quid, and then did it up.

I try and sell my stuff for what I paid or as close as I can get for it.

Not a fan of turning a profit as I made my money elsewhere, but on some stuff it's unavoidable, so to avoid it I stopped selling stuff.

I don't think I have anything really expensive, justo few nice bits I acquired along the way.
