Hardly bought anything in the last 12 months, a frame and forks i'd wanted for ages, sold another as soon as it arrived.... one in one out

Some Colony lugged forks last week

Got 3 bikes built up and a few bits and bats i should get shut of

I don't want anymore, doesn't stop me looking in the for sale section  :D

Bit of trading in and out, after quite a long lull.

Got a chrome laserlite to finish off, a black nova to build, a quad being done a diffent colour, and a pro racer than needs finishing, oh and a strip and rethink for the greyserlite.

Finished tweaking my gt pro, and need to take gen 2 profiles out of r gusset and replace with a nice one piece.

Only spent 500 quid on new bits to allow all that to happen, so a lot of bang for my buck, did have most of the stuff already though.

I like messing about with old school bmx's.. Bit of harmless fun and the lads/ craic on here seems to be getting back round to where it once was.

All good.

I bought a Skyway TA this week but it arrived with a bloody crack in it - so I'm using that as an excuse to calm down. I've been selling bits I've not been using to fund other bits for builds, so I haven't really been spending much at all.

Building a new school (ish) bike to take up my trails and possibly looking for something mid-school as I miss my tank of a dirtbike.

But I think I'm done building ponies.

I sold my baby blue Quadangle last week very very cheaply and i'm probably going to split my M'goose this weekend. I've also sold some NOS Anlun bars and a fair few number plates recently.


Bought..... A Profile Champ F+F set and that's about it in the last year i think.

I've enjoyed riding new & old school that much in the past 12 months I've sold loads of stuff.bought a few choice bits along the way as well,but more interested in survivor stuff these days as I have to ride my bikes.all my nos and mint stuff is either gone or going shortly as can't justify show builds anymore.....especially when I would like a new school custom build & new mountain bike  :)
Will come Back to building show builds when I can't ride anymore  :)  lovin it  :2gunsfiring_v1:

Had a few bits for a build that went t1t$ up so now waiting for something else to come along. :daumenhoch:

Given myself a £650.00 budget for a complete Diamond Back so we'll see what comes up.

Oh and everything I've seen is in the blummin states. :(

I've been good recently, although still buying bikes, I'm buying new school stuff locally and selling it locally, so actually making a little money, bought nothing for myself for ages
Title: Re: So whos been good and slowed up on buying bmx bits
Post by: Swivel on May 04, 2012, 02:21 PM
Not bought a lot really, total contrast to last year, only the odd bits for my neighbours bikes and a NOS dominator for myself recently, otherwise concentrating on finishing my nos 1985 White master with all nos bits which will be completed in a week or so when I can get off my arse.
