The rims look like Spencer to me.


When i messaged the seller about a BIN he said a local BMX expert told him to up the price of his reserve from £125 to £250 because of the parts. Sounds like the local expert has just cost somebody even more money than what he would have paid for it.

Nice frameset there, Wilson frames were ridden by the Halfords factory riders.

Am i missing something here ?????


That is an Ebay link above which forgive me if i'm wrong means the bike was on Ebay, you can't get any fairer than that. You only had to bid to win it. I've already posted the reserve set was £250, obviously the winner bid that or over that to break it.

How's that unfair ????

i thought it was cheap seeing as what was on it.
break it and you would end up with a cheap set of bars and a few other bits.
if i'd still have been interested in the old bikes i'd have deffo been in for that.

My post was making fun of the term 'volutures'.  I couldn't give a monkeys about the eBay auction TBH.
