Been working in a customers house all week and she left for a holiday last night saying her parents would be about today doing a few little jobs round the house. Got chatting to her father today, top bloke and quite knowledgable.
Anyway somehow we got on the topic of hobbies and i mentioned bmx to which he said he used to have a bike shop years ago back when he lived down south.
He went on to say he sold the shop but kept a few bits that interested him and one piece was a bmx part he had never seen before.
I excitedly asked him about it and he seemed to recall it was some sort of sample, he tried to explain it... then the magic happened.
"Better still i will nip home and dig it out for you" he said.
half an hour later he returned with what can only be described as rocking horse poo spooned into a unicorns horn forming a sort of legendary cornet :shocked:
"if you can make use of it you can have it" he says. "i did imagine i may give it to one of the gran kids but the clutch of girls wouldn't be interested"

Oh dear god you tease, is it the prototype airless tyre, or the wheels with springs for spokes :LolLolLolLol:
-
Prototype isn't far off, never seen one for sale. Think this may be a pre production sample. Dont think they ever actually got produced though ;)
-
Is it a part or a frame?
-
Just posting a cheeky reply so I can follow this thread more easily. :LolLolLolLol:
-
Is it a black plastic Schrader valve cap as I hate to tell you I've actually seen one before?
-
...or...
is it the word "score" written on a piece of paper?
-

Thanks :daumenhoch:
I found those last night but neither are proof of its physical existance :-\
-
In all honesty do you think it would be in a bag with ACS card on the top if they never went to sale?
I like the look of it but it did get advertised in the late 80's when BMX was on its are.
Maybe they didn't get many orders and therefore not many were made?
-
Dunno pickle? :-\ was hoping someone may have seen one back in the day or something. Maybe it was a presale sample or something ???
-
They were advertised right up to 93 in BMX plus. Given the ads first appeared in the late 80's I think its safe to say they were in production for a number of years. IIRC they were rather expensive which probably explains why not many sold back in the day. Given the finish and packaging thats definitely a production version, and its a nice bit of kit for an early mid freestyle build.
