hope tim march dont see this after his facebook rant again  ::).
nice what he thinks about somebody restoring a childhood memory eh.

You know what the point of stuff being old, is that it is old, that's the beauty of it surely... people bootlegging brand names and making money aint on, on any level even if its a little money, no ones asked me, sent me an email not a bloody word.. If you missed the boat first time round why should i be made a mug of because someones too damn lazy to go crate digging for the real thing... assholes..If you want mrd stickers they were on the bikes, if they're in shit shape tough tits, live with it, but i suspect these stickers are for bikes that will never be ridden... fook me. and these are the COLLECTORS.... about as much in common with the spirit of BMX as Cameron has with helping the poor.
