Title: I can't see why this BMX is getting slated
Post by: Jaymz on May 09, 2014, 10:07 PM: This listing is getting a hammering on Facebook, I can't see why.

I replied to thread with this

'' Haters going to hate, but pretty much most of the bikes when I was growing up looked like this, we all swapped parts, ran single tuffs, took our decals off etc etc, that bike may not be an 80s survivor as he has said, but it's doing a good job of looking like a bike straight out of my street from when I was a kid, it's wearing DX pedals and mostly mongoose bits, shit it's exactly what we did, started with a shit bike and slowly dressed in good bits that we swapped or bought, I like it "

There weren't spec bikes or show ponies on my shitty council estate, your tires didn't match because you went to the bike shop and your dad bought you the cheapest tire there, I had a chopper tyre and shopper tyre on my burner at one point

But yes, he is asking too much for it

We didn't care what colour it was or if it matched the rest the bike, only thing that mattered was it still worked :daumenhoch:

X2 on that , I used to run a red 7x & a chrome rear wheel bitd & a mix mash of coloured bits
Changed nearly everything bar f&f :LolLolLolLol:
So I couldent criticise it , but the bin is a tad steep IMO , but hope it bids for what it's worth :)

Post by: Jaan on May 10, 2014, 10:16 AM: I have to be honest and I only half read the post, I assumed it was just a case of build snobbery.

Price is a little daft...
