Title: Your collecting niche?
Post by: oldschoolace on June 27, 2014, 02:57 PM
We all like our Bmx but do you find yourself collecting one particular part more than others?
It dawned on me this morning as I put yet another set of mags in the man cave that I have amassed a tidy collection of them, I guess they are my niche  :)

What about you lot?

Exactly my thinking Dan it never occurred to me that mags were my thing until I ran out of places to put them. I guess grips are easier to store :daumenhoch:

I went CW mad a couple of years ago. I had the stupid notion of getting every model they made. Then I thought Fook it and have got rid of 4 and some clothing. "nono"

Now I appear to have a collection of GT Mach Ones :uglystupid2:

I know that's not that many, but if I had more bikes I'd want Sharp grips on those as well

Not really a niche, have always found I buy something (sometimes out of necessity) then something better or what I originally wanted turns up so I buy that too, I end up with lots of options  :LolLolLolLol:

Its all about the 70's for me.  The older the better... which funnily enough is my taste for BMX also   :LolLolLolLol:

Pad sets. In the end, I had around 15 sets of Nos Goose (all colors) minus blue, and a few used... Never got any blue. And maybe 4 sets of Skyway pads. Perhaps 80% went to Australia. I was just starting out in this image.

Not BMX, but they are from the '80's, and were intended for children!
