Due to constant pressure, I am being forced into racing new school - Something about me being too young for old school (although I think this means "quick" :LolLolLolLol:).
Therefore, just picked up this from the bay of evil...

Should be ok to get me going - looks like it needs a bit of love and care, but should have it ready for my first race at Bournemouth on the 3rd
Will be picking her up on Saturday, which should give me Bank Holiday Monday to take her down to my local track in Bexhill to get some much needed practice!

Well done Sats, I had a look at that GT. I decided that I have enough bikes at the moment.
That could be a superb looking bike with the right care.
-
Looking good Aaron, looking good.
I know what you mean about being quick though. I saw you in your first race and thought you'd be a shoe in for championship winner next year. Phil dissagreed though :LolLolLolLol:

I wanted that :( but only pick up as i recall ???

It was but I spoke to the seller and he was quite happy to box it up and have a courier collect it.
I then used the contact that Sandro posted (see here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=16303.0 (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=16303.0)) and they would have collected and delivered the bike for £20.
I just couldn't justify it at the moment as I have 2 frames winging their way to me as we speak. Glad it has gone to a good home though :daumenhoch:
-
you'll not want another bike for a long time, these are excellent. i love mine :smitten:
-
Do you have any pic's of yours... would like to see what it "should" look like!
-

I remember seeing it at MK... you have the HotWheels Ltd Edition as well? I picked one up from the bay earlier in the week incase this one did not come through.
You need you get your duster out and give her a spring clean!
-
its nice and clean now :coolsmiley: the hot wheels mach one is a nice bike, just a little heavy. if its all original keep it, and save it for riding around the streets on
-
Unfortunately there's not enough room in the shed - Will clean her up good and proper and see if anyone would be interested - She's in good condition, with all the original bits (chain guard, reflectors, etc)
Do you know when the hotwheels edition was made? Not sure if its mid or new school?
-
i think its late eighties, but not entily sure. is it the same colourway as mine?
-
Yeah, exactly the same (could be identical twins).
Will post a pic once she is cleaned up after the weekend.
-
More like mid ninties. :LolLolLolLol:

Next you'll be saying its 2000 :LolLolLolLol:
-
it might be ;D ;D
-
Just a little pic of the GT when I got it home - just need to put on new grips, brake pads, brake cable, seat, wheels, tyres, chain...
She was not in great condition and needs a lot of love and care - and disinfecting :LolLolLolLol:
Should have some "before" and "after" pics up tomorrow!
