Well, more like "finds" rather than "scores" but with the emphasis definitely on small!! Anyway, I went to a classic car meet in Tokyo on Sunday and whilst wandering around the secondhand stalls, spotted this box of bike bits in amongst the car parts:-

Upon closer examination I spotted (and bought) these:-

I think they're road bike rather than out and out bmx levers but I couldn't resist them! :daumenhoch:
Then I found a stall selling Japanese language versions of old movie pamphlets and rummaging through those, found and of course had to buy this one:-

So nothing to set the bmx world alight, but cool nonetheless.
