He lives in Harrogate.
As for the finds I have chased the Profile for over a year and the CW for at least 2 years. I know alot of people in BMX from BITD and have been involved in BMX since the tail end of 1982, only retiring from racing in 2002/3. I'm lucky that I have a great memory for the old days and can remeber loads of shit. The XL24 and other bikes in my collection have been mine from back in he day.
Alot of my builds have been in progress for many years. Apart from the old gear I already had I started collecting, albeit rather slowly back in 96/97. Being a Yorkshire man through and through I love a bargin and have had a few treats stashed away waiting for the complementary pieces to finshe them off.
Patience is a must in this game. all the goodies are out there if your prepared to wait. Granted it is hard finding stuff nowadays because there are to many of us at it nowadays.
