Title: SILVER STAR BMX
Post by: Stodgy on January 12, 2006, 01:22 PM: Does anybody know anything about 'SilverStar' BMX's? From the 80's apparently.

One of the ladies in my office has one in here garage, just wondered if it would be worth grabbing?

Cheers

Dave

You never know she may have got the name slightly wrong and it could be a Pro Star or Silver Fox or even a Hutch Pro Star ;D

I reckon it's always worth taking a look if it is no hassle and local.

There was a bike that was on the bay a month or so back (hey Dordy ;))that is still pretty unheard of (good bike though) and it went very cheaply and was in great nick.

It had some top end parts on it aswell and was a real bargain and not many are around either.
