I like this quote in the Advert " We have had it in our main window over the summer and it has done nothing but draw in customers and bring back childhood memories ".

This quote almost got my paypal launcher twitching....

"Similar bikes on eBay have a buy now price of over £1000 so grab yourself a bargain".

Yeah agree..£1000 BIN is madness.

LOL

I bought a pair of mid-school rims from that guy a couple of years back, he's not very old...he sent me a load of pics of the bikes he has built to sell. He took great pleasure in telling me that he takes NOS parts and customises them to make unique bikes.

Nice guy, but oh dear.

Maybe he was on some medication when he assembled this one...or blind drunk.

...and have very little change out of two and half grand.

I like the GT BTW - but not enough to sell a motor to fund...

I quote from the gt seller

"If you know anything about BMX then you know about this bike, it has to be the best BMX ever built.  They truly are great. I have two so one has to go, so get a real investment."

Almost as good as the skyway seller.....the best bmx ever built :-\

Nick your GT might looks absolutely spot on and is worth the cash - this one, well, isn't...even though it is the self declared 'best BMX ever built'?

Hope no one get hammered at a Xmas party or something and gets come a buys this pink one for the priced asked - imagine the buyer's remorse???
