Title: Rainers BMX shop - photos from inside the store / museum
Post by: ozone on April 21, 2009, 08:56 AM: Just came across this thread over on the Museum... http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=128404&p=1

Most of us have seen the website and ordered the odd bit from him but I wasn't aware of this :shocked: A shop full of high-end BMX stuff and, apparently, none of it's for sale...

Amongst other things, he has a pile of those rather expensive Hutch tyres that Munners posted the other day :shocked:

Ramraid, anyone? >:D

All I can say is WOW.

Post by: munners on April 21, 2009, 10:15 AM: Ive spoke to him so many times recently on the phone.

He wont budge an inch with his prices and i have bought quite alot from him too.

You thought Biagio was hard work!!! Nice bloke though. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Never knew it was like that. :shocked: :shocked: Who would ever go there though. Seems a ghost town.

His prices havent really gone up but with the price of the Euro and postage its not worth the aggro.

Love that Patterson. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Wonder why he keeps it like that? All the bikes look like they have been cleaned. No dust. :D

Post by: SaMAlex on April 21, 2009, 11:31 AM: This reminds me of when / why, when I was 11, I used to cycle my BMX 8 miles to spend a few hours LOOKING in Hotshots shop. Not even buying anything, just looking! That place looks almost exactly the same. So so good.

Post by: ozone on April 21, 2009, 01:49 PM: Some people reckon that Biaggio has travelled around Europe looking for bike shops to clear out - don't know how true that is but it wouldn't surprise if he hadn't been in there trying to buy him out :)

I'm sure some of Rainers stock (from the website) comes from Shiners anyway. I remember asking for some stuff a few years ago and he said it was out of stock but he could order it from his supplier in the UK :-\

Title: Re: Rainers BMX shop - photos from inside the store / museum
Post by: gossa on April 21, 2009, 08:22 PM: Rainer was a really good racer, he raced on Zeronine the same time as me, in fact we swapped frames at the international in Lowestoft in 1986 as he wanted a black one and I fancied his chrome one.

His Dad is awesome, just lovely lovely guys, Rainer used to have a mad custom American pick up too.

I can't see him selling that stuff ever....
