BMX Chat / Re: What to do when the bikes only take up space?

« Last post by Midschoolfool on February 10, 2026, 07:22 PM »

I will be upfront with you I sold mine for stupid money. £2750. For the lot, and it was a lot. Losing the least would mean piecing them out, something I just really couldn't be bothered over. I also won't sell on Ebay because they want total access to your bank account and that ain't happening. So I sold them to a mate and they are gone and I have never felt better about a decision.

The way I look at it is they brought me an awful, awful lot of pleasure and got me through my second divorce. So the loss of money didn't matter one jot as I never spent a penny on them I could not afford to lose.

I am glad I am no longer tripping over the bloody things.

New School Racing / Re: 2026 Race Blog – Year 10 – Here We Go Again!

Yesterday's race was cancelled due to snow. My back's getting better, despite all of the snow shovelling over the past few weeks, so I was half-disappointed but half-relieved that I didn't have to drive all that way in the snow! Next race is on 15th March!

Do you want to sell them all together or individually? If the former, then I guess you'd be looking for another collector and the Museum is probably your best bet for that, if you can deal with the added hassle of overseas shipping. Obviously, it all depends on what you're selling and how much you're asking/wanting, etc, etc. I guess you could always try on here first as well.

BMX Chat / What to do when the bikes only take up space?

« Last post by Avro on February 07, 2026, 07:08 PM »

I have room for all the bikes, for now at least, I love to have them in my front room. No big collection, just four bikes but all are complete.
Some time ago, maybe a year or more, I did contact an online retailer about the bikes possibly being for sale but I never got a reply. I thought I might get a reply, even if negative, but nothing.
I am reluctant to go to Ebay, I once worked at a business that ended up trading on Ebay pretty much exclusively and had to deal with the horrors of fraud first hand: Ebay always paid for the fraud, it was so frustrating. However, as a private seller, I had overwhelmingly positive experience but that was some years ago.
Advice? Please don't say Facebook! Anyway, I am open, other than Facebook!!

Tech and Restoration / 83/84 Viceroy Pro Line

« Last post by Chilli Rinse on February 05, 2026, 09:32 PM »

Slow burner frame and forks build alert 😂

I saw a frame on eBay I liked the look of. Done a bit of research and the Viceroy frame is the same as the Puch Challenger Pro, some were Japanese built by Kuwahara. The Puch and Viceroy both came with Akisu forks apparently. So I buy the frame which is still yet to be unpacked. It came with some mid school freestyle forks that were honestly listed as non original. Then this evening, the seller messages me and lets me know the original forks have just been listed. I showed some interest and was told it is not his listing but it’s the bloke that sold him the frame. The forks were part of a bundle, I’d only want the forks though. I message the bloke and he very kindly offers to split the bundle and part with just the forks. Nice one! Forks purchased and will eventually be reunited with their original frame after a bit of a clean up.

The plan is to wait until spring, get cracking and build the bike by raiding the spares in the cave.
