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.
