Definitely wouldn't ride that - can't be many knocking round in that condition - plenty of other "rideable" ones out there..........

I think that's worthy of having a case made for it like the one PKRadkeeks had done for his Ripper, keep the OG box too, maybe use that as the back drop  :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away

if you decide to keep it as is instead of riding it, then keep it in its box as that will add to the value in the end  :daumenhoch:

Funnily enough I was thinking that myself before I even read this  :LolLolLolLol:

I have a pal who runs a specialised plastics moulding company. Might see if he can knock something up  :daumenhoch:

The original box was binned (not by me I hasten to add!) as it was badly damaged by the damp and mice  :'(

I think you should go with Ron Burgundy's idea and the groovy bog roll holder  :coolsmiley:

WINNER  :daumenhoch:


Lovely T/A Iain

This might sound harsh, but you have a responsibility owning that to ensure it stays in the condition it was found and to even consider riding (trashing) it is a disgrace.

Survivor TA's are 10 a penny, ive bought and sold 3 already this year.  There arent many of these around in this condition, and to ride it for the sake of it is a piss take quite frankly.  If you arent arsed about keeping it NOS, sell it to someone who will look after it and buy a rider.

I know people will say 'its only a BMX', but its not anymore, its a valuable collectors item.  You will achieve nothing riding this apart from my complete disdain.


Here here - well put Danny.  Keep as a Carpet Queen...!













Ah fook it, I tried.  Do what you like.  Its your bike after all.  Ride it, crash it, trash it, bin it. :P
