Ok, so a mate phone's me up saying a pal of his has an old bmx in his shed, am i interested, probably a pos, but its got skyway stickers on it!
I pop round and he pulls this out!!

Original survvivor, not be touched for 20+ years!

Some real nice bits on it to
GT pro bars
araya 7x
DC mx 1000
Shimano DX
few other treasure's in that shed too!!

Not sure what to do with it now, think i'll just give it a real good clean up
drop outs are mint, and the chrome frame will clean up easily.

great find hope you keep it and clean it up

Ace find

Give it a clean and leave it as is

Restored ones draped in bling are ten a penny!

Top result, and hope for us all that they are still out there.

Wow! Hope you got a good deal on that, what a result. Now it needs turning into a vanderspek golden gate tribute...

Is it ok to be a little bit jealous?

spot on find

if he didn't know you were into bmx's then it might have just gone in the skip - well saved

Now thats a proper shed find

I to would give it a little clean up and leave it as it is

deeman · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2013, 03:28 PM »

That is a great find and as said before,gives hope to us all that we may find something equally as nice in someones shed/garage/loft.So,what else was in the shed??

martin46 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2013, 04:15 PM »

Yeah man, Great find

Thats what its all about. Bet you were buzzin when he pulled that out?

AKGOFF · « **Reply #18 on:** February 03, 2013, 04:28 PM »

Nice find and you've got some nice parts for it by the sounds of it. Rip all the old shite parts off it, get it repowdered and then rebuild it with the decent parts. 'suvivor' builds are being 'done to death' at the moment.

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #19 on:** February 03, 2013, 04:29 PM »

That's lovely, nice to see a survivor

dordymush · « **Reply #20 on:** February 03, 2013, 05:23 PM »

crackin find.
a quick wipe over and leave it as is.
just by the comments on here should tell you what most think of NOS builds nowadays

NORTY40 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 03, 2013, 05:38 PM »

Great find

Looks like it will clean up a treat

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #22 on:** February 03, 2013, 05:46 PM »

clean the hell out of it . rebuild it with only new essentials, maybe some nice used pedals .. rechrome and re powder ta s are to common esp with the new stuff coming out this year to !!
