It's addictive. Very addictive.  It's hard to recall what it was like before I rediscovered BMX  :-\. Maybe looking through this book will jog my memory of those halcyon days when I had money

It's very rare that anything decent comes up for sale on here these days, so it's fairly easy for me to stop building.

I get a lot of the rarer items from bmxmuseum now Dan, and for reasonable prices (in old school terms) most of the time.  Got to know a few people on there who will ship to me on my terms (cheapest rate/marking items down on customs). Put a wanted ad up for a mint pink shot gun II seat - got a reply within hours and it arrived in just over a week with no charges to pay. The sense of community is much better on here though  :4_17_5:

Photos coming later chaps. Not collected it yet.

Loved them as a kid, so I'm chuffed with this. I think handlebars are gonna be a major ballache to acquire.

Right, it's  Redline PL20 but I'll be damned if I can put pictures on here.

Yes I have a photobucket account, no I don't know how to do it via a mobile.
