Yesterday saw the last jaunt for a while, Dans back to Japan tomorrow so a hastily final bmx fling was arranged

A coastal town was picked (in case we turned up nothing and could do a spot of arcade action

) and the celica was once again throttled down the countries A roads in search of new hunting grounds.
The first stop turned up a few bits but the third was the jackpot!!!
We arrived just as the shop owner was loading a large trailer full of old frames

With moments to spare before the scrap man made off we scoured the trailer and managed to rescue a few frames and a set of nos grifter forks. There was probably more in there, certainly a tomahawk/strika frame but the scrap man didnt seem happy at his dwindling takings for the day so we had to make do with what ever was retrievable without unloading the whole stack.
It was mostly road stuff but there was bound to be the odd other bmx related bits in there,.... we shal never know.

Once we actually got in the shop it was great pickings. He was closing due to retirement so all the nooks and crannies where things get missplaced over the years had been sorted through and placed in neat boxes or on shelves just waiting there for us

Not a bad haul considering ive picked the place twice before

The Fishbone vert pegs are sadly missing their mounting nuts but had a thoroughly enjoyable 3 Hours sifting through every nook and cranny of the shop, back room and workshop with the managers blessing
