As a bmx enthusiast and a quite active viewer of this forum although not an active poster it does pain me that there is such negativity towards people you dont know but then there are always keyboard warriors on forums Thumbs down I am a youngish hard working parent and cannot afford cheque book bikes so I do buy and sell bikes here and there but I do also collect them most of which are in survivor condition sorry for asking for an idea of what I had found and if you read my first post it states I dont get time to get on here as much as I would love to so thanks to those who are of help  :daumenhoch:

Point taken but my comment was aimed at Griff not you so I've deleted it. Clint is right too.

Think pretending not knowing what you've bought 'when it says it down the frame' you must know full well what you've bought, and if you're a collector as you say you are you know 'what' in all probability what it's worth,  so you post does come across as a ' please make me an offer by pm' thread....
R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

I missed your comment Nick :(

Good to see a bunch of negative comments getting people fired up the night before we all go back to work
I imagine it will ease off a bit once Top Gear is back on

CHO 317240 one hole in brake mount and no flattened drop outs  :)

Sorry mate that isn't a Supergoose,  it's a standard Mongoose with a sticker set on it as it would have to be a Team frame so "T" in the serial number and flattened rear stay by the chain. Team or Super Mk1's used the same f&f and were 100% chromo - they're the easiest Goose to work out :coolsmiley:

Still got a stack of quality parts on it and a bargain if £90 so wipe it down, tighten it all up and get it ridden >:D

Someone else said at the beginning asking 'what's it worth' isn't good forum etiquette, you said you understood that but persisted.

Why?

As said 'what's it worth' is just an another way of holding an auction via PM. 

If you're as much of a BMX enthusiast as you claim to be then you'll respect other BMX enthusiasts by not asking.

If you'd have just shown your find and asked what it was I'd have just congratulated you on your great find and passed on by.

It's really all Griff and Ed's fault without these new smilies   :feebay: and Thumbs down this would never have happened.

Joff, having met Rich and suviving the experience without feeling dirty and abused, I can confirm that the bloke cooking the pig was far, far wierder :shocked:

"Is that even possible?" I hear Chris ask...... my advice is to only agree to meet Rich in well lit, very public places. I had to decline his original venue suggestions of "somewhere in the deep dark woods" and "the dank, dangerous basement under my house" before he accpeted the centre of Birmingham in our office foyer, so maybe anyone meeting up with him should do the same ???

"did you eat the pig; I cooked the pig" was barely human once he got going......... especially when he was trying to stroke Griff :shocked:

 ;D

I'll take your word for it Spen but i'll be keeping all my dealings with Rich strictly to PM's and i'll leave the meet and greet to the Royal Mail if he ever wants anything from me .
