What bikes/parts has everyone sold and later regretted? Here's some pics of my '86 DB Harry Leary Turbo which I took in 2000. I sold the bike that year for £150 to Chris Warburton, who has since sold it to someone else. Wonder what I could have got for it now? Maybe £160? :laugh: Never mind, I've still got the original black suede-type Kashimax seat, so at least I've got something to start me off on building another one! :2funny:

about 2 years ago I had a big clear out of my shed, (after about 15 years of carrying boxes of bike crap from one house to another). A mate had sold some BMX parts to someone for a large amount so I called up the guy and he came round. He took my Hutch Aerospeed cranks, some Leary Turbo cranks and some other parts, for money that I was happy with at the time. A few months later I got tuned into Ebay, BMX collectors, and eventually radbmx, and found out just how much what I had was selling for. Oh, btw, the "guy" who came and bought the stuff from me was Biagio, and there was a picture of my parts on his web site saying "diamonds". Oooff!
