Post by: Retrodan72 on October 30, 2015, 04:44 AM: 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.

Post by: Spen69 on October 30, 2015, 07:25 AM: I stopped building a few years ago as I was too busy with my kids...... but now my kids need bigger bikes 8've got a couple of Redline Mini race bikes in bits on the garage floor....... >:D

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:

Post by: southern andy on November 01, 2015, 08:30 AM: 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.
