  1. Another one today...nice 1984 GT...great buy-it-now price...like Kerry says to be a well schooled buyer you apparently have to read everything. Still burns my ass...(no forks included)...why leave them in the picture?
  2. Week after week I watch in amazement that they still have more stuff! Years ago we had small glimpse pics of what they had.....but dam it just keeps coming. Had any of you seen this collection prior to any sales? I'm sure members of the past had....wonder if they ever recovered from the NOS overload?...
  3. I get the repop idea when it comes to wearables(and other common items) in most cases...I just like to know I am buying a repop....and likewise feel that some of the rarer stuff should be left and coveted.
  4. I almost hit the button on a Master this morning!!....UUUUUuuuuuuuuuGH!!!!
  5. Yes...all is well. I still collect/trade/sell..I lurk all the sites daily...just dont post too much. How you been?
  6. Is anyone tired of getting ready to hit the buy it now on a pictured full bike....only to have the butt-head list....frame only? This is happenning more an more lazy E-bayers! Most recent was a Mongoose I was prepared to hit the buy-it-now as the seller stated that he also had the bars to go with it!..GREAT!!...however after I contacted the seller he informed me they didnt go with it...just wanted potential buyers to know he had them? Repop anything??...why????.....Please stop!!! There is more than enough survivor stuff out there....the fun is finding it!!!!!!!
  7. What year did Mongoose change to threadless headsets?..Likewise which are the better models for that era?...DMC, Hooligan,??..for race and freestyle...Supergoose?...any pics?...Thanks for the help.
  8. Just picked up a late 70's to early 80's Redline(RL20IIguy will post a pic for me)..I cannot find any serial numbers. How do you I.D. these frames? My thought is 1980 MX II
  9. My name is Chris and I approve this build!!
  10. I am no Cooks Bros. expert however I had that very same spindle in hand this weekend. The owner stated that it was a Cooks bros. and those round things whatever u call them were the same size on his..meaning both pieces were identical. My thoughts are u have one of the wrong size.
  11. Drive by?? Gather up any swag(slam stickers...freebies...maybe a burger) You'll hear me coming up the road as the rig has headers....when I'm within a reasoneable distance...I wave.. u guys get the potatoe launcher ready and my Slam visit will be a record breaker...shortest time spent...pathetic aren't I?
  12. I'm in and prepared for the long journey!!! Chris
  13. While back a great find was a set of dead mint GT forkstanders....on a thrift shop Murray Mt. Bike. Well it happened again as I was looking through a scrap pile of bikes....newer MissyGoose lil girls bike.....had a dead mint front black Nippon on it!!! Tell us weird findings u didnt expect....
  14. I was just about next in line....couldve snaked it as it was 20minutes away. BeaverDam will attest that is not my style as the seller explained the buyer was coming in from Harrisburg PA. Only would have taken a few greenbacks extra...(yes, here is where I pat myself on the back). Wrong Craigslist as it should have been North Jersey. Props to whomever purchased as it was nice!!!!! Chris P.S. Seller was real nice guy and seemed happy with the price paid....which was not what it was advertised.
  15. I was driving along the other day my brother texts me "call _ _ _ is his name and #@%^& is his number says he has Aero cranks for sale". I really was not thinking and made the phone call. Long story short the person on the other end recieved my number and told I'm the crazy BMX guy who will buy...So I say what do you want to sell? His reply almost chocked me...he explains his original bike and the components and would like to sell the original Hutch Aerospeed cranks...now tell me what you guys would say!!! Laugh it up and check out the Aerospeed cranks that just hit the bay....and slipped through my fingers!!! Chris
