  1. DO they still make them? Anyone know where to get them?
  2. Thanks, Its the black seals that I need near the threads on the spindle, not the grey end caps. I should have been more clear, I know there are two.
  3. Mini Sting it is then? Wouldnt the fork lenght be shorter too?
  4. I bought them from Slickone (Carlos) on Ebay,then had them chromed. I trusted him to sell me the real thing, I guess not!!
  5. Are these "REAL" Hutch cages? I've had them for a while and have other cages, but these are much "thicker" metal. On the inside it is stamped BMX one one end and OSR on the other.
  6. I bought these maybe 5 years ago. There are NOS and I was told they were for a Sting. However all these years later I tried to fit them to the frame and the head tube is too short,it measure 5 1/4". What actually are they? Thanks!!
  7. Progress.... in pic. My Repowdered CW bars My re-chromed tufneck, hutch headset lock, Hutch seatpost clamp NOS Mx-1000 brakes Powdered White NOS Tange MX 125 headset Used repowderd Hutch seat post NOS Kashimax Aero seat
  8. There is no way someone in their right mind would now offer more tha 10K, all they had to do was bid on this auction and get it for just over 10k. I also think this brings down the value and excitement of owning it, it seems it not so sought after. I always felt that with the way the economy is and the direction the country is heading, 10K on a bike frame is INSANE!!! JMO Relist it starting at $1, put a reserve that is real, (the least you want to sell it for) and if he wants to sell it let the Free Market decide whats its worth.
  9. The way the economy is in this Country, the path we are heading down, you must be INSANE to spend 10K+ on a bicycle frame! Not to say someone wont, but its crazy.

  11. Just a quick thought. I am not telling you what to do or anything.. but, you may want to rethink your bid for the following reasons: 1) as stated earlier seller can lower reserve at any time (locking you in). 2) you cannot retract your bid within a 24 hour time frame of closing bid. 3) you may not get outbid.. based on the above statement you seem to not want it anyway. 4) Who is to say Juan, Jeff or Jan want this frame? It may not be their "thing". Just imo but if you want to expand your collection, you should wait for those bikes to show up. Trading is tricky at a couple of bucks, at 10 g's I would call it a "loss" at best (In gambling terms). Just remember as stated earlier.. 10 K can buy quite a few bikes, even at full ebay price. Just seems like you may want to rethink your reason for "pulling the trigger" as your reasons for pulling it seem a bit unsound. If the seller lowers the reserve, it will say " next bid meets reserve" it wont lock in the current bidder.
  12. I did what was right for me, I dont regret it at all!
  13. The paint was far from perfect, yes it was chrome underneath the paint. When I sent it back they powder coated over the chrome. The paint didnt stick so well in places and was faded pretty bad. I didnt want to look at it in the condition it was, I want it to sit in my livingroom, like it sat in my bedroom when I was a kid. I want a NEW 1984 GJS Freestyler. I have restored alot of the original parts or replaced them with NOS parts that Era. At least I have a Photo from 1984 to show it was indeed Lavendar. In the original picture I have you can see the bottom of a poster I had hanging in my bedroom for the NEW Suzuki Quadracer for 1985. . When I brought the F&F to chip I already had the Forks redone locally, so there was no turning back. The redone forks weren't show worthy, so he redid those aswell. I plan on bringing it to shows next year.
