Anyone Else Into Old School BMX

I tried moving this one in the house but she wasn’t having it.

 

I’m very much in love with beautiful machines

 

True as well, not sure if there's a safe way to store them..

Hmm good question, don't have any myself unfortunatel

 

There is a set currently listed on the museum. Here's the link.

Prices for lots of parts have been going up. There is a mid 80's GT seat clamp that I've been wanting but didn't want to pay over $40. I saw a few in the $60 - $80 range but they needed work. Now they all sell for over $100. Nice ones around $150. Looks I'm going to use something else when I start building up my parts pile.

 

I've seen one of those before

 

I to tricked the wife into accepting what "modern art" is. lol

 

I've seen your avatar before..about 30 or so times

 

Thanks for the link. That’s exactly what I’m looking for really. I hope I get outbid on eBay for the front that’s on there now, those look to be in great shape.

 

Thanks for the link. I luckily missed out on the eBay one so I picked these up.

 

Was just about to do the decals and realized the blue/sea foam color didn’t match. Not sure if just wrong repops or for a different color bike.

 

Or maybe different year?

 

I thought that too but both the sticker from Taiwan was 1987 just like the one I have.

 

Got the pro class 48’s in today. Awesome upgrade that only makes sense once it’s done

 

Nah it made sense to me all along..not a huge alloy person but they just looked right on some bikes and that's one

 

The first bike I bought with my own money, and also the last bike I bought. I almost got rid of it a few times over the last 25 years, but, it held too much sentimental value to me. I decided to shine and lube it up now that my kid is learning to ride. I'm getting back on it again but gravity isn't quite how I remember it being when I was younger. I grew up idolizing Dave Mirra, and wanted a Haro, but the town bike shop didn't carry them. Since every other kid in town had a redline, or a GT or Mosh/DK, I wanted something different and went 3 towns over just to buy a Haro. I was the only kid in town that had one for a while.

Those handle bar grips are also 25yrs old. I can't believe they're still in decent shape, besides the end being cut/ripped off.

 

I’ve checked out the BMX forum and lots of those guys are Porsche guys as well. Any here?

 

That’s a clean bike. I wanted to buy a root beer color one about 20 years ago but my wife talked me out of it. That was the last time I listened to her.

 

There was that and the big gorilla looking spyder jacket. I regret not buying both.

 

She stays pretty mad now days because I do what the fuck I want without asking

 

Bought this for my 14 year old and she hit the roof
