Bought a humuhumunukanukapau'a.
Bought a Lemond (and snapped it)
Bought a Litespeed (and rode many thousands of miles on it)
Bought a Van Tuyl!!! And have enjoyed riding it immensely.
Only 2 - Ti 456 and Soul. Both great.
Where do people get the money to swap bikes so often? You must lose money on each one!?

njee20 - MemberWhere do people get the money to swap bikes so often? You must lose money on each one!?
Not bikes, usually just frames njee20, and sure I lose a little on each one but hey, I reckon it'd cost close to that to hire one for a couple of weeks - I just look on it as money well-spent on entertainment 😀 (I don't 'do' shoes or handbags so why not?)
mamadirt, got pics of the retro BMX?
Which one tinsy? The mid 90s S&M was my last restoration (stripped and resprayed the frame and built it up with mostly NOS stuff off ebay and radbmx.co.uk

The more recent 2002 NG dirtbike I bought as an NOS frame off ebay and built it up pretty cheaply with the plan to buy period correct stuff when funds allowed, but it's on ebay now as I know it's just gonna cost me megabucks in the long run to get it as I'd like it.

Spent silly money on a Hutch resto too a few years ago (sheesh that bike was fast) . . .

Tinsy, have a look on [url= http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php#3 ]radbmx.co.uk[/url] if you fancy rebuilding an MX2.
njee, some people are not so precious about money.
it, like bikes are a commodity, and like bullshit, are of no use unless they are spread about. 😉
"Where do people get the money to swap bikes so often? You must lose money on each one!?"
njee - wasn't it you that claimed not to have lost money on a
bike in years?
njee, some people are not so precious about money.
