Anybody out there have an old school BMX bike laying around? Iam looking for 80's or 90's style. Early 80's would be GREAT!!! Chromed framed would be nice. Painted are ok. Complete bikes would be a plus!! No rust buckets, please. Looking for Redline,Haro, PK Ripper, Robinson, Mongoose,GT, Skyway,Royce Union, CYC Stormer,or Schwinn(Scrambler). My current project is complete, in need of another one.

Are you looking for a full size or mini? Would you consider an Elf? Have one of both (full and mini) ... the mini is complete race ready and the 19 is complete ... both in great/excellent shape

I have a Robinson Amtrac with Redline flight cranks (185mm), dk hubs, etc. It is one of the few bikes that Gary Turner actually did the welding on before he passed away. Might be willing to let it part if the price is right.....

i gotta late 80's haro group one. Redline 3pc cranks (175), Shimano pedals, GT pro bars, can't remember the rim manufacturer;i wanna say ichiban or something like that, layback post , etc...
it used to be green, with the back half of the frame being chrome. All the green is rattle can black now, and the forks were sprayed with a red.
lemme know if you're interested. I tried to send you an email, but it isn't an option in your profile.

Milton04, the bike sounds nice. Your located in Georgia? I was kinda looking for something around here in SoCal. Something I can just go and pick up. I've been looking on ebay, but dont realy want to have to pay for shipping. Sometimes it costs more to ship then the actual product.I did find 2 nice bikes from someone on here a while back.Cool guy, by the way. I bought an alum. GT(which I gave to my oldest son) and a Haro which I just finished. Not into reselling. Just restoring and collecting. Can you post some pics? Iam interested to see what it looks like. THANKS!!!

Check out the Long Beach swap meet once a month. There are gems there if you show up at 430 in the am.
My buddy picked up a Hutch chromed bike, original cranks, handlebars, rims etc. for 40 bucks. He cleaned it up and sold it for $800 (!)
This marked it skyrocketing along with 70's skateboards. He just was offered 20,000 for 18 Dewey Weber skateboards he's been collecting for the last 3 years. He has 3k in to the set. Not a bad hobby to be in.

Brings back good memories- I had a Rampar that my folks bought for me on a trip to the beach as a surprise. Great memory. The hot ticket in our area in the day though was the Webco. Redlines were rare but coveted.

I'm looking for an inexpensive, decent 24" BMX bike so I don't have to put on SPD's to go ride with my 3 year old. Also I have the itch to do some dumb stuff. Apparently I've forgotten how bad a broken collar bone feels. :rolleyes:
I also have a 24" Freeagent ... But it's pretty cherry ... $250 & it's yours, everythings in great condition, I'm just moving over to Schwinn Cruisers ... old age ya know!

Busby, Thats bad azzzzzz!! Is that the one you want to sell? My camera broke. I WAS going to post a pic of my Haro I just finished. Oh well!! Off to Pop warner football(meet the coach day). I have tables and ez ups to set up. One of the GREAT benefits of being on the board!! Get there early and leave late. No Havasu for me this summer. :mad:
No, someone I knew did that one ... but there is a market for these ... they're selling for $1500+ in some cases ... retro stuff keeps coming back ... I'll post pics later.

Ive got this for sale. Its an 03(i think) OM Flyer. Its got PK decals. No stock parts other than the frame forks & neck. Custom cruiser bars, 3 piece poverty cranks, 26"(yes 26, not 24) Velocity rims(mountain bike parts) with billet hubs, built in chain tensioners, hoffman sprocket, dk tenderizers. Built it with the intent to jump it but never got around to it. Ive got a set of marzocchi forks for it too but never put them on. Some minor scratches from storage. One of a kind bike that is a definite attention getter. Would cost $1000 to duplicate.

I have a chromed out diamondback, I was going to get original pieces for it. It has the bearclaw pedals, GT 3 piece crank and GT hubs. I dont know what to do with it though, sell it or fix it.
BUSBY, those bikes bring back memories...of good times. :)
The ELFs were the high end bikes back in the day. I remember lifting my friends with my pinky and thinking how bad ass it was.
Yeah ... the ELF's were the chit! (And still are if you can find them :D )
They're super super light ... but mains are made out of 4130 chromoly ... super super strong!

Your post here spawned my interest. I started to look into some of the old bikes that I had as a teen. My favorite was a GT that I had custom built in 83, but what I didn't realize was the JMC that I bought in the summer of 84 was probably one of two Darrell Young Design bikes that where offered in 1984. I remember the GT was about $500 and the JMC was around $750. I had been sponsered by dad to race. I was good, but not really good enough for a $750 JMC. I remember not riding the JMC much because I didn't want to hurt it. That JMC would be worth a mint right now! Wish I could find out what happened to it.
