WTB - 80's or Early '90s BMX Bikes - Please Read!
Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy at least one, maybe a couple of old-school BMX bikes. If they haven't been ridden in a long time, that's perfect, since I really want them to rebuild. Even if they're a little rusty or scratched, it's cool - I'm not building showpieces, just quality rider bikes. I'd like to show my students how they work and maybe teach them a few things, so if I had a couple of project bikes available that would be awesome.
Anyway, I trust you guys here and figure if someone wants to offload their old bike, you know it'll go to a good home in my garage. You can see pics in this thread here of what I've done with my '85 Mongoose resto - http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=61217
I'm interested in late '80s-early '90s stuff - Mongoose Experts or Menaces, Dyno VFRs, GT Mach Ones, Diamondback Vipers - those kind of bikes. It can be freestyle or regular BMX style. I can't afford Hutch prices, unless you're giving it away for pennies on the dollar. I'm realistically looking to spend $100 or less (preferably less ;) ), because I need money left over in the budget for tires, tubes, grips, brake pads and cables, and other odds and ends. I'm not really into newer bikes - I like the simple lines of the old stuff, that's why I'm looking for '80s-early '90s specifically. Even if you just have parts - maybe a frame and forks, a set of wheels, or handlebars you wanna get rid of on the cheap? I might be interested if i can piece together something with what you guys have available.
Please PM or post with anything you have that I might be interested in, thanks!!
