Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

The saddle isn't bad on that hutch...

So far the bike has 183 individual parts which I have gold plated myself, and I still have a few parts to do.

What you do behind closed doors doesn't concern us....

ba boom tish!
was over spitalfields as it happens, bumped into a whole 'crew' from midlands on vintage bmxs, haro freestylers, pk rippers and gts etc, owner was older than me (seemingly) and my size, and i've been keeping em peeled for a trickstar, one pink one was in usa with ww shipping, there was a race one and trickstar available over there for the price of the pink frame, a fucking bargain, but no global shipping (
the owner of the chrome one was pretty market aware, there was one refurbed example listed in uk @ circa $14k, guy i spoke with doubted this price would be realised, saying ceiling price was about 30% of that max
arguably the most prized vintage freestyle bmx
the gold frame is listed on the bay, quite a machiavellian listing, as all the parts are stated as available, with poa, if some one does buy, they may be inclined to go full bling, one wonders what the total price would be

Yeah Bob Haro had a thing this weekend in Hoxton Gallery, I was going to go, but I ended up bumping into Rodney Mullen, and seeing as I love skateboarding more than bikes, I ended up skating with the Globe shoes team all day!
There seems to be a big retro bmx scene in the midlands, Birmingham especially, every summer they'd all be out cruising the streets, someone had a pink hutch and it's made me want one!

Haro have re issued the master/freestyler recently

the bay pink trickstar is metalic , which i prefer over the other pink, a scandanavian bmx blogger has one i think he sourced in that region
this is the bay one

#notanti

I need e one of those haro's

the og ones looked the bollocks on their ride out tbh
this is the other pink

there is a 2015 tribute trickstar, sans front pegs and rear platform i think

i'll grab me coat now

From t'Bay, "Great super lightweight racing bike" oh dear....

· Titanium enhanced carbon frame · Cosmic Elite wheels ·
Michelin tyres · Shimano 7 Speed Revoshift gears · Hissar
headset · The frame is in excellent condition and weighs next to
nothing · Needs new pedals and a couple of other alterations to
make a great super lightweight racing bike · Item can be posted
but would prefer collection!

Would commute on.

What on earth is going on with the geo of that? It looks like a lo-pro with a 700c fork.

that whole brand is a joke

Design & technology haven't advanced much in the last 25 years at Viking.

Blue rams, red tape, yellow cables... and one of those things behind the gears on the rear wheel that my early 90's Townsend MTB had.

Did they look at a bike before they build one? Even the photographer didn't do it's job. Not on the big ring, bars not level. Ugh. Not even talking about the fork and the weird angle of the headtube or the huuuuge gap between the tire and downtube.

:(

Could have been so nice

So close, yet so far away.

Spotted this beauty last night at Red Hook:

"Looks awesome bro." "Sick build."

Reddit.

Is that road shoes with mtb cleats, for the best of...no worlds.

It's the mismatched gold watch that really does it for me

What is in 'sac magic'?

road shoes with mtb cleats

I actually quite liked my PD-7410s, but you can't get many road shoes which natively support them these days

I think I need one of those DA gold wheels, are they NJS?

definatly catch a jap's eye
