BMX - Lets see your little bikes.

I have an old Nirve Tempt that I'm finally resigning myself to getting rid of. I've only used it for the real extreme hardcore stuff like going to the park/shops/pub, hopping kerbs and riding down 4-sets etc.
It's certainly not flash, but it's still going strong and I will part for it for very cheap despite the childhood sentimental value.
Can post pics on Monday if you're interested?

Anyone got a curtis

Well I was dumping this lot at the scrapyard and noticed this in the pile. I love those weirdly shaped stays so had to rescue it.

Dibs the cranks

You need a one piece set? I got spares.

Anyone interested in buying my Fit Series 1 frame?

It's a 20.5" top tube, 14mm dropouts, usa bb (but I'm including a set of adapter cups so it can take a mid bb).

It's had the brake posts and cable stop chopped off. The bases for the posts are there so I was going to drill them out a bit, tap them and be able to fit removable studs but I never got round to it.

Few dents, one on the downtube, one on the r/h seatstay, some grinding scars on the r/h chainstay but nothing too bad.

Edit: Oops, price! Does £75 posted sound about right?

Edit: Gonna chuck this up on other places, maybe eBay. I’ll be asking for a bit more though so if anyone here fancies it gimme a shout.

If you object to me leaving this post up give me a shout too and I’ll pull it down. Cheers.

Wired up a cga-vga board to the jamma supergun, plugged in Punk Shot to test the video. Turns out I’m in the game.

Nice! Hoping to get my Redline built for the summer.
Which track is this?

It's in a little village called Broomfield, just south of Herne Bay in Kent. Its always in great condition and we usually have the place to ourselves @psg1ben It's a little hidden gem.

Erm I’m looking to expand my bikes / riding beyond dad bike functional Tesco + school runs - I cycle past a fairly iconic concrete skatepark every day - if I was going to buy a mid life crisis bmx what should I get / build for entry level riding ?

Don't know if mid life crisis and entry level mix but:

Something second hand with at least: double wall rear rim, 14mm rear axle, 3 or 2 piece cranks, small chainring (25 - 30 tooth), 21"+ frame (top tube) if you're any taller than 5 feet, maybe a rear brake to start with.

Are you London bas3d?

Thanks - great intel - I’m in the NW burbs near aforementioned classic concrete park - fully aware not a sensible idea!

If the park is good and busy then it's probably worth asking some riders around there as well. I tend to keep all the useable parts I've replaced incase something brakes

I suck at bmx, suppose I’ve been riding a solid year now? All race gearing, and cruising, posing, and errand running. I must accept even that is killing my knees and hips, but tricks is never happening.

However from this past year, I must echo the sentiment to get the longest frame you can. Also don’t let them laugh when you find yourself buying bars of up to 10” rise. The best thing I did on the GT was find some period-correct high rise knee-savers.
