Sorry this isn't a thread of its own, I need verification before i can do that-
**FOR SALE - Vintage 'Dogtown' Style 70's Skateboard
**
This is a skateboard i put together from vintage deadstock parts all sourced seperately. This means it is brand new but with old parts that have been sitting in a warehouse for 30 years..
It is great for cruising around in the summer, the soft wheels and narrow trucks give it an awesome loose 'surfy' feel, and it is smooth on almost all terrain. I don't think you could ollie it comfortably but it is great for slides/berts, cruising down to the shop, bombing a hill etc.
I'm selling it because its one of 3 skateboards I own and i could really do with some money!
It's put together as follows
Swilken Deadstock Deck- Original 1970s 8 ply deck. It was so fresh when i bought it i had to drill the trucks on myself! All properly done, straight as anything, no worries there. Original Swilken factory grip tape job on top too, looks beautiful. I bought it for £90... Only wear/tear are 2 tastefully placed stickers and a bit of tail schralp - nothing substantial though.
Bennett Vector Trucks - High quality 1970s deadstock trucks, all original parts apart form fresh rubber which i put in for obvious reasons.
I payed £40
Tunnel Rocks Wheels - The only part that isn't deadstock, but a re-issue, meaning the rubber is brand new but molded from a vintage design. Awesome, amber coloured, like the cadillac wheels in the Dogtown Movie. I payed £30
Bolts and Bits all new, philips head perfect length.
Bones Swiss bearings - One of the highest quality bearings on the market, super fast, super smooth, and super reliable.
Ideally I would like £120 or more for this skateboard. If there is enough interest I will sell it to whoever gives me the highest offer.. Otherwise PM me and we can sort something out.
I am in Central London, pickup would be ideal, but can post/paypal if you cover postage.
