The bike’s developed a bit of a creak and I’ve found a hairline crack on the bb down tube lug

Not really sure but think I can make it move a bit by flexing the cranks

I’m going to sand back the paint to see what the metal looks like but if it is a crack is it fucked?

Can you just fill something that that or is it new bb and tube/ weigh it in time

Look frame reduced to £90 it probably won’t fall apart and it says look loads on it

Very cool my mate had a Triban from decathlon with colour accents like that reminds me a bit of it

That’s the one, much more wholesome now I’m sure and everyone wears helmets

I was skinning up when one guy on a bmx asked me when I last skated and I said 05 or something and he said oh I wasn’t born then. Deadpan. Had to go for walk across the other side of the field to bun felt like a fucking nonce.

I went skating with a mate who’s kept it up last year, he’s moved to Reigate and they’ve got a class concrete park with bowl sections and big boxes and a bank of quarters and flats, miles better than the council offerings we had

He’s casually dropping into the biggest bits, 50-50ing the coping round the curved section and pulling big shuvits and kick flips over the boxes, all stuff I could sometimes do at 15 but terrifying now, after spending an hour remembering how to balance I was popping up onto a tiny 18” box and building up to manualing across it when I see the bastard pumping round at speed, big no grab air at least a foot above the coping on the quarter next to me then pops up off the box and does a perfect board slide along the top of the box rail and then down the other side, lands flawlessly and just circles away

There were half a dozen local kids banging their boards on the ground and shouting fuck yes, a 12 year old on a micro scooter asked him if he was sponsored

Pretty sure he would have taken 100 tries to do it again but I was so happy. King of the skatepark for an afternoon and I the prince by association

Ended up getting this

Excuse the shit picture and the mess

Wethepeople envy circa 09, quite a nice bike in its day with some decent parts, fairly good nick, just a few rusty bolts

Pottered down to the little skatepark in West Norwood merrily hopping over the speed bumps, perfect landings every time, did a little footjam endo at the lights, hopped up the curb and by the time I got through the park gate my back was spasming and my knee throbbing from getting banged by a crank or something.

By this point I was exhausted, nostalgia turning rapidly to ptsd, but there were youths vaping on the quarter so I felt I had to do something and with the bike growing heavier every moment I discovered in quick succession that I can barely bunny hop 12”, have not the gumption to even attempt a little box grind, completely forgotten how to fakie down the bank let alone turn around and then I hurt myself 4 times in a row trying a footjam tail whip which was once a party trick, and then I went home.

Need to put some hours in or this might be a for sale thread soon

Look 361 now for sale without the minimals which I have found another bike for

£100 ono with the 25mm Thomson that fits it and the kalloy

Offers on anything else welcome

Yes bro fantastic photos!

Thanks but is not quite for me I don’t think, new wheels and drivechain would blow the budget.

@lt Love how overbuilt they got in this era

Oh shit sorry, do you have any pics? Does it have a massive front ring? Thinking of going more new school than the haro I had bitd

Thanks both of you but think I need steel

Oh please sell me a bmx I’ve got too many bones.

If I can still do a 360 and not die I will do so fucking thrilled

Thanks but bit too rich/nice for me. Looks class though GLWS

I can’t stop thinking about a bmx. I haven’t had one for twenty years but in my mind’s eye I can still do cool stuff.

Sell me a bmx please, nothing fancy. Park & freestyle not racing or “pump track” whatever that is

Dibs farsports please

Grim. People are so foul.

Let’s all sit around at a safe distance and pontificate on the validity of other people’s lives. I’ve never given much thought to the integrity of women’s sports and now people in the pub garden are trying to bait me into condemning cyclists and weightlifters I’ve never heard of.

It’s not really good enough to say it’s not my fight though is it? An ally has to be proactive and it’s a duty to educate yourself.

Being trans isn’t doping. Doping is devious and a crime. Are we organising competition classes based on bone density growth during puberty to make a level field like weight classes in boxing and just calling them open and female now? Anyone can claim the science for their side I don’t know enough about anything.

Does it look a reasonable plan, on paper, in isolation from everything else? It’s toxic whatever they do it’s another missile in a constant volley of shit aimed at vulnerable people

I’ll fucking fight you if you say my friends aren’t who they say they are
