Bikes - BMX

[Nilz]

Hi

Anyone here into BMX bikes??

I have been looking into them and am trying to get an old school one to get out and about on again.

I used to have a couple as a kid, then got into mountain bike, but am liking the BMXs again.

Does anyone know where I could get one at a decent price or where to look, alot of the forums I have seen are abroad and not UK based.

Cheers
Nilz

Cheers guys

Im more after a Raleigh Burner or a Mag Burner if I can, but the prices on them are crazy!!

I will not be using it all the time, so dont want to put money into it for it to be gathering dust.

I had a load of BMX's when i was lad, and the only new one was a Raleigh Ultra Burner

Id like another, but too old at 33, my mates and neighbours would kill me

Dave, 33 aint old mate!!

Im older than that and am looking for one.

My sons just had a bike for Xmas, so I want to get one to go riding with him and so I can keep up with him, rather than running and shouting at him LOL!!

Ive been on that site too, some mint examples on there.

 

[david7m]

LOL.

I'd feel old when I tried a stunt and face plant into the tarmac

Haha Dave, im thinking the exact same thing, I have to be extra cautious as I know as soon as i try anything my boy will end up trying it and we will both come home cut up and bruised and get a b0ll0cking off the missus!!! LOL

Alansbmx.com took most of my money as a kid! Sure it had an old school section back then!

 

[nervus]

I'm 39 and still have a bmx!!! i race road, cyclo-cross and mtb but there will always be that kid in me who found freedom from a bmx so i thought f**k it im having another!

I have a Macneil Gary Young 2 frame for sale £35 nearly new! its on ebay

 

[imotepify]

Me n my boy (10) have built up an old GT frame with new parts for him 2 hack about on, was good fun! Back in the day I had a Raleigh super tuff burner and loved it. Think they are remaking them now?

Used to be heavily into BMXing, although never had a good bike until my Commencal Village Ltd Ed. I did have an '82 Supergoose, given free by a woman whose son passed away. She thought my brother and I would have more use for it.

Digging jumps in the rain....ahhh the memories.

Haha, Ruption. Excellent. They always had weird names in the mid-late 90s. I had a Dyno Compe (street on sticky KHE Lamellos) and a Haro Shredder (dirt bike with knobblies) (and the Supergoose), then the Commencal. Commencal was the best for everything. My mate (rich kid) had a Mongoose DMC which weighed about as much as my Audi.
