i've had luck selling stuff on bmxmuseum.com but you have to pay like $20-30 for a year of pro membership to post in the for sale section.

but yes, i miss buying and selling on bikeguide. the first ever frame i got with an integrated headtube was from someone here, it was free and on my bithday...i was stoked

Bikeguide is dead because of you. Sheep should stop saying server fees.

Pretty sure Kurt from BMX Union has been footing the bill for many years, bu tyour point is valid. Sheepdog has been gone for a long while, but I'd love to know what he's up to these days!

I was just joking but this used to be really great for reviews and advice on parts. I have came in and out over the years but I wish there were more resources out there

Since this place and BMX-Forum died I haven't had a lot of luck buying and selling used parts. FB Marketplace is full of morons who don't know what the top tube size means let alone how to measure it. I used to buy used bikes off of CL and sell/trade what I didn't need on here back in the day. FB groups are half full of scammers and super disogranized...

Facebook groups are insane, during and after COVID people were buying and selling each others stuff with insane inflated prices. Everyday it seems like someone complains about being scammed and every time they sent money friends and family.

So what I am saying is if someone here wants to sell me a clean 21 inch S&M made T1 Barcode with Mid bottom, I will pay an inflated price.

I did it for a while with the Profile shouldered peg 3/8ths bolts and bent 3-4 bolts in probably about a year period while not riding my 20 a whole lot. 

I'm super sketchy though and eat shit on handrails and clip uprights...

Is Profile still using 3/8-16? The coarse thread bolts are weaker than the fine 3/8-24 Odyssey uses...way deeper roots on the threads.

Yeh, they are 3/8 16 thread.  Funny thing is, I haven't broken any of the bolts.  I've just bent a couple near where the thread meets the bolt head.

Our town just built a new park, might have to get back into it too.

I grew up with barely anywhere to ride, and now brand new concrete parks have been popping up EVERYWHERE around New England over the past 5 years. Managed to drag a few old friends back into riding.
