Only picture I can find of my old solid. I bought it off lobbster on here ages ago. It had a 20.25 toptube and a 13" backend, it lasted 4 years of heavy use between a friend and I but unfortunately snapped at the headtube in the end.

For me personally: finally finishing uni after 5 years and starting my first real job.

For me and everyone else: Glastonbury! It's going to be pretty wild.

The Lounge / Re: UK riders...Selling bike need help working out prices as complete or parts

« on: January 12, 2015, 06:28:18 AM »

I would say more like £350 for the complete bike. Second hand BMX prices are pretty low, especially with how old some of your parts are. If you sold it all separately you might make a bit more but it's hard to say.

If I was you, I'd just hold onto it unless you really need the money. From my experience, people always regret selling their setups.

I quit my shitty nightclub job last month, it was fucking liberating.

I called up my cunt boss and told her I was on a bus to London and wasn't going to be in because I had better things to do.

She even called me up the next day asking if I wanted to work this shitty house night, I told her to get fucked.

Working for twats on minimum wage till 5-6am in the morning is not cool.

I drank lots of tasty gin last night and I'm also in a horrid state today. Everything aches and I'm shaking like a shitting dog. I guess it is just the price you pay for being a fucking badass.

I haven't ridden a bicycle or been to the gym since August, I feel horrid. I had to sit down three times the other night on a ten minute walk home, my dodgy knees are killing me. I'm working my first bar shift at a local club tonight, not sure how I'm going to cope being on my feet for 8 hours completely sober.

I have ben's old warpig, a standard STA ox plat, an 04/05 barcode and loads of other shit.

The market is definitely looking up. I sold some late series Hoffman Love Handles on ebay for $225 Canadian dollars over the summer.

I started building up my barcode, all I need is a new chain, some spokes and something to bend my tech 77 and I'll be rolling.

Ice pick on a ledge on top of another ledge. Stolen from a newspaper website in terrible quality.

Locked my bike up in town on Wednesday, got really fucked up and lost all my keys. Walked through the centre of Bristol in broad daylight with a pair of boltcutters and snipped my lock. No one batted an eyelid. Then I took the train and visited my sister in Oxford.

I'm gonna order the cyclops stem as soon as Empire has it. Might get a group order going for the UK/EU bikeguide guys if you want in. That way we can get less fucked by shipping charges ect.

I'm pretty sure it would cost more to post it from Ireland than it does from the US almost. If people are down for a group order, we could pool together and get them sent to my mum, no VAT and no customs charges, gotta love tax havens.

I've got some revenge brakes and a tech 77 but I'm going to have to wait till I get paid and the cyclops stem comes out before this gets finished.

The honourable Dr. Zoidberg sent me a MAAS barcode the other day.

I've got fly cranks, solid headset, 39t T1 power gower sprocket, chrome pitchforks, T1 bars and a primo seat and post waiting at home for it. Hopefully, I'll be able to get these fully Ti'd out profile hubs off my friend too, it's going to be rad.
