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 don't have a big interest in gathering a collection of midschool shit, but I think my bike is definitely more midschool-minded in build. I am always on the hunt for 33t sprockets and railed seats.

My white whale currently is a 33t DK Iron Cross or Iron Cross Light Sprocket. Someone help me out.

May be able to help you out there.

I'm building a bike shop in my basement, in a odd, narrow room that wasn't really good for anything else, obviously still pretty rough. I'll have more time to work on it this winter.

i've bought & sold many bikes over the years. had a few hoffmans, including a flash that was going to be remodeled into a dave young tribute (still have the haro grind disc), but i've moved a bunch over the last 5 years and sold all of them.  i still have my first taj & AOD, and a couple random old sprockets but i guess i just don't have the room or care to collect much. i'd love a US-made orange general lee, and i'm always looking for old fbm/T1 clothing & stickers, as far as bikes/parts i fall into the "if i'm not gonna ride it regularly, sell it" crowd.

I still had my flame-sticker Condor in Dad's garage until it joined all the other cobwebbed things at the scrap yard. Kneesaver II's, one inch Superforks, OG Tenderizers on one piece cranks, Grind Disc with the guard modded from full guard to quarter guard

I had a Volume Destroyer when I started up again in '06 but I donated it to a charity figuring a BMX kid with a broken frame could use it

The only thing I have left from my 90's riding is my GT Mallet and memories

I had to stop, I have like 6 frames and no space.. I would still buy. All of (Nitromors?) T1 stuff if I could though.. I also regret selling my OG T1 Byrnes on here.. I made about 50 bucks after shipping costs and it kills me to this day..

Its new owner did a fucking killer job with it though..

Also, Bobby.. If somebody wants to buy my Elf I'll send you nug, booze and candy haha.

I don't really collect but I recently rebuild my 2004 S&M blackbike and it feels awesome riding a 10 year old frame. Best part is the ''new generation'' all drool over the high standover height and love it, that is, until they try to do a manual with the rear wheel at 14,25''.

I'm guilty of this for sure.  The one thing that bugs me about the museum crowd is the lack of riding the actual bikes.  I have the bikes I thought were cool when I was younger.  I have had fun riding all of them.  Granted I ride some more than others, but they still get ridden and used.  FWIW I posted a pic of me riding the monocoque on BMX Museum and got a serious hate message about it.  (That I was abusing a "classic")

I don't collect, but I generally like the parts from 04-06 better than current stuff. I've got 3 of the good old school Tioga Comp III's in my basement and a 1999 Standard trls250 with custom 14mm drops and a 21.25 top tube.

I really want to get my hands on a good condition all black Primo hemorrhoid seat or maybe a coalition seat.

would rather watch the olympics if i want to see a black guy jump things, least they don\'t have the mentality of a beaten 13 year old.
