Anyone got any old bmx's???
Hi there, I collect old bmx's from the 70's and 80's. Anyone else collect bmx or want to trade/sell bmx parts for road bike stuff?
hmm m
ok so i am a big mongoose fan and this is my website vintagemongoose dot com i cant post pics till im tall enough to reach the buttons!!!! edited Admin says.... I can reach the button for you  URL is linked.

After talking with Karen I have decided that I wouldn't mind having a crack at a Mongoose rebuild, but there are very few hard rubbish cleanups out here in the sticks & when there is, the resident must pay, so there are very few piles of treasure even then. The local recycling center at the rubbish dump has bikes but they're all rubbish, so I just keep my eyes open & gain inspiration from the small number of BMX types that I am overhauling to add to the bike hire fleet at the local bike hire/cafe.

Carbine & SJH cycles, & Quicksilver BMX
Now that's AUSTRALIAN to the core.

Oh dear, looks like Karen is being indiscrete & you have been 'outed' That's a fabulous collection you have there, ... I'm as envious as hell. [I counted 36 whole bikes in this picture & it's only one side of the shed.] Last edited by Kid_Carbine on Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:35 pm, edited 1 time in total.

WOW!
That's so cool 
Shaun ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

That's a sight to behold!
I recently bought a late 80's redline rl340, as it was my dream bike as a high schooler with no disposable income. I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for a cheap (hah!) pk ripper, preferably without a cracked seat tube (did they all let go there?). Just out of curiosity, how much would an early 80's 'goose have sold for when new? internet experts: ruining bikes since '10 | http://www.redbubble.com/people/munga
Looks like I am going to have to stop overlooking all those old BMXs on hard rubbish searches now. DANG!
  Could've picked up a Raleigh with 'Tuff' (?) wheels the other day.....
EDIT: In the meantime, here are a few, more contemporary BMXs I've picked up  Just Ride
I just acquired a couple of early 1980s Mongoose Kos Kruisers, which are a 26" BMX.
I am doing them up and was surprised to find that you can buy replica decal sets for them on eBay. Does anyone else here have a Kos Kruiser ? I noticed that a frame and fork set sold on eBay over the easter weekend for $600.00 A. Last edited by woteva on Mon Mar 31, 2008 4:52 pm, edited 1 time in total.
1981 Mongoose Kos Kruiser x2
1991 Shogun Ninja (105) 2012 Mongoose Kos Kruiser 1984 Repco Nishiki Tri-A 1991 Repco Victory Tri-A Bridgestone T500 Koga Miyata Prologue Repco Superlite X2
Are you sure it actually sold?
There was a chrome frame & forks that did not get a bid with $600 as the opening bid price It was a bit ambitious I thought & apparently, so did everybody else. Oops, it was relisted & it sold the second time around. Carbine & SJH cycles, & Quicksilver BMX
Now that's AUSTRALIAN to the core.
There is a complete one on eBay in the US at AU $827.17 so far, with 6 days 18 hours to go. Kos Kruiser A. 1981 Mongoose Kos Kruiser x2

'Indi 300' - cheap department store bike I recall rehashed every so often. Might be a cheap transition bike for kids wanting to go from a restrictive single speed BMX to something a bit 'sportier'
