So here am I am out in the garage on Tuesday night just minding my own business and I get a text from forum member tuga (Marcos).
He sends me an Ebay link and tells me I better jump on it quick. I click on the link and it's for a chrome Moxie Monoshock listed with a BIN of $400 and it's 50 miles away. :shock: I ask him if he planed to buy it and he said he wasn't going to....thanks again for the heads up. :wink:
I stood there and pondered it for about 30 seconds.....and then pulled the trigger. After quite a few back and forth conversations with the seller we finally met up yesterday for the exchange.
I just sold my red NOS Moxie to a friend of mine and he didn't want the Araya moped wheels with the Carlisle Aggressors so I hung onto to those for a future build....this one apparently.
The seller said that he was working at a guy's house recently and they got to talking about bikes and the guy showed him his childhood bike hanging in the garage covered in about an inch of dust and dirt. The owner asked if he knew what the bike was worth and him not being a 70s BMX guy, he told him he wasn't sure. In the end the seller bought the bike from the guy for almost nothing and eventually decided to sell it on Ebay.
Here's how the bike looked when I got it home yesterday...
And here it is after swapping out the wheels/tires, stem and pedals. (yes Justin it's the same stem :lol: )
Ended up pulling out the whole fleet last night and taking a group shot...
So I've pretty much cornered the marking on bikes with springs.
The Yamaha is going to a friend tomorrow so I'll be down to three springy bikes.
