I reeealllllyyyy wanted that PL-24 lol.i paid alot more than i usually see fit to spend on bikes.Quite a bit less than 1000.00 thats for sure.

The price seemed fair enough although normally a hondo less woulda made me happier.The guy was selling his bikes to help his brother spend his time left with us a little better as he is dying from stage IV cancer at age 26.My wife at age 29 has stage IV cancer in her brain so I had NO issues paying full price.

paid 600.00 for the lot,i might have goofed but im cool with it.Two sets of the rims turned out to be oldschool,that made me feel better.

Well Barnes in st.lou said they can do no more since her tumors started growing again.Her oncologist in Springfield is going to try an anti-angeogenesis chemo.Things turned bad recently Steve but she feels great and we are still in the game.You might see my latest buildoff post for more info.

Great parts Great cause Great deal! My thoughts are with you and yours. I go in for my 1 year check in and imaging in Aug! I just pulled a stupid large haul of vintage BMX mostly NOS pads. You see something that works with your haul let me know and it will be on it's way! That photo doesn't even show how many were in there. Over flowing laundry hamper plus plus!!

I think I had that Manta Ray as a kid! Maybe it was the Ross. I remember black with some yellow on it. I beat the snot out of that bike.
