Sold some stuff, and bought some stuff. Added about 10 Nice 1985-1987 BMX Freestyle bikes, and a few MX Dirt Bikes.

So it sounds like your shop is evolving. Maybe by 2025 you'll have a nice collection of retro mountain bikes. :mrgreen:

I guess you could say that. lol When I was a kid we where 10 years behind the times and had Banana seat hand me down bikes in my town.
Then we moved in the mid 80's and the new town I lived in was BMX Freestyle everywhere. I would say 1985-1987 I wanted one like my
friends but ended up building my own compilation bike. Mostly made of stuff my friends wouldn't use. lol Anyway, I decided I wanted a few of those
bikes that I couldn't have back then. Pretty much worked that out of my system now and am back on the Muscle Bikes.

I like your BMX bikes! Love that you have painted frames, I see so many chrome BMX bikes and I lose interest. Love the tires on the green one. :lol:

I got you one better, since it was designed by the designer of the DeLorean

that Blouson weighs a ton! more than my full suspension 29er. Were Delorean's that heavy too?

Yeah, it's a pig, I have one, it's solid. Imagine a bike made from galvanized pipe and you'd understand the feeling of it. The DeLorean came in at 2840lbs, not bad at all

Lot of changes since I first posted this.

You are running out of room RR!

Luke.

 

[todhunter]

Love the slugger hugger. Thinking of getting one for the Swingbike.

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Your bike room looks amazing!

 

[RailRider]

Thanks guys! I am running out of space. The building is too small for what is want to do. Like to get my Challenger in there in the middle.

I can sell you a Slugger Hugger direct a little cheaper. (or I can tell you how there made and you can make one a little cheaper than that)
