my new ride :-)

Bet you was expecting to see a jap motor wasn't you

I was scouring ebay for a bmx for my son, came accross this at a decent price so bought it.

Picked it up yesterday and when I got there, the guy had other bikes for sale, so I bought another modern bmx for my son, a mountain bike for my other son and I got this one for me to restore lol

Not sure of the make, but the model is a marlboro. 1981 bmx
Its a low end value bmx, the parts on it arnt anything like the ones I had on my mongooses, ralliegh burners etc back in the 80s.

I. Stripped it down within 30 minutes of getting it home lol

I'm going to source some decent brakes, crank, stem, handlebars, seat and seat pole and wheels...
Make it custom rather than a restore

Today I spent 3 hours stripping the paint off, its 90% stripped


I've orderd a few new parts, just gotta sell some more gtir shit to afford the rest of the parts I need lol

What ya think

What happend to buying something complete that you could just enjoy. .....eh eh eh the only thing missing is an engine stu lmao

old school BMX's are just as expensive as bloody GTiRs.

i built a replica Mongoose Supergoose off the move BMX Bandits. i sold the lot for 2k aussie (1300GBP)

kelvin

I'm the engine lieghton lol

Yeah the price of old skool mongoose parts are through the roof! Just for a frame you are looking at £150+ depending on the model.
I'm just doing a cheap restore on this one, then want to do a mongoose resto or a raliegh burner.
