Well apparently whoever it is is part of a band called Wheatus hailing from the north shore of Suffolk County, NY.

One of the Wheatus dudes pops in here once in a while, had no clue those were his auctions though! I'm watching these...

I would trade my girlfreind and about 5 complete bikes for that Nomura/Bottema frameset!

He oughta call his band toohighofastartingbid..........

Yeah that!!! But I bet someone will bite on the Nomura. They don't happen too often.

Did you guys see this video by them?

The lyrics are about Nicole Kidman in BMX Bandits, and they refer to a JMC, Quadangle, PK Ripper, Diamond Back and more. Also the lineart main character is riding a loop quad! lol

Here are the lyrics. A lot of the big brands are mentioned.


Over and under we ride
In love with the suicide
Here we **** with disaster and
careful is something to hide
So come give this trick a try
push it faster you bastard and
Over this mountain you glide
No you're not gonna last If you can't push it past

Nicole
What's that you got is that a black Turbo Diamond Back?
A JMC Racing Bike?
Man I wish I had one like that.

Nicole
You stole my soul with your cute little bunny hop, your radical table top
Girl I wished you would never stop.

Nicole
I was only ten years old

Please leave your cell phone at home
It's just a broken collar bone
walk it off you big *****
And get your *** back on the bike
It's time to go lay some pipe
Or just watch me get nice
I’ma school you on how to get high
Then go home tell your freinds how you bite all my style

Nicole
What's that you got is that a black Turbo Diamond Back?
A JMC Racing Bike?
Man I wish I had one like that.

Nicole
You stole my soul with your cute little bunny hop, Your radical table top
Girl I wished you would never stop.

Nicole
You got this moto licked the Hutch kids are off the list all the Skyway's are being fixed walky talkies and stolen ****.

Nicole
Quadangle, PK Ripper, Webco and Mongoose rip Redline Proline is winning it but Nomura I so the ****.
Nicole I was only ten years old.

Is there a love in your life
Cause I wanna be your wife
It's a bird it's a plane
It's a bicycle up in the sky
You didn't say you could fly
Now I know where I stand and I'm
Tired of life on the ground
Loose my soul when I'm down up your ramp I am Found

Nicole
You stole my soul with your cute little bunny hop, Your radical table top
Girl I wished you would never stop.

Wheatus, huh?

They had one pretty good size hit a couple of years ago called "Teenage Dirtbag" (it's actually a pretty cool song). Wonder if these were bought when that song broke and are now being sold to pay bills?

-Rob

Wow! Put them on the list!

That's them?! I actually really liked that song! Cool.

One of the other bike companies I used to work for sponsored a band for about a year, they rode to all of their gigs and we supplied their bikes and bob trailers. They were called "Bicycle". Don't know if they are still around or not, but I like bands that have links/roots involving bikes........

and many more...

Wheatus is great, you guys should pic up their CD with BMX Bandits on it.

That (Hutch) is a rare frame, but it ain't a $2000 frame.

If I had the dough, I'd drop 4 large on that hutch. It's all relative.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the kind words and interest.....I'm unloading some stuff that I think would be better off with another daddy. Someone who's not so in love with DB Turbos.

Hope to catch you on one of my bikes at the rockfudge and we'll have a chat.

Thanks again,
brendan
