Yeah the stuff I got has been under dads house for 23 years! Lots of dirt.
Hey Reece I got some red kkt's too from dads house.
I'm gonna clean the 'goose and hang it on a wall. I can't bring myself to build it now I realise what I've got.
So has anyone rung Universal Cycles and put in a list of wants? I know I have. I've seen the stash and trust me, you want to make a list and ring.

Coastvl I was just looking at your gooses I'm sure that the down tube decal, the red stripe always went at the top or first but not in this case??
Let me know if you want to off load that Redline stem. Nice find.
prosight
Aug 9 2005, 05:18 AM
i sent them a list about 1 year ago and **** all.......
they keep telling me they will ring.......
they had a HUTCH in the box for me and when i rang back they could not find it....
COASTY
Aug 9 2005, 05:32 AM
Im know what your sayin' about the stripe. I thought the same. I've seen them both ways so who knows. They have been on there as long I've owned it (1981) so i'm not sure what the story is. I know the frame was bought from ex competition developments guy Mark(?) Bradley. He worked at Champion Cycles where I was sponsored. He also sold my mate ,dean, the 2 twin tube quickies.
Go figure????
COASTY
Aug 9 2005, 05:33 AM
And Chris, I know they have a lot of the good stuff stashed away. I was told his daughter is saving it for the bay. I bet your hutch is on that pile.

Hey Chris - what's the deal bidding up on our turf man?
It's hard enough to get that stuff here without overseas bidders hiking the prices up.
QuicksilverBMX
Aug 9 2005, 06:42 PM
Post a link Andy, I gotta see it
prosight
Aug 9 2005, 06:46 PM
so NZ can only bid in NZ
the USA can only bid in the USA
and Australian's can only bid in Aust
come on Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your a JOKE
AndyDiamond
Aug 9 2005, 07:42 PM
Nah - all is fair on ebay and stuff.
What little we DO actaully have locally would be nice to keep here.
It's hard enough forking out big bucks with the excahnge rate + shipping to get stuff from overeas as it is.
At least locally we may have a more level playing field without competition and big spenders from off shore.
Give us at least our own piece of the action, even if it is thin on the ground is what I'm saying.
prosight
Aug 9 2005, 08:10 PM
Andy....just let me know if you need it and ill stop biding
