BTW, any of you aussies have a moose f/f, I have (will have) a lil' holeshot as a trade and I also have a NOS Diamond Back Kashimax MX seat as a part of the deal. i'm also after a gold nitto mxII stem, i have one which is nice, but its faded.

I really wanna moose

(i know i posted this before,but i forgot about the lil holeshot)

If you have one and have thoughts of a trade, drop me a line. gettin one from the US seems to be a costly procedure

Chris (prosight)

hey pete
on the subject of quicksilver hunts.
do you know of two 20" frames with twin downtubes (like the 24") that were made?

(or is my info crap and there were many made....i cetainly never saw one!)

There's a pic of a Quicksilver 20inch in BMX DOWN UNDER on page 30 top left side. it looks like a Quad copy...what is the go with it??????

Chris (prosight)

Hi guys, just got my home computer going again and thought I'd drop in. I've been watching the thread at work (can't log on there) 14 pages!!!! good stuff. Hey reece I saw the back from the dead thread nice job can't wait to see it finished.

Ron

Heya ron, yeah its still a f/f but i'll build it up soon, i've got stuck into my origonal quickie at the moment and I really want to complete that first but i will send you an email once its finished for sure!

Reece, just read your other thread "How far gon is too far gone?" wasn't that frame by any chance?

Ron

Yeah, i took your old frame to get acid bathed and he said "we cant chrome that". So i'm just hoping that I can find someone to do my origonal frame.

hey prosight what time is this bike show? what time do i need to reg? can i bring more than one bike? my emails screwed so post reply.... ta mate

Pete Porker - have you got a pic of those bars?

PS Guys: I am pretty sure I have the first three issues of BMX Pancake and issue 13 if that means anything.

-Andy

i hear that the first issue of pancake only just hit the newstand in NZ.

Prosight - the 'Quadquickie' was a one off made by 'Bear' who is the rider in the pic and the Quicksilver designer/welder. Fatnold - the twin downtube 20" were again a couple of prototypes he made, Wayne McIntosh is riding one in BmxPancake, plus a couple of other pics of other riders, some at a skatepark. Bear doesn't know where any of these are, as well as the - all tube helium filled 24" that he made!!!
Andy - email me so i've got your address and i'll send a pic of the bars.

Pancake issue #13 is also it's last issue.

Mr.BMX

Pete is that Bear thats the Fox suspension guy at Dirt works??

Pancake 13 is the last issue?

It has teh 1983 Trans Tasman race which was at my home track - Geyserland in Rotorua.

Very cool track.

I'm in one of the photos in that issue

Hi Andy,
Yeh pancake took a 'rest' after that 13th issue,
(they mention it at bottom of page 2)
then things fell apart and they never returned.

I believe some resources of pancake and other people joined forces to bring out "Australasian BMX News" which had a longer life by far.

Which pic is u Andy? not the dude biting the ground?

Hi All,
wow!!!
I haven't loged back in since page 3 or 4.
15 pages...*****in'.
Thank's Mr.BMX for the chrome plating info. I've decided to let the 'whacky Torker' stay as is. It's not worth the cost of re-chroming. I used to get my car stuff done at Harkrome in Sunshine area. Seems they must make enough money from bumper bars now to not worry about the other stuff...dissappointing!
Thank's also for the black Tuff's.
As for polishing, I polish all my own stuff and it comes out great! I recently bought an all aluminium 'Giant Mosh CU92' from ebay for my daughter and polished all of the Al components including the frame....looks awesome!
Would be happy to polish parts for others if wanted.
On that note...does anyone have a pair of pink tyres they'd be willing to let go? It's for the Mosh for my daughter.
I hope to get to the event on the 20th if I'm not working. Don't have a bike to enter but would love to see some of the old bikes/reminisce a little.
I used to race mainly at Altona and Werribee. Went interstate a couple of times.
Altona is still in existence, in its originality(Queen St, Altona Meadows) but overgrown with weeds, Sad!
At 6ft and 110kg I thought I was too big for a bmx so I invested in a new MTB. A Kona Hoss Dee-Lux. MOst like a P.K. I could find, made for the 'heavier' rider. Hee Hee Hee!!!
I had my eyes on a P.K in Texas. Guy was going to ship the entire bike for USD$60.00. Said if it cost any more he'd wear it. Modem cacted it at 3am when the auction was finishing. Bike went for USD$330.00.....Bleeding big time!!!
Them's the breaks.
Howard

pete, i know where 2 twin tube 20" frames are.
i'll try for some photos as a minimum.

Craig! TAKE ME TO THEM ! I'M IN SYDNEY ON SAT!!!!

did i say something wrong ? why have you all gone quiet ? !!

who farted?

I did.!!!!
hehehehehehe

Chris (prosight)

Im going to be up late tonight getting ready for the show......NOT

Mr.BMX will be up too 3am..hehehehe

Chris (prosight)

Hey Meatpie,

I was there, where were you?

I got all the good stuff! Just kidding, hope to have the next one at my place,I'll let you know.

-Pete.

Theres lots of pics from the downunder bike show here http://www.vintagebmx.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...ic;f=1;t=016724

Yeah Pete my car broke down!!!! I oganized a ride but then he didn't want to go!!! I really really wanted to go to ! Oh well i didn't have too much cash to spend anyway! See ya soon......Scotty

I just forgot...Does anyone know of any top alloy welders in OZ??? I want this PK 2 look new again!

Also the brakebridge

I have thought about sending it overseas but it could cost me $350 all up!! I don't think it's really worth it.
The dropouts also need some work where they didn't use
dropout savers.

Meatpie, if you really get stuck my brother is a welder with a shed in Kalanger (Brisbane North) and is set up to do aluminium, he hasn't done any frame repairs that I know of but if you need him as a last resort e-mail me. I've seen his work he might be able to handle it he's pretty good and would be alot cheaper than $350.

Ron

Thanks mate!! I really need someone that can do that style of welding.....Scotty.... Is there anyway your bro
can see this post?

Probably not he doesn't do the computer thing and lives on the other side of town, but I'll call him and try to explain it (he was bmxer BITD and will know what I'm talking about). Where in Brissie are you? cos' might be able to take it to his shed he's there most days.

Ron

anyone want to trade a set of RED NOS tourney calipers for MY gold NOS pair?

I've updated my home page slightly - more chrome like around the GT like logo and the slogan looks like the JMC font. A few more days for the action shots.

Hey GHP Aussie...

Warren, did you race out of blacktown in the 80's?

Yeah? did i buy your hutch hollywood off you bitd??

Wish i never sold it onto JJ.

Bruce

Meatpie,
My brother was over today and said it's do-able and he'll be over toowong in the next week or so. Send me an e-mail and I'll give you his number. He did say that business is busy at the moment so he might take a while to get to.

Ron
