ok fellas, until i can work out how to get pics on this forum, try here
http://homepage.mac.com/mhawthorne/PhotoAlbum1.html
first pics are of a resto of a mystery 24 inch cruiser frame. from weight, it's definitely cromo. any ideas what it is? ignore the redline stickers, they're off ebay. black frame is a kuwahara, silver is a supermax cromo.
i'll get some better pics of the id numbers on it soon, and some pics of the other bikes.

not sure on that frame hawkers, i had a look but nothing comes to mind
hey hawkers to post pics upload them to a site like that or photobucket
if using that site. right click the image and go to "copy image location"
then put it in the post reply with image tags either side
or go full reply form, then click the button that says "img"
it will give you a popup window and paste the url in there.
or if your using photobucket, you can select the address that is next to Img underneath the pic where the thumbnails appear. just copy that adress and paste it straight in hope that was of help.
also do you use a mac hawkers?
Thanks guys about the newschool graphites question, guess i'll just tell him to scroll the bay for the correct set then.

Hi Hawkers,
I think i went to bourkies bmx shop once in the early 80's...i can't even rememebr where it was in north mitcham....was it off Park rd somewhere?
It was probably the same day i rode at the tower-valley (warrandyte) track.
I mainly rode in the box hill/blackburn/doncaster areas...loads of tracks & jumps around there ;-)

bullyhotrod, tks for the info. yes, i'm a mac user, which means i can't right click anything, and i'm a muppet in windows. i'll try 2moro nite.
marty, shop was in mitcham road, in the group shops right at the top end of park road. either burke's bikes or bourke's bikes. nice guy. he sponsored a few bmx riders and a few road racers in the local area, and let the local kids inhabit his shop after school - he always had a couple of top bikes (i remember a redline carrera i wanted bad) and gave us free stickers. my mate jase says his son was a good racer.

As a recent convert to Macs I can give you some instructions about posting pictures here. In order to link to the photos you have on the .mac homepage just view the photo in the slideshow mode, move the cursor over the photo and hold the control key and then click the mouse and select the Copy Image Address. The control key/mouse click is the PC equivalent of right click. All you need to do now is paste that address between the tags like below.

WOW Jarvi.. is that your 24 inch redline? thats that is de S_H_I_T!! WOW.. not to sure about that seat post?
No that's one of hawkers that I used as an example. Only 24" I have is the Free Agent.
do you want to sell that nasty thing jarvi, lol
What's the saying, "if the horse bucks you off then get right back on and show who's boss." So, back racing it in a few weeks. Should have been next week but going back to Launceston for the weekend. All not lost though as I'll get to scoot around on the Quicksilver 24" and maybe the recently built Quicksilver Helium but not sure if I'll be allowed to ride that one.
Hey bullyhotrod86jh,
I have a set of new graphites flip/flops and they are really good. I got them from Ed at coloredtuffs.com easy to deal with and alot cheaper than getting them from here. You need to get the campy caps but to set them off.

Forgot welcome hawkers
haha yeah there not for me, i couldn't afford them, must agree, those flanges look awsome as all hell, thanks for the info. just i can't link him, and offer him to sign up because they had a great thought let's charge for new members, and since i dounbt he would stay. I wonder if it has stopped many so far seems to be to me. anyway any idea about those ukai steel rims in 2.125, i searched around and just can't find any details about them. Also with everybody getting into the springer bikes, does anyone need one I would be guessing it is that era roughly.
by the way i thought some of you were a bit obsessive, link

Kurt, I'm not sure of final plans but will be trying to catch up with a mate possibly Saturday afternoon. I tried to get him to put the word out just so some of us could catch up for a bit to eat and boast about a riding ability but I think I scared him off. Maybe a plan for sometime later as I am willing to make the trip. Just needs some-one to bite the bullet and pick a date and contact the old guys.
I also have a frame coming back from Roberto via Serva. Was hoping to get it today but Aust Post let me down. My first Haro.

Could someone please help me , I bought these on ebay and am unfamilliar with the centre hub unit does anyone know what it is? am I going to be able to bring it back to original 
did i miss something, was somebody judging bully,s collection, i havent seen it. the link was someone elses wasnt it, i take it we are talking about the video games
I see I'm about as aware as v8, the video game collection was not mine if that's what you are thinking broke, then no it's not my collection, I don't have that much room neither the amount that would've cost. but I don't see any wording on it, have i posted stuff of my own somewhere else, I'm not sure, i have been sick, and pretty tired lately so i guess i could've forgotten posting something.
my mistake,
there was a post with a link to a vid game collection I thought was yours. sorry I really need to change my medication
don't worry about me
