I was just wondering if anyone else justified a ridiculous purchase as a Christmas gift to yourself?

I just bought a pair of 1st gen GT cruiser bars. I have been trying for years to land a set. Hopefully they get here soon so that I can have something I "really" want under the tree. How bout you?

happy holidays

-Mike

I'll let you know tonight when all my auctions that I am bidding on are up.

Old-skull

YES!!! My bars just arrived! I am so stoked... it only took 4 days from New Zealand to New Jersey! I can't get stuff delivered that fast in State. Thanks MCAM I mean Santa MCAM. I will open these on Christmas Morning

Frame only, the rest I bought custom

No worries 84pk... Sounds like the bars are going to a good home!

I bought myself a set of NOS silver DX pedals. Unfortunately, they turned out to have used spindles in them, that are bent :/

So much for trying to be Santa

ouch.

off ebay?

Mine's a surprise to me and everyone else.

If you followed all the threads over the last few weeks, you might get a hint.

The fun thing is, pics of the final project will be hopefully
be available by NEXT year's holidays.

Finally, a Redline for the Profiler!

(hint hint)

Merry Merry Everyone!!!

Unfortunately, no.

i just got this today. brand new never been sold 2000 hydramatic.

I bought myself a 52" LCD 1080P TV and a Sony PS3 80 gig (Blue Ray) game system...

On the BMX side I bought a 26" Squaeback Champion that will be a very special custom build. I am also buying a PL24 and LRV. I went a little overboard BUT - I did not get anything for myself for my birthday.


This is the actual frame form this issue of Motocross Action. Keep your eyes peeled for it at Rockford!

Just received my ulitimate.sport-mechanic repair stand...Already have my next project on it.
Problem is my kids want their presents now! Oh well, have to wait till X-mas
Happy holidays ..Rick

I bought this for myself -


I just got it unloaded and taking it for a couple spins around the garage. I've been kicking the idea around for sometime to start riding and racing cruiser, instead of just a twenty. I was going to build one this spring. While out drum shopping for my son, I stumbled across this and the price was way to good to pass up. Its funny in all my years of BMXin I've never really ridden a cruiser or owned an aluminum frame so I guess I'm getting a two for one deal this time around. I was told it was either a 99 or 00 Proline Team Issue. The serial reads CS1H06500 any help from you Redline guys will be appreciated. It's all original except for the Answer Alumilite forks and the Sun Ringle sprocket.



Here is "The POOK" with his Christmas ham.

No biggies here that I got for myself, but I got everyone to buy me Vans this year. That was pretty cool.

Oh, and some stickers:

To add to what I had already:

OM Flyer:

Gotta love the OM. That Champion is crazy. I have never seen one of those before. Can't wait to see the build.

Got myself a late 90's OM Flyer.
110mm rear spacing, canti mounts, 1 1/8 head tube... and candy blue....Sweet!

Yes, Bought my Cook Bros Frame on Ebay last night........Finally

I will probably buy a couple sets of kos kruiser decals to finish that off and maybe an elina lightning bolt seat. also looking for a match set of tech 3 levers in red, blue, or chrome if anyone has some?

Agentheinz - the Powerlite head badge in that sticker stash is a MAJOR score. Good for you.

I didn't buy anything for myself, but my dad knew I'd been searching, and picked me up an "A" model Moto-Bike for Christmas. Way to go dad!

1st generation phils on there way!!

...im in alot of trouble.

Elf Double Cross Cruiser Frame and other bits. Grabbed it early to save Santa the effort of doing the whole chimney thing

Looking forward to getting some good wheelies done

Invisibleman1,

If you bought that for yourself, you are probably in trouble.

If you have a son, and you bought it for him, you are in big trouble!

rock on invisibleman 1, you only live once and you can't take it with you unless !!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day, I'll move up to a set of DWs. Next decent band gig down the road, that's what I'm putting my money towards. Well, either that or OCDP.

I spent too much money on myself. lol. Christmas was expensive this year. My new Kappa Z and over $600 in train horns for my Ghetto Cruiser aka 95 Cadillac.

Ahh, another from Brendan's collection!

A "Schwinn" frame and the "Trailer Park Boys Xmas Special" on video. I'll watch the DVD while I assemble the bike. Ah, good times.

I bought myself a Carlisle Aggressor MX tire, (Thanks Vettefan!) and a race ignition for my 104cc Honda CT70H.

I bought the one thing that has more potential to get me in hot water with the Mrs, Mike Erwin custom cue...its not the stick that gets you in hot water, its the pool playing lifestyle(5am+LOL)

well it's not that big a deal nor is it old school but i got myself a seatpost for the elf i am working on.

agentheinz - i love those bad boy club stickers

what kind of bike is that that appears at the first of the topic i reconize the stripes,,,but have never seen that kind of bike ,,,,,,,,,

It is made by KHE. A totally flatland specific frame. My first really. Everything else I have had was multipurpose.

Check out http://www.khebikes.com
They have a ton of cool inventions.

a pair of Chris King Hubs, Chris King Titanium headset, a pair of Johnny Chopper Profilesque cranks and a set of
Pauls brakes for my Kappa Quad cruiser

I have been a VERY good boy this year lol

Merry Christmas all

DINGO

After all is said and done(was bidding on 5 auctions). Walked away with a pair of DX pedals that need some love. Also missed a Redline chainwheel auction! Stupid me......the chainwheel went for $20 bucks!!!!


Old-skull

I feel asleep at the wheel to. Bad travel weather and i missed a nos pad for my quad project. Oh well.

I'm jealous. I didn't buy myself any bmx related items this Christmas.....

Nothing for myself, but working on something for a good cause in February.

Indiana wants me, but I can't go back there.

Indy,
First thing you want to do with that bike is take the bars off & throw them in the garbage. I have seen 3 pairs of those things break, the latest at our track this summer in 31-35 cruiser. The racer wasn't jumping, they just broke during a sprint & BOOM! Broken arm.
If you don't believe me, post this up in the race section & ask for feedback on those bars.

Merry Christmas!

b.

heinz-stick with dw...if you get bored of stuff like i do,the resale or flip value of dw's is almost the same as the day you bought them-funny thing is,i'm a guitar player....or should i say WAS...these drums are bonkers.
baron-i do have a son! he got a mini ludwig kit..and will be charging 5nov this summer! (but i might wait a year and get him more solid on his bike)

hope everyone has smooth holidays.

invisibleman - Awesome looking set of dw's. I just bought my son a set of pearls (export series w/cymbals) for Christmas.

Here is a pic of the Redline after a complete teardown and cleaning. I destickered it mainly cause they were beat and I think it looks better (for now). I replaced the headset with a FSA PIG, replaced the torn seat and put some big boy bars on. I just didn't care for the original bars to short and it made me feel like I was riding a roadbike (yeeeech). The bars on there may end up being to tall, but for now it sure is a fun one to ride and I'm looking forward to getting it on the track.



I still haven't gotten a solid answer on the year, everyone says 99/00. the serial is CS1H06500
