Maybe your wish will come true...

Santa Claus came to me already...he brought a 1.75 Black Diamond Back IRC tire. I think after 3 years, he did it so I would stop writing those pesky letters!!!

I think I should explain. In the near future, I may, and I stress MAY, start selling from a large inventory of early to late-80s racing and freestyle parts and bikes. Almost 100% of this is NOS, but there are some slightly used gems as well. My Redline 401s (link above) are just a trial auction.

I won't go into details, or answer questions, about who/what/why. The people I am helping out want me to keep those detail quiet. I would also ask that you keep your speculations about the source quiet as well.

What I am most interested in finding out is what you, the collectors, want. I know, for instance, that the Comp IV tires aren't going to be in big demand, given the glut in inventory a few years back. I can find out what is going to more money, just by checking ebay, and that will tell me what is in demand. But that only tells me about the items that are listed on ebay. I know for a fact that several of the items in this inventory are fairly rare and may not have been seen on ebay in quite some time.

And, yeah, money is an issue, obviously. I am not Santa. But, these vintage BMX parts aren't doing anyone any good sitting in storage either. My motivation is to 1) help a good friend, 2) get these parts into the hands of the collectors - the people that truly appreciate them and 3) donate a share of the proceeds to the non-profit that operates my local BMX track.

So, let me know what you are looking for and when/if I get this started, I will try to put the most asked for items on ebay first.

Thanks,
David 'GRIZZ' Griswold

Santa, I have been good this year.

Please stop laughing.
All I ask for is some pads. I really, really want a black frame pad for my twin top tube Cheetah. I also want badly-er than ever a blue Cook Bros frame pad.
Finally, get one of those lazy elves to make me a red Robinson frame pad.
Wait - get one of those lazy elves to find me an original 1970s red Robinson frame pad.

You're the best.

A purple Nomura. The last frame on my want list!

I am after either a set of new chrome Araya 7X rims, or a single Araya Aero 20x1.75 rim to partner the one I already have. That's all! smile.gif

Would it be OK if they were still wrapped in the Araya paper too? wink.gif

Ahhhhh maybe!




OF COURSE! I have had a failure in finding someone who can successfully chrome some NOS anodised ones, turning them from show to rider sad.gif , so these would be fantastic!

Hey guys...that is my current Christmas tree this year. It is a NOS 1985 HUTCH Judge...I have the grips and Aerospeed disc on the way. But...I don't think I have the heart to build it as it is only NOS once.

As far as the wheels go, I have seen the rims and hubs, NOS, but you would have to build them.
