Hi there, first time caller ...
I'm in the UK, have a BMX in the attic at my mother's and have no idea what its worth ... can anyone help?
Just off the top of my head (I've not loooked at it in years but it should be in good condition) it's a chrome Skyway TA, from about 1984. It has Ukai Silverline wheels, Hutch hubs, Hutch bear traps, a Cook Bros crank, Oakley grips, a Uni ultralite seat and post (I think that's the name), diacomp brakes and it has the Skyway pads ... that's all I can remember for now. Obviously at the time it cost some serious cash. Are they still worth a fair buit now?
Thanks!

Maybe.
Check ebay, and the for sale forums for what these parts are currently going for.
Don't expect to get what you would have last year at this time. With the economy the way it is.
Yes , you could easily retire for what its worth.
Probably in the neighborhood of 1 million dollars!

1 million dollars! That's about right. I'll give you $1,000,075 to the US.

I'll give you $1,000,075 and a newly reproduced Bango

Wow! If that's what a repop Bango goes for, an OG one must be priceless!
