I bought a Pro Neck Bulldog stem off of ebay and the seller didn't have any good pics of the bottom. I took a chance and of course it was hammered.  The thing that brought it all together was the FREE D.C. MX clamp that he included in the sale with NO pics at all.  It was mint.

Got some wheels once and the front wheel shit itself within a day, ceasing up and chewing up the bearings. Bought replacement wheels and they turned out to have cracks in the bearing seat inside the hub.

Bought some used single pinch Redline crank arms off ebay few months ago. They rocked up with included: Techmatic BB, double dimple spindle and a full decal sheet.

i bought a super clean 1983 quad on ebay back in '04'. i emailed the seller to ask a question and the lady told me she would include a set of cranks with the bike. i paid 320 for the frame (and perfect cammo frame pad) and these showed up in the package

Nice!!

So far, Vintage Chromoly wins!

I got married..lost, had a beautiful daughter..F'n WIN!

Is there an echo in here?

I bought a mid 90s diamondback for $15.00 the seller asked if I wanted "that bike frame" too.  It was a ball burnished looptail PK Ripper frame in great condition with Webco forks.

Nope!

I guess this one is more of a "find some-Win some..."

working for a shop; some random stuff comes in here and there......
One day a kid walk in with a box of dusty old grips. says his recently passed grandpa had a bunch of stuff for bikes. wanted us to buy the box of grips. the boss wasnt interested... i dug in to see what was hiding and pulled out these 2 gems-

told the kid id give him a few sheckles for the oakleys. he agreed and moved on.
a couple days later i was feeling like i missed the boat on a potential score. i had to convence myself it would have been junk. out of the blue i get a text telling me to go get a trueing stand that was on our c/l in a yardsale picture. I NEED THAT!- i thought. made tacks with no hesitation....
well with in minutes i found the yardsale and seen a mass tanglement of bike stuff. i asked about the stand and the seller said it was just sold. so being an optimist i asked if i may look through the tanglement. he say sure any thing in there i'll sell cheap. the dig begins....
i pull out a old nickel goose & numerous sets of tires (including a set of first gen snakebellies)- i ask how much? 10 bux
SOLD!

he says look in those boxes; there bike stuff in there....
turns out to be stash of first gen oakley grips.

i cobble them ALL up and set to side. he then tells me his "step kids grandpa owned a shop in az in the 70's and closed doors in 77/78. he passed recently and we found all this stuff in the garage." oh my. says he had race team blah blah blah. even found a box of shirts from shop.


i said how much for all of it. he says X. i am bummed i open wallet and say how about 1/X. he says you can have all of what you have for 1/X. Agreed.
i say how about i bring you 1/X tomorrow for rest. well short story long- his step son was pissed. the next day wouldnt sell me anything and made me trade back goose for a r&r/puch something from good to gooder to meh -im good! i love score shakes

My first 1995 GT(after getting back into BMX) had all the decals missing. Owned it for about a year and gave up looking for decals. One week to the day, after I sold it, the owner of my honey-hole(LBS) 'GIVES' these to me. 27 sheets and a sealed bag of bar decals!!!!

Thats how it always goes

A friend of mine gave me his brothers old bike. It was a Torker 280 Air, pretty dented up but would make a good thrasher. I cleaned up the chrome forks and checked on here to see what kind they were. Bottema!!!
