Post pics of your toys

my 77 c-10 that'll never be truly finished...

I have some decent toys I guess. Since I'm still into BMX I have a few nice ones I've built/ride. I have more, but most are just parts/frames, etc... These are just some of the complete ones. Having worked at 2 different bike shops for a while back in the late 90's I aquired quite a few rarities and NOS parts. No mountain bikes here. Multiple gears need not apply :D

My current racer/trail bike- 88 Free Agent Limo (about 1K in this one)

My 79 Torker MX (mostly NOS parts. Yes, those are NOS Z-rims laced to high flange gold ano Suzue hubs for those who remember)

Early 80s Redline

87 Haro Sport all original

95 Hoffman Condor Pro (my freestyle/jumping ride)

84 Hutch Trickstar that I'm not allowed to sell (per my wife, lol..) Was actually stolen from me then turned up about 7 years ago, so I bought it back and am slowly restoring it. Probabaly about $500 in it so far.

Bally Game Show Pinball Machine (glass off for cleaning. Pay no attention to the mess, lol.. Had to move things around to get new bathroom fixtures downstairs.)

1970's Nishijin Pachinko Machine (works)

1974 MG Midget fully restored, in all its 1275cc/4 speed glory. Drive it on nice days.

I also have a 74 MGB GT coupe that is 95% restored and driveable, once I get the clutch slave cylinder fixed. British racing green. FACTORY AIR ;)

Once I get my Nissan sold I plan on getting my 95 T-bird painted finally and getting it back on the road as well. Poor thing has been sitting almost 4 years waiting for $$$ to finish it after the wife smacked a concrete guardrail w/ it. It's all there, just needs the paint and me to install the new trans. along with some exterior goodies ;) It nevar ends!!!
 
i never really had a 'nice' bike, so to say, but i still miss my '97 dyno comp. black with blue decals. i took it apart and put it back together every winter to make sure it was nice and smooth. i was a wheelie riding machine with that bike.

i like your style in wheels though. i hate mags.
 
I got lucky with the Condor. I ordered that new from Hoffman as a frame/fork combo and built the rest myself. Got a nice discount since we were an auth. Hoffman dealer. Paid about $100 for the kit.

I hate mags too, but have to admit that I have a freestyle Mongoose in lavender that has matching 5-spoke Skyway Master lavender mags on it. It's the only one, I promise! (kinda remind me of the torque star GP rims) Rest of my rides have nice 36's or 48's on them.

I never had "nice" bikes growing up either, aside from the Trickstar. Parents saw how I rode them and figured I'd tear one up. I slowly saved money/traded/and bartered for most of those. The exception is my Free Agent that I bought last year as a f/f and built with some high-end parts.

I'm not a big GT fan, but I do have a nice chrome GT Performer complete, and a 87~ish GT Performer Pro frame/fork laying around. They always seemed too mainstream for me. Like everyone had one. I wanted something different.

I'm a maint. fiend too. Luckily most of my nicer stuff has sealed bearings so most of the maint. is just knocking the dirt off and polishing the chrome w/ Never-Dull. I'm a sucker for chrome :D
 
the problem i see with all newer bikes is that they are all beefy as hell and they like to put ginormous, squishy tires on them. makes it really hard to get the bike off the ground with all that weight. i always wanted an older redline so i could just cruise around on it, but i havent even owned a bike since i was 18 or so. sold my dyno to my cousins and never saw it again.
