I'll give you my paypal, you can send me the £1,500 or however much they cost
-
wait till the new ones come out, they look bloody gorgeous!
I'd love to but they're too expensive. Hopefully when the new ones come out lots of people will be getting rid of the old ones cheap

I know very little about brakes but if you look at the high end inspireds they all have rear discs. Sticking disc mounts on the element just made it easier to upgrade parts on the bike I guess.

I get bored quick...
I'd like to buy a fourplay at some point in the near future though

It's hard to get the right pop for the whip without that little hop at the end, that was one of the first few I pulled so I was giving it all I had. I'm pretty sure I did a couple with no pre load just before I sold the bike but I may be wrong.
I'm sorry if it offended anyone, just thought it'd be a cool little clip to put in slow mo

Just watch the first clip. Balls of steel and absolute sh*t for brains, at a time when street riding consists of doing hundreds of barspins and grinding little ledges this makes me proud to ride bmx...

Regardless of whether someone had bought it or had actually stolen it themselves, it's still your bike. I'd never give any money towards them.
True, but at the end of the day, I've already made my money back plus an extra few hundred quid. He had to be an idiot to believe a bike like that (virtually brand new at the time) being sold for £90 wasn't dodgy but just in case he was genuinely "tricked" I felt 20 quid wasn't much... At the end of the day he's the only one that's lost out on it...
Don't know why I'm defending the guy but he seemed genuine. Either way, I'm happy!
You probably wouldn't get your bike back then.
I had him locked inside my house and I'm fairly well built, bike was staying with me regardless
I would've just twatted the b*****d and took it back
Had this happened 2 days or 2 weeks after it was robbed then yes. Nearly 2 years later the bike could have changed hands a number of times and the guy could have genuinely thought he bought a legitimate bike. That was my rationale for trying to sort it out nicely anyway.
At the end of the day, you have to imagine someone claiming a bike you bought second hand was actually theirs and demanding it back for free... Or even worse, same scenario with a car... I know you should check these things, make sure they're not stolen but if I see something cheap I normally think "bargain" rather than "robbed"...

He stole your bike and you gave him £20 for it? He's winning too!
He claimed he got it from someone else, whether you want to trust someone like that or not is up to you I guess.
I made about £250 profit on it when the insurance paid me last year so I thought 20 quid is nothing really...
-
did you strangle him and rape him?
Don't be silly...
I tied him up first

Boys do tricks, men do stunts. It's as easy as that

get that brake off and chain tightened you pansy.
congrats on getting it back too
I rode a fixie for a few months but it's just too much effort

My single speed that was nicked nearly two years ago, spotted a guy on it yesterday and now it's mine again...

I changed the seat on it so still had the original plus the receipt. That and when you lock a guy inside your house and tell him he's not leaving with the bike negotiating a price is quite easy
You have to be a total retard to steal a bike like that and not change a single thing on it though...
-
Had a bike nicked 2 years ago, saw a guy on it earlier and managed to buy it back for £20 once I proved it was mine. Bike is in perfect condition and since the police couldn't do anything I ended up getting my money back from the insurance. Winning!

No debate or argument needed, it's my opinion.
It's the same as people having phones out and being on Facebook when they're eating or out drinking, that isn't Facebook's fault - it's the rude person doing it.
Ahh screw it, this is a good point. But then you could look at the idiots shooting up schools in America - sure they're not right in the head and it's their own fault but are the gun laws there not to blame too? Completely different scenario but the principle is very similar.

laser eye surgery

Planning on having it done this year, make sure you do your research. Many clinics advertise LASIK as being simple and pain free but there's side effects they leave out and if you ride bikes and are likely to get hit in the head the flap they create may come loose. Oh and having done a fair bit of reading on it, it may not even be a long term solution, you're not guaranteed to get 20/20 vision (although it's over 90% certain) and a lot of people still go back to glasses/contacts after a few years.
Do your research, preferably from medical journals and not random internet articles!
