25.01.2022 One for the the BMX Collectors around the world. A 1992 Hawk F20L frame with OG matching Hawk dual dropout forks signed by the man Jim Moore himself. These Gen2 frames are super rare now and especially in this condition. Super stoked to have this in my collection soon.
23.01.2022 Thanks to Mario Houghton for the express delivery of parts for the Auburn and Maxxim that arrived today. Got the Beyond numbers so now the Beyond plate is done. Got the GT seat and clamp for the Auburn as well as the chain tensioners. However he forgot to post the Dyno numbers lol so I cant finish the Dyno plate on the Auburn now :( Minor set back hahaha
22.01.2022 I forgot to share the other day that i did a mock up build on the 1982 KYZ ET Kuwahara. Mostly ET correct parts except for the seat, pedals and tires. Now to powdercoat it in the red and white and find the last few parts needed.
21.01.2022 So I passed up on the Rhino frame and forks as after some research we could not confirm that it was actually a Rhino. Now that that has been decided a guy contacted me will a 1991 Auburn frame with Answer Pro forks. The price on this frame and forks is cheap as
20.01.2022 The bikes that Asher Lejames Street stole from my storage unit at National Storage in Kelmscott that we haven't found as yet!!!
19.01.2022 At BMX Collectors Restorers & Trader Perth we specoalize in finding, restoring and preserving the history of BMX. What many dont know is we often search for other peoples grails or childhood rides or help them to finish off there bike/s. One such job was completed this week and the guu was extremely happy with everything. Its not often I get feedback but when I do its always positive like this.
19.01.2022 Two new plates destined for the collection. The Invada plate will be redyed and lit on my 1982 Powerlite Pro. The Haro will probably just hang on my wall
19.01.2022 Just been contacted by one of my old ELF Cyclerama team mate and he said I could have this box of original parts that been sitting at his mums for years.
16.01.2022 I haven't posted on here for a week or two as i've been a little preoccupied with the West Coast BMX Show in May. I can finally release a copy of our online flyer for everyone to share around. I other great news there will be a bright yellow 1983 Profile Champ at the show with red, blue and chrome components as well as a 1992 Hawk F20L frame and forks signed by Jim More himself. I wont have time or the money to build the Hawk in time for the show so it will be displayed as frame and forks along with a document of the Hawk History as well as the patent documents for the design all with Jim's name on them.
16.01.2022 Gathered a few sets of spare grips together to wash. Still others like Odi Mushroom, Oakley, Jive, A'me etc still at the storage unit and others on spare bars. So this is just batch one
15.01.2022 An awesome pair of Oakley 1b1 grips arrived for the on Wednesday for the Profile Champ build. Just need yellow skins now
14.01.2022 So the 1992 Hawk F20 L build is underway but has soon come to a halt as Im now whating on the parts to finish it. Sun Mistral rims are being stripped and polished. These will then be laced to Kovachi hubs once the hubs arrive. Need to pick up the Profile unstamped cranks and spindle from Renee and find a decent set of square caged pro pedals for it.
13.01.2022 Hows this for a rare find. OG 1985 World Championships poster. A little tatty but how has it lasted this long amazes me.
13.01.2022 Going throigh a couple of boxes of bits the other day lol.
12.01.2022 Sorry to everyone for not being active on this page very much over the last few months. Since the break in at National Storage in Kelmscott ive been busy setting up shop at the new complex which is a fair drive from my place making it a little harder to get stuff done. Also been busy chasing down my stolen stuff with some success but ill share that on another post
12.01.2022 The 1983 Profile Champ build was probably one of the biggest builds in terms of restoration is concerned. The frame had some damage on the break bridge and was a horrible salmon pink colour. I had the paint blasted off it before sending it across the country to the mad scientist Trevor Weber. He repaired the damage perfectly without having to cut and replace the bridge so its still all original. Then it was sent to the powdercoat master Haydn Purves who did an amazing job with the yellow on this frame. Aus post stuffed up and if was delivered to the wrong address but finally found its way nack to me to build it. Luckily I had most of the parts to build this beast so didnt take to long. Finished it just in time for Crankd
11.01.2022 Another grail frame set found. 1983 Profile Champ. Unfortunately its pink but will soon be yellow like in the second photo. Rest of the picks are the parts I have in storage ready to go on it
11.01.2022 Well today was padset delivery day...
11.01.2022 Well today the 1998 Norco RPM had a bit of love. She got new Odyssey Tripple Trap pedals, ELF Blast bars, Odyssey lever and Lizard Skins padset. Already upgraded the tires to Maxxis Holly Roller fat and skinny combo and the stem to a DK Pro XXL stem. Added a B0mb3r number plate today too. Now its starting to look like a midschool race rig. Now looking at a rim set, seat and Odyssey A brakes upgrade.
09.01.2022 Since the break in my bike and build list are a lot smaller now. The other noticeable difference is the quality of the builds now too. Each bike I have now is extremely hard to find and were top of the list in their time. Dont get me wrong the bikes that were stolen were high end, rare bikes too but ive come back with a vengance now and aim to produce some of Australias best old school BMX bikes. So the bikes stolen were: * 1980 CW ZL Pro... * 1982 Powerlite Pro * 1985 Crisp Pro * 1986 Titan 24" Pro Cruiser * 1991 Auburn CR20r * 1994 Hawk F20L * 1999 Cheeta Schoony All of these bikes stolen were extremely hard to find and the Titan had special memories for me as I actually raced that frame. Even though im confident ill get some of them back in time I have jumped back in the deep end and my collection now includes * 1981 Hattori Prosight * 1982 Kuwahara Laserlite (teardrop) * 1982 Hutch Pre Serial Pro Racer * 1983 Puch Trak Pro * 1983 Profile Champ * 1984 GHP Pro * 1986 Zeronine Pro * 1987 ELF Pro * 1988 GT Pro Series * 1991 Hawk F20 (Gen1) * 1994 Maxxim Factory Team Pro I will aim to replace the 85 Crisp, 86 Titan, 91 Auburn eventually but for now ill wait to see what I can get back when the thieves stuff up...
08.01.2022 This is my storage unit before and after along with images of the bikes stolen
05.01.2022 Morning everyone, hope you are all safe and well at this time. I havent posted a lot on here lately as to be honest not a lot has really been happening. We cancelled the West Coast BMX Show set for May 2nd due to the social restrictions in place because of the Covid-19 virus. As yet a rescheduled date can not be set for this event so its cancelled until further notice. The website has yet again come to a screeching halt. No new material has come in for a long time. Ive been o...ffered a lot of stuff but other than a video loaned to me by Paul recently ive had nothing else to ad to the site. The only real good news is that the yellow 1983 Profile Champ will soon be added to the stable of bikes and ive been offered a 1986 Skyway Streetstyler and 1988 GT Pro Series but these both will take a little time to raise funds for. My new delema is wheel choices. KD Chrome stripped my Sun Mistral hoops but the pitting was to bad to use them so my 1992 Hawk F20 doesnt have wheels as yet. I picked up a set of late 80's chrome 1.5 Araya 7x rims laced to original late 80's TNT revolver hubs. Ill be restoring the hubs and lacing them to polished Araya 7x hoops as the chrome ones are 1.5 and not 1.75. As the TNT hubs are late 80's these will go to my 1988 FreeAgent Limo. The polished Araya 7x hoops laced to DK sealed hubs will then go onto my 1987 ELF Pro. Then I can finally take the rims that are on the ELF now and strip them as the Bullseye hubs are to go to the 24" Araya 7x hoops for the Titan cruiser and the chrome 1.75 Araya 7x hoops go to the 1982 Kuwahara Laserlite once I can find the right Suntour hubs to lace them too. So after all that i still have no rims for my 1980 Prosight, 1984 GHP, 1986 Cyclecraft and 1992 Hawk F20. I do have a set on gold Araya 7x hoops for the GHP but no hubs unless I use 83 stamped Sunshine Gyromaster hubs which will look the part for sure. Story of my life atm
04.01.2022 So as most of you are aware my storage unit was broken into over the Fathers Day long weekend and a number of bikes as well as other items were stolen. Well it turns out the thief isnt to smart as he recently posted some of my stuff for sale on Facebook Marketplace. I didnt see the advert myself but the boys jumped on it straight away and arranged to buy the stuff. They got his address off him and headed straight there. When they got there they realized it was onlyca small pa...rt of what was taken so tgey took the gear and left. The bous showed me photos and I confirmed to police that the thief was the guy I suspected all along who moved in three doors down a week before the break in. Police then raided the property and the storage unit but only found about 40% of what was stolen. Below are the photos of the piece of shit, the advert he placed and what the boys bought back. Remaining images are of the bikes still missing. As there was no cameras working at National Storage and the thief says he found it all on kerbside collection he can only be charged with possession of stolen items. See more
04.01.2022 Its not every day you come across something really special. Today a guy messaged me offering me this 1983 Rhino frame and forks set.
03.01.2022 Since the 92 Hawk F20L build is on hold for the moment as I wait on parts for it I may have to do a mock up build on the 1986 Cyclecraft Pro XL feame and forks. Only thing I need is Fredz Pro bars, tires, seat and pedals. Once im happy with the build itll be stripped and frame and forks send in to be powdercoated to match the Maimi Vice color scheme. The last pic is how I bought it
01.01.2022 The 98 RPM got some different rims put on it today. They are 1st gen GT Rythym System rims with GT AA Pro tires from 1999.
