25.01.2022 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.

24.01.2022 David Ridleys 1987 ELF Pro is looking pretty damn sweet right now. Had to upgrade the brakes from white Dia Comp MX1000 to Odyssey Pitbulls as one of the arms on the 1000 set was bent. Still need Redline single pinch flight cranks and correct rim set for it but overall looking the goods. #1A

23.01.2022 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

23.01.2022 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.

22.01.2022 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

22.01.2022 Well today was padset delivery day...

21.01.2022 It's been five years to date of hard work finding, collecting and restoring but Im pretty happy with my BMX collection so far. Still need to find sp * Titan 20", * Phase 2... * Kastanb See more

21.01.2022 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.

20.01.2022 Shit everywhere lol.

20.01.2022 Picked up this cool 1984 Apollo Mark1 frame and forks today. I got it home and decided to build it. Not to bad atm as im only using bits laying around.

19.01.2022 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.

19.01.2022 Todays grail find. Picked some parts up off a guy today whos been holding them for me for a couple of weeks now. I picked the parts up and this layback post was still sitting there (apparently it was being picked up). I asked about it as I liked the shape on it being similar to the GHP posts. The guy said $25 and its yours I havent heard from the other guy in ages. So i bought it as well and cleaned it up when i got home. After giving it a light clean I jumped online to research it as I can now see the stamping on it a bit better. Well bugger me, turns out its an early 80s Robinson layback seat post which are pretty bloody rare. So the Trip to no mans land was definitely worth it.

18.01.2022 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.

18.01.2022 The 1985 Crisp got a chrome 44t Suntour Chainring today. I also put the SR Speedtraps on it for now. Will look better once I find chrome Sugino crank bolt caps and a polished set of Shimano DX pedals for it so these pedals can go on the 82 Powerlite.

17.01.2022 Think I have a chainring problem.....

17.01.2022 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 Merry Christmas to everyone who follows my work on Facebook. Hope you all have a very merry day tomorrow but remember to stay safe x

14.01.2022 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

13.01.2022 Two ready for storage * 1984 SLA * 1989 Norco RPM

12.01.2022 David Ridley's 1987 ELF Pro is looking pretty damn sweet right now. Had to upgrade the brakes from white Dia Comp MX1000 to Odyssey Pitbulls as one of the arms on the 1000 set was bent. Still need Redline single pinch flight cranks and correct rim set for it but overall looking the goods. #1A

11.01.2022 PROGRESSION: The 85 Crisp is almost finished. Just waiting on poloshed Shimano DX pedals, white DC brake cable, Crisp padset, Crisp numberplate and chrome Sugino crank bolt covers now.

11.01.2022 Hows this for a rare find. OG 1985 World Championships poster. A little tatty but how has it lasted this long amazes me.

11.01.2022 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 80s chrome 1.5 Araya 7x rims laced to original late 80s 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 80s 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

11.01.2022 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...

10.01.2022 This is my storage unit before and after along with images of the bikes stolen

09.01.2022 2019 is finishing on a very High note for me. I was contacted today and offered this Australian Title Winning ELF and all these parts for free. Just come and pick it up.

08.01.2022 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.

08.01.2022 Finally found the Dia Comp rear brake caliper for the 1979 Diamondback TK. Its even dated 10/79 meaning October 1979 manufacture date. Yes it needs a little clean up but the blue matches the rim set on it perfectly so very happy.

08.01.2022 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.

08.01.2022 Its not every day you come across something really special. Today a guy messaged me offering me this 1983 Rhino frame and forks set.

07.01.2022 A couple of months back we had our annual Crankd Show. There were some stunning bikes on display and it was a great turn out with nearly 200 bikes on show. I had four bikes on show there this year and two of them people just couldnt get enough of. The 86 Zeronine and the 83 Profile Champ really caught peoples attention.

06.01.2022 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.

06.01.2022 Rags 2 Riches Old beat up and faded Suntoir Power Stem cleaned up and restored for my 1982 Kuwahara Laserlite. Still a little work needed on the cap bolts but ill finish it off when I build the bike.

06.01.2022 Its been five years to date of hard work finding, collecting and restoring but Im pretty happy with my BMX collection so far. Still need to find sp * Titan 20", * Phase 2... * Kastanb See more

05.01.2022 Its amazing how some builds just seem to fall together. My original ET Kuwahara was stolen from our place in Cannington back in 1983. Id left it out the front and someone obviously wanted it more than me. My brother then gave me his Mongoose Motomag as he was racing for DBS Prosight by then. I so loved that ET BMX bike but ive never owned another one since. I couldnt outright buy a ET Kuwahara so decided to build one instead. I honestly thought it would be near impossible to ...find the parts for one but as it turns out everything just seemed to come up for sale for it. First the Kuwahara KYZ frame came to me out of the blue along with a GHP and Hutch cranks. While I searched for the round leg Tange Champion forks the unstamped Sugino 178mm cranks, Sugino spider and chainring all popped up for sale. I thoight I was very lucky to find that but then the Sugino gooseneck became available so I grabbed that too. I still couldnt find forks for it but a complete Ukia Speedline rim set came up for sale with the correct Suntour high flange hubs. The owner was nice enoigh to wait a week or so so my partner could get them for me for Christmas. Then the Suntour seatclamp came up and at the same time the Tange Champion forks were posted for sale but on some old frame. I contacted the seller and as he was into Mongoose gear I traded the forks for a set of Mongoose SS copy bars. Now the handlebars have popped up for sale so they are mine too now. Now I need to find the following parts * KKT pedals (black) * OGK Handle Grips.(black) * seat post * Elina Seat (black) * Dia Comp brakes (black) * Sugino OPC bottom bracket (chrome) * IRC 80x tires Then ill order the ET Kuwahara decal set and send the frame and forks to Haydn to powdercoat it in the red and white colors. See more

05.01.2022 Gathered a few sets of spare grips together to wash. Still others like Odi Mushroom, Oakley, Jive, Ame etc still at the storage unit and others on spare bars. So this is just batch one

05.01.2022 Finally got around to finishing the Invada Lite plate for my 1984 GT Pro. Have a look at the last photo. Yep there bin numbers from Bunnings...

04.01.2022 I havent posted on here for a week or two as ive 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.

02.01.2022 Started carefully pulling the old girl down this morning. Got some pretty awesome bits on it still. Dont see many first gen ELF posts these days

01.01.2022 Going throigh a couple of boxes of bits the other day lol.

01.01.2022 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

01.01.2022 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
