Been having a good run at the dumpshops around here of late, but the streak dried up about 2 weeks ago, so I have expanded my search to secondhand shops and opportunity shops, which is where I found this little JOKER! :wink:
Seems to be one of the new style big box store BMX's with the lot, but has some nice parts on it, those 48 spoke Weinmann rims would have been well sought after by me back in the day, specially with those huge 14mm axles! I am a bit wary of the cheap microdrives, but I will cross that bridge if it plays up. Threadless headstem, love the bulldog style brakes, even got some kinda cool tires on it. The ISIS cranks are super heavy steel ones. All up it is quite a heavy bike though, but as I usually mix and match parts and the frame is miles too small for me it will get split up onto different builds...
Oh, cost on this one was a measly $10, and with a name like Joker, I could not pass it by... :lol:
Luke.
