the benjyflex did well at £420 posted, trucks n wheels were prob only worth £120 so shows theres still folk out there who want them, i wonder what a nos one would have fetched? i bet theres a load stashed away in some dusty old warehouse or shed somewhere :lol: anyone know all the colours that they ...

the comp did very well at £371

yep thats it,like you say budget jobbie but so was the lollipop and folk seem to pay good money for them,itll be interesting to see what it fetches as its way rarer than a lollipop too

theres a benjyflex on ebay,anyone going to bid?

comps doing well,looks like 2 bidders are driving the price up between them, never a good idea to get into a bidding war https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126529557098

i know nothing about them so cant really answer other than when i first saw it i thought some kid had stencilled it like you say and it could be absolutley anything?

got to have the olympic ads in here,cant forget these

yep i used to ride them for a while, i seem to remember they were like concrete great for lipslides though

cant say ive ever heard of those in the first pic,the reco trucks/wheels ,you have included my grail wheels though,the lipbombs i had a nos set in the orange colour but its the nos whites im still after,its been a lifelong search and i just need another 2

someone needs to make the effort,cant just leave it to the lurkers that want to look but have never made a single post to contribute to the site maybe you should have a large section of the site thats only visible to folk with at least x amount of posts or something

they cleaned up well,its always nice to have originally painted/coated trucks as it helps hides any marks,looks a nice finish

more classic wheels,i never realised those tunnel rocks were so expensive,thats was top money, i always assumed they were more of a budget wheel
