geoffersmasher Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Posted November 10, 2007 Commencal Village, the first one (black) spent all my first ever proper wage on it. Still got it, but when I moved house I gave up a bit. those vid's make me wanna go out and ride again My bro has the same but the special edition blue one (again 1st gen) which might be for sale, unsure of prices now as I've been out of the loop for a few years. i always wanted a commencal, those guys were at the forefrunt of this new light weight scene they wont be worth loads as technology has moved on alot, but get a pic and a price as i always loved those bikes
geoffersmasher Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Posted November 10, 2007 i used to ride a volume destroyer, with macneil forks, primo SOB wheels, profile cranks with fbm chainring, volume reagle beagle bars, and my favourite dmr pedals. Sold the bike a while ago when moved onto MTB's this sounds so much like my old bike man, it had sob wheels on hula hoop rims primo cranks, some cut down slams ahh those were the days, . if so pics pics pics. i loved it and rode it to death, jason enns was class back then ,i was thinking about getting one of these as they re issued the frame with a couple of weight saving bits and i could have got it for about £50, may still get it come on sell your mtb and get a bmx

Felt 1000% better/stronger/tauter than my Dyno and Haro before that. Quality product My bro has a K2 Maintime (26) that he's just built up, with front disk and rear magura, looks fooking nails like a super moto
geoffersmasher Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Posted November 10, 2007 i used to ride a k2 dmc pro that was a cool bike, another early light weight bike. ahh man im gonna buy all my old bikes
bmxdave Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 Where could we all meet up? Id be well up for a ride again. I got more into the photography side of things before i gave up, so id probably end up taking pictures and videos.
Jeb Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 The new concrete park in crawly? Heard it's pretty good. All depend's who where you live, and what riding you do though.
old skool freestyler Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 this is what i do when i ride but had to sell my bike
Durham Fiesta Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 feel too old to ride bmx now, plus theres is no-one to ride with round here, the scene has totally died down
