I would have said buy them and resell them and earn enough to get ones you would choose





need a bike engine? - www.colibriman.com





SVA ready Mk Indyblade possibly for sale.....if the offers good...!

i got some , think they look sportier, but havent really had a proper drive yet to know how they handle. as colibriman says, id take em, and re-sell them if you cant find a use for them!
im sure youd get more than that off ebay!

i paid £250 for mine (pretty scuffed) with new tyres.

Is that £125 for One, Four, or Five?.

If its four or five, can you let me know where!!.

That is Midland Wheel Supplies who appear at all the shows. Got some off ebay from them last year and they were a bargain.
