Cool.....Quicksilver...is it one of those with the valve welded into the frame so you could fill it with helium to make it lighter?(or so the teenage rumour went....)

I always wanted a Quicksilver,I ended up with a top end Diamond Back instead,which was a real nice bike that I raced for a while in the early 80s.Chrome and blue.......Dad made me sell it to buy tires for my first car.
Some lesson about learning that cars are expensive things to run or some bloody thing...........................geeze,I wish I still had that bike.

This is that vintage bmx site http://bmxmuseum.com/

Plenty of way cool stuff on there.

I also have a couple of Mongeese (Mid School)-These will be for sale soon. SE racing Quadangle and a few new school freestyle Redlines
