American looking for shops that sell WTP and eclat parts in certain places in Europe

American here who is a big fan of eclat but shit is just isn’t in-stock anywhere in the us. But my parents are taking my sister to Europe for her masters graduation and are willing to find a shop to maybe find some of those parts that aren’t in stock here that seem to be in stock across the pond. They’re flying into Edinburgh. Staying there a few days before flying into Sicily and driving around there a bit. Are there any places around there that’s got wtp and eclat parts? I know they’re a bigger brand there but I don’t know if they’re a brand that most shops sell over there.

What saddle and seatpost for vintage Elf?

This is my old Elf Doublecross cruiser that I used to race many years ago
(mid 90's actually) which I recently restored iafter many years of neglect. One thing I think is needed is a period-correct saddle and seatpost, and I really don't know what would be apporpriate. The current setup in the pics just doesnt seem right. This currently has the original stem/bars, cranks, handlebars, brakes, Suntour wheels and GT hubs. Pedals are NOS shin rippers. It's the saddle and seatpost that I'm unsure of. Also trying to source a legit pad set. Thoughts?

20.75 vs 21

Would I notice the difference between a 20.75 and 21 inch top tube? It is only a 6mm difference, which is extremely small. Also would adjusting the wheel in the dropout and changing stem length and bar height make the overall bike feel bigger? I've only ridden 20.75.

Dk Cincinnati mid school bmx value

How much would would one from the early 200s be worth all built up nicely. I see one online that looks pretty bad ass and was thinking of building it up just didn’t know how much they would go for or if it’s worth it.

Thanks!

I want to learn bmx, but i don't have the motivation and also im scared.

(14M) Basically, it has been a year, and all I have learned so far are small bunnyhops and footjams (learning 360 footjams right now). The reason I haven't learned more is because, first, I'm scared, and second, I can't find the motivation to do something when I'm BMXing. I feel like people are judging me for not being able to do tricks or for 'acting cool,' which brings my confidence even lower. Where should I begin?

Spencer Foresman's You tube gone?

I had a desktop notification about an upload and when I clicked it, it said his whole account was terminated!! Hoping it is just a glitch or something and it comes back!

Spencer Foresman banned from youtube?

When trying to go to his channel all I see is " This account has been terminated for violating Google's Terms of Service."

Sure hope he will be back soon. Love his content

edit: I think his account might have gotten hacked. Just saw that he uploaded a video an hour ago with a new channel photo. Looks weird as the notification I got for the last video he uploaded his channel photo is deleted. Added photo of the 2 notifications I have from Spencer.

edit 2: He confirmed on stream that he got hacked by a brand deal email with a link. Stay safe out there kids.

Grips for Mid-School GT/Dyno

I recently picked up a couple early-mid 90s GT performer and Vertigo and Dyno Air bikes at a local garage sale. The bikes are in various stages of condition, but all three of them have trashed grips. Where is the best place to buy reproduction grips for these bikes?

Should I be worried?

Brand New model C complete and man does this thing have issues out the box. Emotions aside (I’m frustrated lol) is this something I can fix? The back tyre looks disgusting how much it’s wobbling.

Looking for a new frame and for a custom bmx as a taller rider.

I’ve been using 21 inch top tubes as someone who is 6’2 my last two frames were a munity and then a united frame. I was thinking about getting a 21 again as a subrosa mr2 but was wondering if up sizing would be worth it. Im used to the 21”tt and don’t have problems with looping but ive seen a lot of people going for a longer top tube at my height like a 21.25. Does it make that much difference with such a small change? ——————————————————— (Current bmx above) .21tt united frame (sanded and clear coated myself hence it’s a bit rusty) . Changing the wheels but they are odyssey quadrants on amity hubs(cassette) .federal bars 9.5 .tires are awful so need to change but they was cheap and looked decent
