If only this happened in my head and not in my underwear, at least I'd save some laundry money.
Aaargh, I don't even know how much that's worth, it's just too much at once.

Before you guys get too excited, you oughta know there's enough hardware to make only 8 or 9 actual pairs of frames.

I asked for a complete breakdown of what is included. looks like a ton of hardware included. do the plastic rocker arms crack easily? there seems to be only a few aluminum rockers. and do these use 8mm axels or 6mm? i've never even held a pair before, i'm totally ignorant of what a pair includes.

I think I have talked to this guy on ebay before, he bought these frames for his son. I out bid him on large white frames though... the collection is crazy.... super crazy
or maybe he is the true fiziks patent owner and is just unloading all of the supplies he has left
I need those white things for the H-Blocks for theeeeese:

I was actually quoting the seller :
From all of the parts, you can assemble 8 or 9 complete pairs, then you will run out of axle bolts.

Oh, I wish he would have put that in the original post. Nevermind, not worth it. Shitty.

Those aren't hitchhikers by the way. Geoff Acers gave me some thinking they were hitchhikers, but they are meant to replace the middle rocker arms and only fit anti rockers. They work like hitchhikers but only allow to ride anti rocker in the middle. 99.9 percent sure what those are, also it seems unrealistic to sell all of those as a whole since you probably want a ridiculous amount of money considering how much they are worth. Might even make more money selling each pair by itself.

Bidders - just be sure you know what you are getting yourself into here! My collection of Fiziks is in great working condition for just one reason:

If you don't like taking things apart and putting them back together periodically, this sale is not for you! If you are a street skater who shreds frames every month, this sale is not for you!

I've decided to conduct this sale as a blind bid. I will accept bids through Feb 15. I will not be listing a desired price. Place a bid for the lot. The minimum bid must be $500. The highest bidder wins. My personal investment in this collection exceeds $2,000, but of course there is depreciation from use. Honestly, I will consider myself lucky to recoup half of my investment. Please place bids by email at
[email protected]
In fairness, I must provide full disclosure of sale items. If you know Fiziks, you know that axle bolts are in short supply. The reason for this is not that their axle bolt design was flawed in any way, it is because Fiziks was forced to cut their production costs in an attempt to survive. They moved their production operations to Mexico during the last months of their existence, and some inferior axle bolts were produced there. Included in my count of 105 axle bolts are 31 that by my experience are likely to be inferior. These suspect bolts are new and never used, but they may not be as strong as original Fiziks axle bolts.
I also want people to understand that 46 of the 54 white UHMW H-block extension pieces were fabricated in a machine shop (at considerable cost to me). They were purposely made too long and must be shaped by file or grinder. I did this to allow different H-block curvatures in an anti-rocker setup. The photos previously released give an example of some finished products after shaping them.
Previous bidders are free to revise their bids.
FYI, this week I am going to consult with my local machine shop to see how much it would cost to duplicate axle bolts as well as the highly sought after Night Hardware antirocker blocks. I will advise interested people in a separate be-mag posting.
FYI, I will be at BCSD and look forward to meeting some of you and perhaps seeing some Fiziks in action.
ill buy a pair of those hitchiker block things if you wanna sell those to me at BCSD or something. email me if youre down, i never check this section

Given these terms, you might do well to list the lot on ebay and link the auction to this and any other forum listings you have. You said you wanted serious buyers, I for one won't blind bid and send cash in the four-figure range based on a Be-mag listing.

OK Honni and USD_Dave and Z, what do you mean when you say you want hitchhikers?
Night Hitchhikers were an aftermarket item (machined black UHMW plastic) that screwed onto the top of the plastic inner rocker arms. Fiziks company had nothing to do with this product. Hitchhikers provided something to catch onto when grinding something wider than the Fiziks H-block. With Hitchhikers installed, you still ride flat with suspension working on all 8 wheels. You need 4 Hitchhiker blocks per pair of Fiziks frames.
Fiziks made an aftermarket product called the Fiziks Antirocker Grind Kit in an effort to compete with other antirocker frame setups. To install this kit, the plastic inner rocker arms and shock absorbers are removed. An aluminum adapter fits into each of the inner axle bolt frame holes, and 48mm antirocker wheels are installed. The antirocker wheels are not sprung, they are locked in place. The H-block area is then greatly enlarged by inserting two shaped UHMW plastic blocks (using the inner pivot pins to lock them in). In this setup, only the outer wheels are suspended. This is important to note because heavy riders can easily bottom out the suspension system. If you weigh more than 160# I wouldn't recommend this setup to you. There are 12 separate pieces making up the Fiziks Antirocker Grind Kit - 8 machined aluminum spacers and 4 white UHMW plastic blocks.
The Antirocker Grind Kit is what I have pictured on 4 of the red frame pairs. There's a Hitchhiker shown on the plastic rocker arms on the Fiziks box in the center of the hoard photo.
So what do you all mean when you say you want Hitchhikers?

Dude got some good photoshop skills
If you are planning on bringing them to BCSD, I'm sure you would probably sell all of the frames. If you do sell them individually, I'd like to buy a pair with the metal rocker arms at BCSD.

Not sure about Z, but myself and Honni want HitchHikers, we know perfectly fine what they are.
I'm not interested in the anti-rocker Fiziks kit, only HitchHikers as i ride flat setup.

Dog, you got him all wrong. The dude is right. The antirocker kit and the hitchhiker kit is two different things. You can't use the grind blocks from the antirocker kit as hitchhikers. They're used without the middle rocker arms. It just wont work.

This sale is concluded, the winning bidder may decide to identify himself and possibly offer individual parts or complete frames for sale. Thanks for bidding. Feel free to hit me up with any Fiziks maintenance and repair questions, but not for Fiziks parts! Sorry I wasn't able to break up the lot, too much going on right now to allow me time to do that.
what was the final sale amount $??????????????
