Following on from Clives thread. I think it highly unlikely i will make any retro bikes of any kind. Clive mentioned it to me as GHP were doing some but i really have very little that's good to say about the motivations i personally might have for doing a re issue. I like the idea that whats out there is out there and that's it. I have just found some frame stickers so that will help the owners of MRDs to at least get the right decals on their bikes and i have also unearthed some new (old) race plates. Apparently me mentioning that they are for sale on this site will incur a cost so this post might be taken down. As for making something new, more than likely. What will it be? i'll let you know when i know.

Are you using spell and grammar check now Tim

just stumbled onto this thread. id luv a mrd frame set and you just cant seam to find one. so for me the idea of the mrd pro frame set beeing remade or influencing a retro build is good to hear. id defo have one. as was said earlier you didnt see many bitd so a re issue is a great idea. maybe get tim to see them on radbmx , take deposits and see if people are willing to put their money weere the mouths are ?

why not do this.....
anyone who wishes to pay-pals a tenner into an account.
they decide on a newschool pro xxxxxxxxxxxl frame to steal the dimensions from -to jig off.
you mimic the rear drop out, looptail of the mrd
run a modern sized seat tube, but still over extend it like the old
maybe use a machine mid bb, rather than a euro.
maybe run a internal head tube.

then have it made in reynolds 531, giving curtis bikes the nod to filled or fillet braise it together.

do the forks with the mrd drop

have it chromium plated by the guy on here

some one design the decals on here.

build it up into a rider, then tell Mr MRD he has to come and collect it at mk11 in person

job done.
