Discounting ringing Biagio that is.......

What are the really *high value* items? Rather than "best", I was thinking rare..

Along the lines of skyway race bars? Redline early flites? skyway graphites?

What do you think would make the ultimate "expensive/bling" bike? I mean, we all know the Pirhana with its mag alloys was the best, but what do you think, and what would it's value be?

It would have

1978 SE STR-1 frame
ESP stem
Son lite Turbo 2 hubs
Hutch aerospeed cranks

for a start

Just list all the spec and the bits you have bought and not used, might use on that bleedin Hutch of yours, that has to be the most expensive bmx ever cobbled together, you could have bought a Bugatti Veyron for less

You could probably start with that 2 grand Aero reflex on the bay and swap everything on it for something else

Nah the Skyway cruiser only went for a paltry 5K

The STR 1 made 18K

AKGOFF · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2011, 09:17 AM »

Am I right in thinking an STR 1 a loopy quad?

kungfunky · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2011, 09:23 AM »

How about Woody Itson's gold plated Hutch trickstar ?...thats got to be worth a few quid, or even his Prototype "woody Itson" Trickstar, the only one ever made by Hutch..
