No fancy CNC mandrel benders used to make the bars that would account for the uneven sizing. Hand made in the UK in a little workshop with basic tools. :daumenhoch:

Curtis made Rickman frames ????????????  Don't think so Scott.



Especially considering i spoke to one of the guys 2 months back that made the Rickman frames. He still brazes today but only Motorbike stuff and lives in Christchurch and yes Rickman made the MRD frames aswell. Incredibly there were only 2 people working on all the BMX stuff. I did have both their names as i needed some work done on my Rickman.

They were based in Stem lane in New Milton.

Ok , let's not shoot the messenger !

I dont know if this e-mail i had back from Gary is correct but its there for all to see , copied and pasted.

Ive sent him another e-mail regarding other brazed frames and who made them so lets wait to see what comes back on this one?

I think it's been misinterpreted somewhat, Reading the link to retrobike it says that Brian worked at Rickman so the email would suggest that he made all the Rickman frames while he was employed at Rickman  ???
Would make sense to me  ;)


Up to recently Paul i had both the Rickman frame builders names and none of those were Brian Curtis. I phoned one but he was too busy or just didn't want to do any work to my frame. The other i had no contact details for but they both still live local to New Milton.

It's all a mystery and as such Scott is still unsure of his bars.
