You can't really ask other people what the "best" bike its for you to buy..... The "best" bike its the one that means most to, YOU !

yeh i know what you mean i didn't really word mine right , lets say if i part out what i have already for lets say £2k and then decide to get just one bike for that sort of value, i'd have had the vdc changa which was on here for sale a bit back as an example if i had the cash at the time

If freestyle is your thing, a Haro Gen 1 is a must have as it was the first proper freestyle bike and pretty iconic IMO.

everybody has there grails but if you mean high end then a hutch prostar or jmc andy patterson cant really be topped?

Basset

You say the ultimate BMX with 2K

You could get a very nice bike , but ultimate , that's a different class of build and part sourcing $:-\$

It could get you the proper wheels , cranks and pedals for a REAL Pro Star spec Hutch

, not like a few imitators on here what should say Pro racer $:-\$

Pm me

Or if you really want to go full on with something like a JMC Andy Patterson or a Judge ,,then ,,Son lite turbo 's at Â£800 are a must

Either way your into Radman territory , bikes starting at 4K and then upwards , to be ultimate

Bigplinky · « **Reply #18 on:** April 24, 2011, 08:46 PM »

Nomura are nice and rare but you also can't go wrong with a nice rare cruiser (VDC, Patterson, GHP etc etc)

sweetbeats · « **Reply #19 on:** April 24, 2011, 09:45 PM »

TA cruiser all day long for me.

Swivel · « **Reply #20 on:** April 25, 2011, 01:17 PM »

Dom (phippsio's) 84 Master would be my ultimate, simply amazing

Robbo · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2011, 01:27 PM »

Hutch Trickstar

Betty · « **Reply #22 on:** April 25, 2011, 01:32 PM »

Thanks Mattski

Did you get my text ref your early 85 master?

hunterdubber · « **Reply #24 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:49 PM »

Ultimate bikes you can get the name ,, i.e the frameset set and build it up into a bike

but

If it's a high end build ,, it needs high end parts really doesn't it $:-\$

It would be easier to do an ultimate freestyle bmx than race bike ,,, you could do a very nice Haro freestyler gen1 / Gen 1 Master or 84 GTPerformer for 2K

with no graphite tuffs

Glen the gay pensioner just had his gorgeous JMC Shadow for sale at under £1500,,, deffo one of my favorite bikes last year ,,, does that make it an ultimate ,,, not filled with unfindable parts but , still a very well chosen and balanced spec ,, it was amazing and an absolute bargain
