Author Topic: Whats the rarest old skool ride ? (Read 8397 times)

Looking at the fantastic turn out of old skool bmx's on show at Bournemouth on Monday, I noticed that its the expensive bmx's that are mostly restored, or found NOS at the back of an old bike shop ! ie quads, Rippers and TA's were very well represented, but the cheaper ones seem to have disapeared.

My Redline was the only one there I saw (apart from the cruiser), and that Pirahna..... I don't even remember them. Also surprised there wern't more Raleigh Burners in attendence.

So it got me thinking what do you think is the rarest old skool BMX around today ?

Hmmm...

Tough that one...

Rare?

probably something like the SR Vice Sport as I have only ever seen one, and it was a sweet bike.

I took my Burner - proud of it too!!

An excuse to stick a photo on here again...

Rarest bike must be an early Team Murray, few people on here want one and not one has turned up in the 5/6 years I've been about.

what I mean is the early Team Murray 5340 / 5360 models with the lester mags and stuff.

I have this later Puch:

And a slightly later Murray - pics to follow but I'd really like an early one where the seat stays just looped round and were just about tacked to the seat tube.

And that freestyle Kuwy was very nice..

What a bit like this Murray with Lester mags....

My first BMX back in 1981 I think!Â Would love to find it again

Couldn't agree more - sadly I think it's because they all disintegrated in 1985. Simultaneously.

Not many Curtis bikes out there!

interesting one this what`s rare now i thought vdc were but in the last few years quite a few have turn up .i still think vincent ,prolite cc ,and some of the early kuwarhara`s .i mean how many of them on display not many also raceinc`s .i should have had two on display but not finished next year may be .
that why i stuck the piranha in the display as yes it`s rare as hell and why because they were cheap and broke and very heavy .

What about CW's ?? esp the phaze 1 "Z"

I agree you don't see many Curtis or Race inc's. Also the VDC's, mmm I always wanted one of those when I was a kid. So nice to see 3 of them on Monday .
