Some great answers 

and good to see a good mix or yes and No's

keep em coming

no one has said that they don't have a Grail bmx that they would give it all up for

I don't have a grail as i have seen loads of bmx's that i would love to own,  price's at the mo for the top rides, are mostly out of my range and i have to wait for things to turn up in a cheaper way 

but it's nice to not know what will turn up
I could do a list of ride that i could love - but the ride at the mo i have are cool for me

cheers B

Mmm. Just read the replies and maybe my original Mongoose Cali with my postcode on the BB as well might prise one of my MRD's away....... Bit not my Knightgoose.......

They do turn up - my brother's labourer turned up PeterJ's original Ammaco at a car boot sale and he now has that tucked safely back in his flock so it could happen guys......

I wouldnt give up mine for 1 special 1 or the "holy grail", im not into the "grail" thing.. its a bit weird if you ask me, because once youve got it another becomes your "grail" and then another and another, so your original "grail " isnt really your "grail"
I dont think its greedy having a large collection... its just something to do and enjoy

Good post!     Bitd I always coveted my friend's Skyway TA, but your tastes change as you get older and now a TA doesn't really do it for me, plus nowadays I see so many great-looking bikes on here and the Museum, that it'd be hard to pick just one.  That said, as I now live in Japan, I might give it all up for a decent Laserlite, though I only have 2 bikes (a Trident and a Haro Gp 1) to give up so that wouldn't be a hard decision.

I'd sell parts of my collection to fund new ones but I'd never sell the lot for just one bike. I only collect bikes that have had an impact on me as a rider over the years, and I've been riding for far too long for one bike to ever sum up BMX for me. So there would always need to be a few of them in the stable.

Never. If it was that rare I probably wouldn't want to ride it. Where's the fun in that? I've ridden every bike I've ever owned and that's the way it will always be. I'd rather have an OS daily rider and a small OS collection that I can ride every now and then.

I have ridden every bike I have ever owned no matter how rare, you can actually ride these bikes you know, they were kind of made for it.

allready got 2 of my grails recently just one more to find so dont need and wont give any up for it, as they will end up becoming  grails themselves if i ever want any of my bikes again

[lk_97]

Actually, I still don't think I'd give it all up for one, but I'd probably sell up to get a anniversary condor frame in blue, and then have just one old bike too

I know what you mean, but I wouldn't be able to ride it how I wanted to. Don't want to ride so carefully that its no fun.
