Got mine. Knight RetroGoose, one of only 10 blah blah blah.

And Rob Pickle had you all convinced they were as rare as hen's teeth......

BITD I lusted after many things but the only BMX I wanted wad a Pro Class. Had 2 of them and still love them.

No grails for me but there only two bikes I'd really like to do maybe in the future , opposite ends of the spectrum

A 1981/82 Ammaco sport and a JMC DY or AP

I'm with the Myth on a big appreciation for VDC Freestylers , pure exotica , Neil Clarks or Juan Mattos' freestylers in my all time ever faves list

and Glen's is cool

and Dan Harris'

Wouldn't your Grail bike/frame be dependent on what bikes you were aware of when you were a kid growing up around bmx bitd? There are some bikes I have seen on here that I never new existed now! never mind bitd? Do you think it was also where you lived? How well off you were?

etc etc? I grew up around Raleigh burners and like bikes? The 'rich kids' as we called them and there were only half a dozen had bikes like PK Ripper,Quadangle,Skyway TA and the odd GT,Robinson and Curtis.......Based on this My grail was always going to be one of those?

I'd be interested to see if anybody else shares my views? or similar?

I'd just like my old DP back that got nicked in the early 90s.

I was obsessed with Tuffs and the bike I really wanted was the super tuff burner (no comments) All my stuff has tuffs now

Ash, I'll ask him bud. I don't think he likes to show it off much though.... If he hasn't got any, I'll take a picture of mine and you can imagine it in red

Couldn't agree more bro. The Torker I have is a rep of the last bike I had back in '85/6 and the Exhibitionist is what I have always wanted. The rich boy on our estate had one and he couldn't do fook all with it and would NEVER let anybody have a go. After 28 years though, I have one

I see what your saying about your Grail being something you had or saw as a kid mine was a Kuwahara Laserlite I knew someone who had one when we were kids and to me that bike was the business.

I built a Laserlite about 8 years ago and still have it now but since seeing a VDC Freestyler I have always fancied having one and now thats my Grail now.

jT Racing · « **Reply #41 on:** October 15, 2012, 11:19 PM »

Or a ju-6 jeff utterback.
Two early most excellent frame sets.

rad_pitt · « **Reply #42 on:** October 16, 2012, 01:55 AM »

Toby's Raleigh SBDU Team set up - it's mad to think this frame was made 2 miles up the road from me in Ilkeston.

Failing that my mate N13L VV picked this up last week

one of a handful left in existance. So fooking jealous it's unreal

Raleigh Special Development

Which will be restored back to this..

hunterdubber · « **Reply #43 on:** October 16, 2012, 07:13 AM »
