i have the only KNOWN Brackens cruiser in the uk. there are 2 other Brackens but the are pro models . this frame and forks does have a little bit of a storey behind it to.



i bought it from "Dennis Dains" aka "RED BARON"



who kindly sent me a few extra presents in the box along with the frame and forks  :smitten:



and the storey that goes with the frame and forks is........... my Brackens does not have the 2 triangle wedges welded behind the b.b.(like most other Brackens frames) Greg Hill helped Tommy Brackens design the frame , and Tommy gave Greg the frame and forks as a gift. Dennis ended up with the frame and forks off Greg and then built her up . Dennis stressed to me that he nor Greg or Tommy ever raced the frame and forks. Dennis listed the frame and forks on us ebay , but didnt really want to sell to the u.k. i saw the frame and forks and emailed him. eventually i ended up with it. Several weeks after i recieved the frame and forks Dennis emailed me a photo he had of the frame set built up .......... with Tommy himself riding the bike in the street .



My Brackens although not a common bike isnt the rarest bike on rad by a long chalk. but its the rarest bike i own and she has a little bit of a story to tell .
If your new to rad , or your not sure who Dennis Dains is heres the link to his Thread , very long now as he comes back and adds to it , and im so glad he does  :daumenhoch:

Very rare. The actual bike you owned as a kid. A few bits worn beyond repair replaced with used same spec parts, but 90% original.
