Building a replica....

[kungfunky]

Since I first build my 79 Stu Thomson I've been keen to replicate a few iconic SE's, then built the portland bike gallery BD-III followed by a Mike King BD-III. I have 2 more projects on the go to replicate my all time fave SE photo.
Building a replica of something takes loads of time/research and a hint of getting lucky, I know plenty of bikes have been replicated or a tribute to build like Adams pink Woody, Mike Buff Rippers, Sean's stingray, Carls robbo and plenty of of Haro's and Neil Ruffell reps which are all cool 

So what bike would you like to replicate ?

Or maybe the one that never made it on the right

I'm doing a replica at the mo. Never thought I'd do one as I'm more a 'slap it together and ride it' type, but as I was gonna re-build a bike I had in the mid 90's and can't be arsed to shell out to get a frame re-chromed as I had it thought I'd go and build one like one of the riders back then.

I'm still 'fine tuning' my Charlie Reynolds Gorila 

what a fookin' ball ache, i'm far too impatient to do another one after this.

Have you spoken to Charlie yet?

Some great ideas/wants for builds on here. It pretty much seems that most if not all of the top stars of the past have had a bike replicated at some point.

Meant the other 2 as i have seen the red ringlet one done and Sam (meticulous) did the blue ringlet one. Sounds like you have one hell of a plan going there Chris

Yes a few times but not got round to talking about the spec of the bike 

Still catching up on the goings on from the Edwardes days and the friends we had in common back then
