Fantastic project

Gashead · « **Reply #26 on:** January 27, 2014, 09:34 PM »

Just to clarify.....the frame and forks are £400, post on top.

The £450 gets you a visit to the Curtis outlet, to meet Brian, see YOUR actual frame being made, and any name or number stamped on the BB.

The ONLY difference to the frame being made to that made in the 80's is - un drilled forks, and BC being stamped on the fork drop outs. So to differentiate from the cherished 80's made frame.

Early doors chaps, so I don't have exact info, it's a rolling project.

I am only taking names, so to give Brian an idea of interest! however of the 20 he wants to make, they are gradually being booked

If I was into the

BMX scene I'd be getting one of these without fail. Great work by all involved.

Still one of the best looking cruisers I've ever seen. ;-)

I like that a lot

Only if I had the spare cash

A lot of hard work ahead for you and Brian. Those F&F's will be awsome for any Curtis fan.

Gashead · « **Reply #36 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:37 PM »

I have just got off the phone from Brian and the jig has been made ! All hand built from geometry based on my Curtis cruiser.

I am due to go down and see him a week on Sunday, so to see the 'prototype' being made from non t45 material, once he is happy this frame is scrapped (not on his nelly) and work will commence on the frames.......

I will take pics and keep you all posted.

If you build it, they will come !

Phil, Brian asked if you were about a week on Sunday, I think he has fixed the frame mate.

Excellent work Nick.
Can't wait to see some photo's

Your last trip with Phil was a great thread.
Looking forward to it.

griff · « **Reply #44 on:** February 10, 2014, 10:21 PM »

Can he do one with a double top tube and wobbly plastic cartwheels?

bigfatolly · « **Reply #45 on:** February 10, 2014, 10:41 PM »

Now that thing is proper,forget all the Harold and GT money grabbing shite,if you want a cruiser,this is the one to have.....

dancetothedrummersbeat · « **Reply #46 on:** February 11, 2014, 09:22 AM »

Not a big fan of cruisers generally, but this one looks really cool. The shape looks more like a 20 inch to me, and for that reason i love it. This makes the new Haro cruiser look like a joke bike.

martin46 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 11, 2014, 10:14 PM »

Here is a genuine opportunity to own a proper old school frame and forks, with old school geometry, spec and best of all built by the same man that built them back in the 80's. Pretty unique I reckon and not like all the other repop stuff that's out there, by Skyway and Haro etc.
A real Curtis, manufactured by Curtis.
In some ways its probably better than some of the later, old Curtis frames that are out there, as they were made under license by Rickman, still good quality. But not a patch on the quality of Brian's work.
I am a little biased as I live local to Brian and have always ridden and loved his frames, but if you haven't put your name on the list. You're missing out on something very special.

Job's a goodun Nick

dannyrobo · « **Reply #48 on:** February 12, 2014, 03:11 PM »

Can't wait to get one of these

martin46 and bigfatolly you sum up my thoughts perfectly.
