just picked up my holy grail . . . . .
« on: August 21, 2006, 09:36 PM »
i have wanted one of these for such a long time. been looking for one for sale since i have been going on the internet - since around 97.
this one came up on ebay and i missed it  :tickedoff:

but harris didn't, and he let me have it!!!  :daumenhoch:

finally, i have a fox 4styler.

it's completely original, the whole lot. except maybe the grips.





my wife looked at it, and said "it's shit".



 :D

I wish I had had a bike that was worthy of trying to re-create. I had 2 POS as a kid and have o intention of trying to replicate them. Nice memories though. So, the big questions. Are you gonna paint it white and have you got the wheel discs ?

Nice, you going to do it white like your old one then?

I say if you want it and it's within your grasp you should get it and do it otherwise you'll only spend the rest of your time wishing you had!  I've just bought my holy grail and am waiting for it to be shipped over from sunny So-Cal, it will need a lot more work than yours but I think it will be worth it  :daumenhoch:

Some will say it's a POS, but I have some photo's of how my one looked bitd and it looked pretty cool  :LolLolLolLol:  I;ve got a lot of parts to source though  :-\

the fox 4 was really good for flatland due to it's low slung toptubes

not to be confused with the trm either - this bike had the angles right!

i thought i would never find one of these.

daz bmx it!

There's one a bit like it in the background in that first pic...
But now you've got the genuine article, the original, great stuff!

I bet the restoration's already underway :)
