At present I own
2 x Auburn CR20RXs
Hyper Metro
Cyclecraft
TNT Pro
2 x Robinson Pro and SST
(Hopefully very soon) a Boss Racing

I would appreciate any opinions or feedback your willing to share

Nice selection you already have. Pretty much the creme of mid racing.

Ive got a soft spot for the haro's of that era, this is my brothers

Elf Doublecross XL
S&M Challenger
Freeagent Limo

I have raced quite a few mid school bikes but the TNT beats them all IMO

all the ones mentioned are pretty much bang on the money, but the HAWK frames and Supercross rode fantastically well too.

for exotica you should keep an eye out for such pretty things as; Kastan UniBlades, Technique, ACE Holeshot, the USA Rebel Racing.

grossly under appreciated and the best frameset SE ever made (IMO) the Assassin, its got a landing gear toptube ferfooksakes, what more could you want?

? (unfortunately the XL rode shite compared to the pro but looked the bollox)

there was a mongoose, with a similar seat stay set up to the challenger, out around then too along and a Titan with the same set up, which are both nice and rarely seen frames.

MCS very underrated , and very well made Magnum 37,is what most people would go for ,

but if you can get one a Magnum XLX is a better frame set, the 89 to 90 XLX's are about the best frames MCS produced at the time , ride real nice, and not to many about

Get some silver seat guts on my old Auburn Lee FFS

Ed you supplied a GT micro shortly afterwards but that bike is now held in Fort Knox so I can't access it easily to get new pictures of it

I had an aurbun cr20, but my dad took it to the tip without telling me after I moved out

I only hope that it lives on with someone else.

Lpodonovan · « **Reply #20 on:** March 04, 2016, 08:29 PM »

Now that would have made me cry

. I'm going to hang around the tip every few days now

Lpodonovan · « **Reply #21 on:** March 04, 2016, 08:34 PM »

Took this picture earlier going to need a bigger room!

Thanks for all the feedback on the bikes I'm definitely going to look out for them all mentioned if luck is on my side I will add them to the collection very soon

I own both Hyper and Cyclecraft, both are top notch, you are missing this one, Freeagemt Limo, this is an 87 Pro Long but later ones are pretty much the same, really good to ride, modern geometry

Lpodonovan · « **Reply #23 on:** March 04, 2016, 11:30 PM »

The Free Agents look great mate let me know if you are selling anytime

Mongoose solution.
