Just because they're nice to look at, and it would be cool to see what people have done with a lot of the OS brands releasing modern versions of classics. Would also be good to give Rich Clean some reference material for his adventure into Retro...

Post 'em up!

I know the Knight goose frame is rare due to the amounts made but what are the realistic chances of getting one these days and do they have specific forks?

pickle · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2017, 10:32 PM »

They were just a frame, no forks you just use Whatever ones you want.

Very very hard to get as they only made 10 of each.

Yeah and the two i've owned took a Herculean effort to extract from the US owners in the first place. As far as I know there is only one park bike (mine which was originally George's own bike, the owner of Knighbikes), the prototype (Rob's) and 3 race frames in the UK (my old white one that Ade has now, the stunning blue one that was in the Retro category at last year's MK and Martin's black one with the Red Tuffs that was the first one I ever saw at MK about 5 or 6yrs ago). If anyone knows of another one, let me know

That stunning blue one is a park frame Spen and owned by Derek Spicer. Absolutely superb build that in my eyes should've walked the retro category last year
