It'll probably be next year - one or two of the parts I want to build it with, might be a bit of a challenge to get hold of. Although I got the one I thought would be the hardest (the stem) :)

I now regret selling my Leisure Wheels Tornado £230 new in 82 bought for £110 s/h sold 4 years later for £60 had Robinson pro bars, arayas wiv bullseye hubs. They were built by Steve Wilson and mine was 2nd one built with revised geometry that became production set up. How rare would this be now. Think I stickered it as a Torker 280. Doh!

I regret selling my 1990 GT Pro Freestyle tour F/F in sweet day-glo pink and a one in GT blue. I really wish i would've kept those cause i learned my Hitchikers on them.
It's not all that dark though, this year i bought back my first set of 180mm Redline flights sold in 1995. Hooray!

i sold a gen one haro freestyler in 1990 for about 20 quid.
i cant remember if it had wheels on, but it had a UNI seat, vector bars (integral stem) and the green reflective cables.

i had a fox 4styler frame and fork, but my dad threw it away, sometime early 90's.

out of the 2 i wish i had the fox more.

thats the rarer of the 2.

i mean i'd like them both!!! but i know a gen one is still obtainable. the 4stylers are all gone now. my frame cracked, and i re welded it at school. i imagine they all broke.

the gen one haro was a real beauty though. i bought it off a "rich kid" in about 1988, for FIFTY QUID. it looked like he had been bought the most expensive bike the shop had in 1983, rode it for a year, got flat tyres, then left it in his garage.

it had white aero zytecs
the clarkes cables / covers
vector bars/stem combo
uni seat
dia compe brakes
sugino 3 pc alloy cranks

and was absolutely mint. the last bike i rode before getting a motorbike in 1989 was this haro. i used to ride with a bunch a skateboarders on a crappy quarterpipe. no one else was into bmx by that point.

I know that there aren't many Fox Factor's around, but to rather have one than a Gen1? No way  :D

By the way, what difference was there between a 4styler and an F1?

same bike
the later model had funky decals saying fox 4styler!

i rode my gen1 for ages. the fox was better to ride. but i had stopped riding it due to frame crackage  :D

i will buy a 4styler as soon as i see one for sale. dont bother trying to outbid me as my budget is large for one of them!!!!

...no need to worry on that score  ;D ;D   I should imagine you'll only need a budget of about £3.50 to beat me, if I was to bid  ;D ;D

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I 'll say it clear,
I 'll state my case of which I 'm certain.

I've lived a life thats full,
I travelled each and every highway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it My Way.

Regrets, I 've had a few,
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception
I planned each charted course
each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this,
I did it My Way.

Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it My Way.

I 've loved,
I 've laughed and cried,
I 've had my fill, my share of losing
and now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
to think I did all that
and may I say not in a shy way

Oh no, oh no not me
I did it My Way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows
I took the blows -
And did it my way!

My funeral song by the way and sid vicious not old franky ;D
