Author Topic: Your Favourite Rider's Replica Build (Read 1971 times)

Trev · « **on:** July 21, 2007, 01:42 AM »

So many of you on here have built so many replica builds over the years. I would like to know, if you could replicate any former star's bike, what would it be. I'm sure there will be a large majority pick Bob Haro's Gen 1, but that is a bit before my time.

My first choice without a doubt would be a Neil Ruffell Orange Street Beat (if only I had enough money to bid on Al's currently on the bay).

My second choice would be Carlo's Pink Skyway as used on BMX Beat 86, BMX Beat 86 International & 87 Tizer Worlds.

My fav is the 1981 Stu Thompsen Redline Pro line. I have done 90% of it but still havent got round to finishing it

Any of Jay's Haro's fit the bill for me. Lovely and instantly recognisible.

There are the best.

for me it would be between:
neil ruffs orange 'beat or better still his orange RF1
craig cambells flat bike from '86 bmx beat - white beat with baby blue tuffs
hoffmans airmaster -when he first pulled a backflip

i 'd better get saving up
