a cleverly worded ebay item, but he does confirm it is a standard OEM frame in the questions, but it seemed mis-leading in the initial description

talking of Pop Stars/BMX'er - I believe the Leeroy out of the prodigy was into BMX, as he had a post-Prodigy band named Flight Crank, named after the Redline's.....

If it is the real one (and i must say I have my own doubts as I've been trying hard to track the original film bikes down, I've even been in touch with the guy who supplied them to Universal) then it is a very shrewd investment. Not just because it's the most iconic bike of all but you will have film collectors gunning for it. Although I think £10 grand was at the top of it's price and let's face it - if you had a big pile of cash hanging around then you most probably would but Leicester!!

If that bike had been literally 60 miles from me all the time I would go mad!!

I'd like to think they were like the minis from the italian job and were trashed after filming!
