Can be anything, F&F or any part.

For F&F, mine I think has to be the two tone Blue / Grey Skyway Street Beat.

As far as parts, I use to really like the Odyssey Fork Standers.

JT71 · « **Reply #1 on:** March 14, 2008, 09:05 AM »

mmmmm, a tough one, but bike would be orange or green streetbeat, just thinking about maybe building my raw frame up.

it's the bike I most desired as a kid, but I'm not really going to build it unless the wife will let me keep it in the house.

(on the wall)

as for parts, now there's loads of really expensive stuff, but I want one of those split tube plastic things that went around your chain. does anyone know what I mean? or even better know where I can get one? It was my favorite accessory back in the day.

pm'd you JT71

Would say Kashi aero maybe, the shape is so perfect :smitten:especially when you think it's just a plastic BMX seat

Favourite F&F's was the DP Firebird Freestyler reliable never let me down, but was only just recently that i managed to get hold of one

Favourite part would have to be the blue MX1000's with tech 3s sealed in there bags in my attic oh and the gold ones too

there were just the best looking brakes to have period!!

I also loved the skyway MK 1 EZ bar it just looked classy then they fooked it up with the MK2

Frosty · « **Reply #6 on:** March 14, 2008, 09:28 AM »

for me the f+f has to be the DBHLT smoked finish - stunning then and still is today

hmm part wise there are so many, but something I wanted as a kid but never got and also still don't have today - graphite tuffs

Beat me to it , always stood out for me as a kid, still do Just the name "Landing Gear" Sums it up for me

Parts wise I'd say Shimano DX pedals. Revolutionary design when they appeared, people couldn't believe how much grip you could get from just a few little studs, and their legacy is still obvious nearly 30 years on. Never understood why they didn't do a sealed version.

davevilla · « **Reply #11 on:** March 14, 2008, 10:16 AM »

This might be considered slightly odd - but it's orginal mushroom or mushroom II grips for me. I think it's something to do with them being the only thing could ever afford to change on my bike BITD (50p pocket money did not add up to many GT Performers

) - and you got a sticker of a mushroom with them !

Re: frames - StreetBeats are lovely (I have 2 under restoration now), but it's a GT Performer for me every time (esp Fiola's World Tour).

mushroom grips loved em bitd, landing gear forks, still love the shape

and always wanted tp play the part of jesus bitd, but was too fat

Del · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2008, 11:08 AM »

F&F I would have to say looptail PK Ripper

And for parts - Vector Haro Signature bars

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2008, 12:00 PM »

F&F quadangle reynolds , just look so nice and weird at the same time
Part , Square cornered tuff neck , just so hard looking and also looks made in a garage which adds early bmx values

Frame - looptail PK Ripper.

Component - Redline Flight cranks

The two things I coveted most as a kid. I had the frame, but didn't get the cranks.

JT71 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2008, 12:06 PM »

Frame: PK Looptail

Part: The Skyway Tuff (iconic !)

Small Part: Oakley B1B Grip

Steve P · « **Reply #22 on:** March 14, 2008, 12:08 PM »
