It's a great find...

As a avid burner fan it's not about what bike it is... but the aura that it creates.... & this one has definitely caught everyones attention.

still say 10 out of 10 ,and keep it mate ,it was your bike then and still is now,thats history

othomas2 · « **Reply #182 on:** July 05, 2008, 12:53 AM »

I didn't realise it had been re-posted.... personally it wouldn't have been what I would have done with it... in saying that before visiting here I wouldn't even have clue as to what is was let alone the rarity factor...

Now being involved in the OS scene for a few years... It does look fairly budget IMHO... not that that matters... what is more important is that all the parts are era correct ? perhaps that's something to consider....

detail is important... even if you use the cheaper end parts, used in the right way it can work really well... but at the mo, I don't think you've done it justice....

the total mish mash of parts and colour scheme before hand I prefered.... it looked like it had lived a life which now it doesn't. It's a great project and I hope it's on going.... my first build was a real shambles... truly awful... lol....

It's cleaned up very well though... hope you stick around...

Bof and I knew a lad who had a similar looking bike to that Holeshot BITD

He was called Mucus

I did this bike to the exact spec as I had in December 1983

This won't be to everyones taste either because of its spec

I had MX1000's and VX 3 piece Shimano DX
and my Mummy and Daddy didn't spoil me

(because I saved up for 12 months and lived with my Grandma when I grew up

)

If you do a build and it makes you happy , that's all that matters and makes it worthwhile

brent · « **Reply #184 on:** July 05, 2008, 12:18 PM »

Interesting response.....................
Just like i said not everyones cup of cha but im new to the scene and dont know whats what ?
now if it were a VW i would be a lot more clued up on era and parts but it aint.
so come on give me some advice i know the tyres are very new not sure on what year the bars are or the seat stem and grips but thats about all i changed i just swapped the tuf neck chainwheel for a green one cause it was pink i know i need to trim my brake cable, i too was not a spoilt brat and rode a raleigh burner for the first few years (mid eighties) until this came up for sale for 25quid around 90-91
so if money was no object what would i put on it ?.......... just to confirm this bike is NOT for sale it is to be used and is not a museum piece but if u are willing to donate the parts (for a small fee) i will happily assemble them for you

at least you had a daddy , no need to jibe at me, im just saying some kids could get what they wanted to , otherwise they would blart their eyes out and stamp their feet until said parents gave in

I agree with most of the post's to this thread like ..... rare bike, rubbish holeshot stickers, not my cup of tea,.... etc etc but well done to Brent for doing the restore.

Maybe the chase isn't over as suggested and the chase now will be for someone else to find one and restore it to how they see fit. I myself would like to see a shiny fully restored "Neil Ruffell" type replica and I was one of the many kids BITD to laugh at the RF1 because it was so boring compared to the Haro's and Street Beats.

and on the spoiled kid theme..... I had flight's and redline bars and all the other shiny good stuff but back then in 86' Id just started work and was being paid £80 odd a week and had nothing better to spend it on.. No cars, no beer no wife no kids etc.etc... So not all of the shiny bike owners were spoiled brats ya know...

brent · « **Reply #192 on:** November 26, 2008, 02:52 PM »

right this has just been sitting in my hall for past few months so im thinking about selling it f&f to someone who will really appreciate it. and to help fund my new kitchen.
i know how rare this is so its gotta be a good offer $:-\$

Del · « **Reply #193 on:** November 26, 2008, 02:55 PM »
