OK Guys all i know is that lad has had since bitd and he bought it from a friend back in the 80's and he paid quite a lot then. I have mailed him for some more info and ill post what he says. Its been in his dads garage gathering rust for the last 20 years and its out now for some nostalgia and a bit of TLC. Not sure what his plans are past that but he may even turn up on here in a bit, i gave him the link. Just hope he doesnt think im a cnut for posting all his news

I fooking love it, jesus Dom where are you finding all of these treasures

I think that's one very very very very rare bike and its worth a mint that's for sure....

wouldn't be surprised if Neil Ruffell has been tipped off about it? Wonder what he'd say if he knew one still existed

I'd say much much more than that John.

It's rarer than a rare thing on a rare day in Raresville!

Its A Terrible Shame Really

. How Did He Pass Away? When Did He Pass Away?

I must admit due to all the hype regarding the rarity of these frames i do feel slightly honoured to have seen this one

FOOK sorry lads, I mean't Andy... doh... long day... sorry

Yep... easy mistake... fooking day I've had...

Holeshot is lovely though

teamsano · « **Reply #63 on:** June 19, 2008, 09:35 PM »

i think you'll find that 'ugly welding' is actually brazing. especially if vincent made them.

Stodgy · « **Reply #64 on:** June 19, 2008, 09:49 PM »

It's only worth what someone would pay...and if the guy will sell.

No doubt a bidding war will ensue.

£500 for the F&F here.

The bars, tuffs etc will get decent money by themselves.

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #65 on:** June 19, 2008, 09:50 PM »

Serious question...how much do we think? £500 wouldnt touch the sides would it? Ive only been on here since December and even I know this is a holey (pun fully intended) grail among BMX's.

I know if I found it and the offers were in excess of £1k i'd bite their hand off.

Swivel · « **Reply #66 on:** June 19, 2008, 09:51 PM »

Think it'll reach a grand or more due to it being so rare, again, that's if the dude sells...

Stodgy · « **Reply #67 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:07 PM »

BUT...would you guys actually pay £1k for just the F&F?

It's one thing saying it, another doing it.

My max would be £500 for the F&F - that is what it's worth to me.

No doubt someone will offer more, but that's cool, it's worth more to them.

gen1's and VDC's bring 1k and there 10 a penny

Stodgy · « **Reply #69 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:12 PM »

But, they are desirable by many...a Holeshot RF1 may well be rare, but to be honest, it's a badly made POS. It just has sentimental value.

I cant see anyone outside the UK wanting it. Its only the UK guys who have a real attachment to Neil. Does anyone in the US even know about Holeshot bikes?

Rare doesnt always mean its worth loads.

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #73 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:42 PM »

i would have thought the prolite was more sought after, who ever had a RF1? if it was sold now i expect it would go big as the first available, second time it comes up for sale the ass would have fell out of it as it aint something new and would have already been done

stidds · « **Reply #74 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:08 PM »

After all this time a Holeshot appears and................... it wasn't worth waiting for.

Although I am happy that has been with the owner for all these years, kudos to him.

Maybe it will grow on me.
