If you could have one more bike...
« on: April 19, 2009, 11:26 PM »
...what would it be and why?


I am planning on my Rebel Freestyler being my last build, and after ive sold the cruiser will have the TA, quad and that hung up for posterity (and occasional use) in my garage when I move.

I always think though, if I could have one more bike (within reason i.e. realistically cost wise) what would it be...

For me it would have to be one of the following:

Mongoose California - to me one of the quintesential 80's attainable bmx's.  Even the name evokes memories of sunny saturday 1980's mornings
Redline 500A - The bike I should have had (and almost did) BITD
Some kind of Hutch - problem being I could afford the frameset, but building it nicely would bankrupt me

What about you?

Ohhhhh hard question, so many to choose from.

But....... An MRD for me or a GJS like the one i used to own which is in my avatar.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Redline RL20 II
Mongoose Pro Class

Plus a much better mtb than i've got.

oh

and a 1975 Popsicle purple Fs1-e
and a 1974 Honda SS50
and a 1974 Gilera Trials
and a 1975 Fantic chopper
and a 1975 Fantic caballero
and a 1975 RD250

erm

and a 1982 4LO RD350LC


I'd quite like a Mk1 LWB GP beach buggy too and some more Oakley shades


But I aint greedy...you can all have a Halfords POS each  ;)

not my one!

mine will be made of an ultra strong metal that is as light as air.

the only thing keeping it on the ground will be the tires and grips.

No one said it had to be a real bike ;)
