something wicked this way comes... .....HERE!!!!

[gobshite]

well i've sent payment for the frame for my final build,

i've been after this frame since it was built,

it's taken months of emails back and forth to sort this out,

custom built for one of the most highly regarded and well known pro's

1 of 1 in the world,

beautifully made and very exotic,

its pretty famous in its own right,

after building some of the very best mid school and n/s bikes in the world i said i wasnt going to build another,
but this is too good an opportunity to pass on,
it'll be my "master-stroke"

pics as soon as it lands!

 

[SaMAlex]

Can I guess?


Taj's Ti T1 frame?

[gobshite]

you know me too well my friend









i'm so excited i could shit.

[SaMAlex]

Holy shit! Thats amazing! I have heard you talk about that frame for a few years and it was more a dream list comment, rather than thinking its something you actually were going to get. Nice one, thats really really cool

[gobshite]

i'm so chuffed!
since i first saw it on the t1 aeons back i've been sweating it, i tried to satisfy the craving with that ti reaper,
when taj had his operation i sent him a g.w.s message,
a few massages later and i enquired about it just out of curiosity,

it took a bit of persuading as joe was worried that someone might ride it hard and injure themselves,
they were both really sound about it tbh, thoroughly sound dudes,
and 2 of my all time bmx heroes,

its the first frame i've bought for ages and had no plans to buy another after you sorted me out the s&m custom, the xl-laf's going nowhere though

i've been collecting the bits for it and plan to build it as taj had it,
i feel i should but half of me wants to really go to town on it,
chris king wheels,ti spokes,blue6 bolts,king ti headset etc,etc,

dunno, it'll take me a year or so to finish though,

[condor96]

Diggin' the excitement as well...what makes this Bitch so good? educate us old school monkees?

[gobshite]

i'll keep it short as i havent sleep properly for 2 days and am in pain,

its basically its a terrible one barcode frame but instead of 4130 its made from titanium,
 made for taj mihelich one of the co owners of t1 and an amazing rider, bmx legend imo, right up there with haro,fiola,hoffman,wilkerson,etc,etc,
its the only one of its kind ever built,
just over 3lbs,

"theres just something about titanium you know?"
taj in one of his emails,


these are years apart but..
wtf,

i'll post the full story of it when it arrives soon,
cheers all, buying this has cheered me right up after this harsh last year and given me something to work on,

[martylaa]

Gotta say its great when someone lands their holy grail, but 1 of 1 in the world is a bit special well done

[HEYWOOD BMX]

  Cool frame with a cool history.Too nice not to ride.

[fugazi]

That's one of the coolest things ever, you must be well stoked  want your T-1 done rare? you got it!

[oldschool rider]

Id love to have the 89 Haro Master Hoffman pulled his first flair on.. Kinda like that.  Or the Hutch that was used on Helltrack

If I remenber correctly I think Hoffman gave that bike to a disabled kid from the make a wish foundation right after landing the flair in Mansfield !!

Great news Joe, good to see you happy for a change lol, check out 1m55  Fooking hell i like that

[pickle]

keep coming back to look at this......................simply awesome Joe!!!    T     (you see what i did there)  

[yankcrime]

Congrats on owning something that's truly unique and a part of BMX history.  I guess that's what it's all about, but it's funny how that frame has attained an almost mythical status despite it being a failed experiment.  I remember Taj posting it up on T1's site and talking about it at the time, and it put me right off Ti.  It looked awesome built up though:

This bike sucked to ride. It was so mushy and flexy it felt like the frame was made out of rubber. It sits silently in a box in the T-1 store room to this day.

Not any more I guess

Anyway, on an aside - if you haven't seen Headfirst then I don't know how you could consider yourself "mid-school" at all.

[ron burgundy]

Nice one, Joe.

A very interesting frame

[Bettyswallocks]

Awesome score dude.... 

Cant get rarer than a one off

And you posted up my fave section from electronical... 

[gary4130]
