The frame is just at the prototype stage, i'm going to make some more changes... the comment about who i'm going to copy this time mead me laugh.. I wont be making forks and agree with the marmite comments. funny thing though as MRD was always a marmite brand.. The other bike in the picture is a 26 inch Tracker that Brian is making for me. I'm only making a LTD number of those and they are not under the MRD banner, they will be under the name Tubal Cain.... as for an MRD freestyler are you lot serious? a Brazed street/park Bike? maybe! If there was some genuine interest. All of these MRDs will not be off a production line. they will be handmade by Brian and Myself.. To order-total custom. To all you lunatic collectors out there i've just found some original pro plates.... Will put them on ebay when i get a mo.. As for stickers for frames........I think i just bought some originals (they could be bootlegs but i dont think so) so i'll get some made for those of you who send me pics with frame numbers..
Also, beefing up the back end comment? I'm not sure super rigid alloy frames are the best for racing, they are the cheapest and lightest, and that is why for the most part they appeal.... But i'm not about to follow trends just for the sake of it... The MRDS will as always be made in the UK, using UK made tubing and brass brazing. Brian taught everyone at Rickmans to braze and that's why he's the only man to do the MRDs for me.. I had talked to Steve Gaells dad John as he was at Rickmans but he told me straight.. Brian taught all of us everything we know.. So Brian it was.
As for having a team, i think anyone who rides an MRD is already on the team... I'd like to think that MRD is still in the exact same position as it was when US BMX invaded the UK all those years ago. We were the the underdogs then and we are now, rebel FM is coming back on pirate radio..
Thanks to all of you who have kept the candle lit, this time i'll try to stay for longer.

Pm will be with you later Tim (I assume!) with serial numbers and pictures ;-)
As for a braised park bike, there are a few of us who still give their 80's Badlanders a healthy amount of grief every other weekend and when ever we can, so you'd be suprised how tough they are!..
Cheers
