Had a nice chat today with Brian Curtis

(1/7) > >>

Gizmo:
Hi , went down my local track today & bumped into Brian Curtis  :)
Talked for about an hour plus  , about bmx bitd  etc , a really nice guy lives about 10 minute walk from me too.
He noticed my old school ride at the track , got him to sign the back of my race plate  ;)
Like you do got his telephone number & address  going to his house next week to see some of his stuff

something real good is gona happen  :-X
Cheers mark

meticulous:
thought writin your autograph on the back of a plate was an insult...     :LolLolLolLol:

animal:
Excellent  :4_17_5:

deeman:
Top stuff! :4_17_5:

Gizmo:
Popped round tonight , & it was fookin heaven  :smitten:
All the jigs & tools were amazing , even stuff from bitd  , there was a one off curtis cruiser he made  :4_17_5:
Original 80s stickers  :D
During the chat I talked about  other makes of bmx Kuwie etc
Something I dident know was that Spielberg enquired about Curtis when  the film was in early days , but he couldn't
meet the demand , cause he was a one man band making bmx in a shed  ^"^
In the corner was a redline st.20 f&f with redline stamped v bars , stamped Haro bars etc , amazing
Back to Curtis
I enquired if he was going to make reissue curtis frame & forks
& to my delight he said yer  ;)
I said if your gona make a reissue you don't wanna balls it up like so many others
 
& his reply was  imm going to make them exactly the same using the same old proven tools ...geomotory , dropouts  , t45 tubing ,
basically the same but 30 plus years on
He said he's looking at several chromers  at the moment too , some will be painted as well

One thing I was happy about  although the frame & forks will be identical , he will mark the frame with bc ( Brian Curtis )
So people will know they are repos & not 80s , good thing I think

He said f&f will be out next year  ^"^

Sorry cant post pics at the moment , but got loads on fone
