Are There Any BMX's You Really Like....But Would Never Own?
factory pilot:
A great thread Dan ( as always ) ... I love Andy's VDC but price and the fact I have no real memories of them from back in the day stops me from buying one...
Mongooses too ... I love 'em but can't see myself ever owning one ... It just doesn't float my boat enough.. Never say never though! :LolLolLolLol:

Been meaning to post on here for a while but kept forgetting due to vodka, holidays and work getting in the way :2funny: :uglystupid2:
For me it's Hutch, VDC, JMC and all the really exotic stuff that I have absolutely no memory of from BITD. Don't get me wrong, they look absolutely fantastic but we were doing well if we haf a Tange-built Burner, a GT or a Mongoose where we grew up, so for me they are my memory of BMX. I've built a lot of Haros and MRDs and even a TA as I remember those from mags at the time and of course seeing them on TV.
Only one I have left on my list is a Curtis. I nearly ended up with a Curtis Expert f&f instead of my Mongoose Cali in '83 but I just loved ProClass wheels so the 'Goose swung it...... damn, I wish I'd chosen the Curtis :idiot2:
Great thread Dan btw - see you next weekend mate :daumenhoch:

Yeah, great thread Dan! As others have said, although I can appreciate a good build, sometimes they just push the right buttons for whatever reason. Ignoring monetary constraints, I can't see me ever owning anything mid-90s or newer.

Firstly, a Knight Goose retro, but the only person I know who has one is Rob Pickle and he's not selling...
Also, Kappa made a VDC retro some years ago, I say made, it was 2 protos, want one but will never be able to find or even afford one.
I am really into the one off retros, Kappa, Knight, Johnny Chopper, but now that they have all stopped making frames they are becoming expensive...
