What is the 'must have' old skool bike for a collection.
dannywhiteley:
The bike I had as a kid was a Ironhorse, the red one with the yellow mags and to be honest while I have seen a few floating around ebay I have very little desire to own one again.
I always, always wanted a TA. So i've got one of those, that while looks complete will always be looking for better parts to do it justice.
I didnt always want a Streetbeat (I think this came out just a little later for me to really notice it). The one I have now though I love and will keep.
I always, always, always wanted a Rebel. A lad in school I occasionally knocked about with (the cool kid in school with the best Adidas trainers, Tacchini tracksuits etc) had a chrome race frame and I loved it. Still looking for a race frame, but currently am working on the freestyler in my thread in BMX Chat. Its interesting actually as I always really loved twin top tube freestyle frames as a kid but saw very few around (apart from the odd Ammaco) so to combine the twin top tubes of my Freestyler with the Rebel name I remember from my youth is almost a perfect combination.
However, just before we moved away from Amlwch in Anglesey (great for bmx'ing kids - like a mini California BITD), my brother and I were pricing up different options for which bikes we might get for xmas. I remember my parents taking us to a bmx shop in Bangor (or Conwy) to look around and after reading the reviews in Action Bike I think we were deciding on a Redline 500a each. For one reason or another (we moved away) that never happened and I ended up with a Raleigh Equippe racer :( . So the Redline basically is the bike I should have had BITD.
However, if your talking classics for any collecion it would have to include:-
TA, Ripper, Performer, Quad, Hutch (Pro Star or Trick star), Haro Freestyler (of some description), Burner (of some description), etc
