A much incorrectly overused saying .

Diamond Back will be cheaper to build than GJS , most GJS are in the US & command high prices .

So the GJS i used to race that is the piccy in my avatar would be worth a few quid now???  :-(

Diamond Back was my first race bike, so it has a big place in my heart hence why i would like one.

Diamond Back makes sense on sentimental grounds , GJS are more desirable/valuable in the US rather than the UK ( I would'nt mind one though ! lol ) .

motomagII:
first build is either gonna be a true expensive classic which will cost ya 1500 upwards or ya can go for gt,mongoose,diamond back,bit easier to build and costs are sumwhat lower too.
whatever ya do enjoy and in my view ride the damn things too as i do and love riding again .

brass monkey!:
I'd start with a bike you know from BITD, and agree that a DB would be a good start. Yes, Harry Leary's go for a premium, but there are a lot of other nice DB Framesets about, such as a Silver Streak or a Senior Pro, but the main thing is build it to how you want it, and the parts that you like,...

Good luck !
Matt

I guess you really have to ask yourself why you're getting back into it and what floats your boat.

My first BMX was a DB Pro-Star in 1982, followed by a Silver Streak and for me my starting point was to source where it all started, my Pro-Star.

I was not interested in owning a make I'd never heard of or indeed a model that was perceived as 'look what I have', it was about rekindling.

Since then my interest and passion (obsession) have driven me build a collection that I am proud of and have since dedicated to a name that produced some of the most iconic models in BMX

So I'd say go for something that you can associate with and more important than anything, you enjoy.
