Rarest components ....................................
Stodgy:
I love seeing all the rare bits, I appreciate them and I understand the need to collect them, they are beautiful and the basis of 'ultimate' builds.
But actually I am with Nick Munners on this one...I will only collect the bits/bikes I remember. Good, honest, everyday BMX.
I did a bit of racing but was crap so gave it up for freestyle - so was never exposed to high-end race gear, which is where most of this rare stuff is categorised...so I don't collect it, because I simply don't remember it.
Don't get me wrong though, I'd still love to own all the lovely trinkets we've seen over the previous posts, but I don't have the passion required to part with that level of cash for those bits.
I agree, Lee Radmans collection is utterly stunning and in terms of rareity and wow factor wipes the floor. Full stop. Standing in the middle of his bike loft is almost a religious experience.
But I also feel that the detailing of Jay's and Baldbmxers collections have the same wow factor due to the little bits n pieces they include on their builds - which to me make them real. Mind you, saying that, they aren't exactly short of uber-rare bits either!
BTW The hardest component I've ever had to source were the Odyssey VPX pedals on my Condor. Ugly as sin, crap, but absolutely necessary for the build.
