--- Quote from: Swivel on August 11, 2008, 10:07 PM ---I have a real one, needs a rechrome though to get it minty and i'm in talks with rom bloke about that now to ensure its done properly. I'd get another for just the love of them and also for investment purposes too, although i'd never sell them, no matter what. A good condition one is worth at least 1k to 2k, NOS one more than 2k easily I reckon. If Terry Jenkins put his NOS one up with International Bidding it wouldn't surprise me if it reached 6k+ or more as there isn't many NOS ones about, well perhaps there are 3 in a loft somewhere in ireland  :LolLolLolLol:

Why though, whats so special about the Gen 1?

--- End quote ---

It was the first haro frame/fork set also the first freestyle specific frame built

Also a lot of peeps see it as their holy grail of os bmx, if you had one as a kid then you end up with a certain sentimentality towards them... and end up willing to spend a huge amount of dosh to own one again...  :)

Thanks for that mate, I got back into it for the sentimental thing, but it was the firebird freestyler for me. I know its not the same league, but it's cost me alot more than I initialy wanted to.

The Gen 1 is obviously a highly sought after bike for a possible £5K+ price tag for a minter.

Is it THE  sought after bike, and do you think an untouched example in a box exists  (apart from the store in Ireland ;D)

magna13:
do you think there is a NOS one out there?? ??? ???

kingkeef:
Who has these mythical 3 NOS in a loft in Ireland then
