Hollywood Mike Miranda has designed his first signature series and included several of the Revcore features, such as the high quality weld pattern, a machined head tube and bottom bracket, seat mast reinforcement and knurling, the frame and fork also have super thick dropouts for maximum strength.

On a serious note, I wish you guys the best of luck with this venture; I think they will make great riders or collectables so the best of both worlds :daumenhoch:.
No chance of some CW Freestyle bars is there? The early ones with the high cross-bars? :D

hubba hubba

Nice colours by the way :daumenhoch:

-

Looks like a tinted lacquer or similar over chrome ??? .
I'm liking the chrome with red decals :) . Anyone know if these are modern or OS geometry ?? ( look OS ) .
-
wonder if anyone will own one of each? be a nice looking wall display that :daumenhoch:

tubular porn :smitten:

Mmm, can't see why on earth they have put Revcore anywhere near this, Revcore was Revcore and CW was CW (apart from the CW 'Revcore' hub of course which spawned the brand name).
Nice though, typical Hollywood! However the definitive CW signature bike had to be the Pistol Pete so why not do a PP sig and do a Hollywood Hutch re-issue instead?

Gotta agree with you there Clive :daumenhoch:
-
Yeah, PP frame was pretty radical for it's day too with that seat tube angle! Funny Tim March told me recently he just used the CW Shawn Texas frame to copy for the original MRD. I can't even remember a ST sig model but hey ho!
Not many people will remember the DP Charlie Reynolds signature frame, that was just a rip of the PP frame but made of cheese and painted neon pink.......
-
clive do you know anyone with a DP reynolds frame ? i know firebird steve would like to see one
-

Nope, they must have only made a handful as Charlie was definitely in his twilight years then so demand would have been miniscule! It was exactly the same geometry as a Pistol but with DP's, er, hmm, legendary build quality! ;D
I'll ask him is he still has one knocking about, slim chance but you never know...
-
clive if you speak to him get him to give firebird steve a shout, i think there is loads he wants to ask him
-
Eh Dubber !! I nearly missed this ::)
-
they look really nicely finished Juan :4_17_5:
when where and how much ?
BTW: WHo own's the VDC Brand or Copyright?
I'd like a re-pop VDC Gorilla, and VDC Cruiser Bars.........................................................(Johnny Chopper was gonna do some, until it all went t!ts up)

I guess Voris still owns all that considering he did that modern VDC monstrosity........However has he got international patents for those designs ever or still current? I doubt it so I reckon you could do some bars but then everyone will moan as they're repopped......

He pops up every once in a while like Peter Pan (I can't say he has aged a year in the last twenty). I'll see if I can track him down, he goes into my uncles bikes shop (Edwardes, Charlies old sponsor) regularly.

Would've preferred to see a modern CW frame (for racing on rather than collecting) based on classic CW lines.
They do look nice though.

A Phaze 1 with new school geometry and spec, that would be RAD!!!

Think I'm in love with CW again, such delicious colours too and those welds are too sweet! :4_17_5:

Knight BMX did some kind of repop on the Bars IIRC,
maybe just a matter of time.....? although i'm suprised Voris wasted his time on that monstorsity of the Changa 2 you mentioned, he could make a mint by re-issueing the OS framesets

I have one for sale
