Holeshot RF1, think this has been raised many a time before on various BMX forums, has anyone seen 'The Holy Grail'?

well chris moeller was only planning to make a couple for himself then a few mates asked for some so a run of 25 was made then a year or so later he designed the mad dog frame so no more k-9 d-zine frames were made iirc

See thats how rare they are ;D

Neil/Andy Ruffell freestyle design, advertised for £149.95 and 'everyone who rode it rated it' but not sure if any sold, perhaps some-one can fill in the gaps/what happened.

Reckon that could be an urban myth mate. IIRC, the Mad Dogs were originally going to be called K9 D Zine but they changed the name to Mad Dog as Chris was getting tons of coverage as a BMXA tester so him and Greg thought that would boost sales (duh)! All Cook Bros made those frames, brake bridge plates squished really easy but a lovely frame.

Yep I've read that too but I heard from the horses mouth that the K9 D zine branding was on Chris's prototype but those first frames ended up as Mad Dogs. Who knows, who cares, same bike, different sticker! Speaking of which, there was a Mad Dog downtube sticker on ebay yesterday for about $300!!!!

My old race pants that saw action at Earls Court and getting a tear on the knee that required a patch after the very first time I wore tham LOL!

Sadly my ACE got stolen and was never recovered.

here's a pic of an ACE Racing bike that surfaced but I am not sure if Ratty actually got hold of it but it is the one you referred to...
