Title: So what would be the most *expensive* bmx you could build?
Post by: Juju on February 15, 2011, 09:05 PM
Discounting ringing Biagio that is.......

What are the really *high value* items? Rather than "best",  I was thinking rare..

Along the lines of skyway race bars? Redline early flites? skyway graphites?

What do you think would make the ultimate "expensive/bling" bike?  I mean, we all know the Pirhana with its mag alloys was the best,  but what do you think, and what would it's value be?

Just list all the spec and the bits you have bought and not used, might use on that bleedin Hutch of yours, that has to be the most expensive bmx ever cobbled together, you could have bought a Bugatti Veyron for less  :4_17_5:
