You can't really ask other people what the "best" bike its for you to buy..... The "best" bike its the one that means most to, YOU !

yeh i know what you mean i didn't really word mine right , lets say if i part out what i have already for lets say £2k and then decide to get just one bike for that sort of value, i'd have had the vdc changa which was on here for sale a bit back as an example if i had the cash at the time

If freestyle is your thing, a Haro Gen 1 is a must have as it was the first proper freestyle bike and pretty iconic IMO. 8)

everybody has there grails but if you mean high end then a hutch prostar or jmc andy patterson cant really be topped?

Basset :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

You say the ultimate BMX with 2K ???
You could get a very nice bike , but ultimate , that's a different class of build and part sourcing :-\
It could get you the proper wheels , cranks and pedals for a REAL Pro Star spec Hutch :) , not like a few imitators on here what should say Pro racer :-\
Pm me :)

Or if you really want to go full on with something like a JMC Andy Patterson or a Judge ,,then ,,Son lite turbo 's at £800 are a must :smitten:
Either way your into Radman territory , bikes starting at 4K and then upwards , to be ultimate

freestyle build...it would have to be a trickstar for me. or a ta.
-
Nomura are nice and rare but you also can't go wrong with a nice rare cruiser (VDC, Patterson, GHP etc etc)
-

Thanks Mattski :)
Did you get my text ref your early 85 master?
-
Ultimate bikes you can get the name ,, i.e the frameset set and build it up into a bike
but
If it's a high end build ,, it needs high end parts really doesn't it :-\
It would be easier to do an ultimate freestyle bmx than race bike ,,, you could do a very nice Haro freestyler gen1 / Gen 1 Master or 84 GTPerformer for 2K
with no graphite tuffs
Glen the gay pensioner just had his gorgeous JMC Shadow for sale at under £1500,,, deffo one of my favorite bikes last year ,,, does that make it an ultimate ,,, not filled with unfindable parts but , still a very well chosen and balanced spec ,, it was amazing and an absolute bargain :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
-
Mr Rakas has built the ultimate bmx of all time . his 1/3 scale ripper . name what ever you like but cant see anyone building anything that will come close . just my opinion.
-
for freestyle it has to be this........or at least some of it... :daumenhoch:

i think your spot on thinking about it , i'm going to get shot of what i'm not too fussed about bikewise and partwise and maybe plough it all just into a few choice bits like frame and forks etc and then build up again :daumenhoch:
