Title: markyp and his holy grail....ppfffttt THIS IS A HOLY FOOKING GRAIL
Post by: QUADROPHENIA on March 07, 2012, 11:01 AM: first see a pair at harrow skatepark in 82 /83 and I really wanted a set but it never happened. 5/6 years ago a member on here got a set and I been badgering the feck out of him ever since. well last week he gave in......STOKED.... got a little project in mind that is so bmx to me in the early 80's before any freestyle bike was done. this are the original freestyle part to be produced. anyone else with a set ? ::)

I know Toby and he replaced the gen 1 goose forks on their team rampars with jeffs forks at the time. :coolsmiley:

Post by: Gary72 on March 07, 2012, 10:10 PM: Like the look. Think it's Laz that has a similar design on his cruiser, The fork goes into a bullet shape though.
