Title: Whats your holy grail?
Post by: OrgasmDonor on September 01, 2005, 03:41 PM
This has prob been posted before, but im just curious as people ultimately have different wants.

I personally would love a JMC black shadow F/F
And also BITD i had a pair of robinson pro bars built by VDC that had a wider body and higher cross bar, i have not seen anything similar since other than the pair on the original VDC advert with the Changa F/F on, i presume the monkey bars replaced them. :)

My own Holy Grail? CW Phaze 1 in deep red, Cook Bros cranks, and various other trick parts. With a nice zeronine plate and the Gear or even Max kit. (Got the CW Echo lid already). Only just got into the Old School collector scene, but gonna give this shot  ;D

Mine would be a pair of GT's like I had BITD:

1) An '83 Pro with Redline 400's - my old race bike
2) An '84 Pro Performer with Skyways etc. - my old street bike

Sadly I don't think I have the time or cash at the moment to make it a reality, but I suppose they aren't too unobtainable  ;)

This is mine:

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v472/billstup/myharo.jpg)

This is the bike that I did the 1983 European Skyway Tour on, except that it had Bob Haro Vector bars on it and a campy front graphite.

I have the f/f and 401 flights, a set of vector bars, red dx pedals, blue and red mx 1000`s, but need a campy front graphite, rear alloy hubbed coaster, seat and seat post and red power disc, can anybody help ?

I'd like a mint Raleigh Team Aero Pro Burner like I had when I was younger. Probably one of the most under rated bikes ever.

I'd love to find my old '83 Mk1 cromo burner, it's still in someones garage but my sister's too slack to find out exactly where  >:(

Although bitd I always wanted a loaded Kuwahara Laserlite, I suppose the one I own now is my holy grail!!

Yeah I can remember as clear as day!! It came from a shop called 'Yeovil cycle centre'  in Somerset which is where I used to live. They were main Raleigh dealers and as far as I'm aware they are still there ( in Yeovil not sure same shop )  ;)
