Title: One build
Post by: Glynnyboy on February 14, 2013, 03:38 PM: Just thinking about this after reading toms thread.
If lightning struck you down which of the bikes you have either put together or have just owned is your favourite & if different which do you think most people probably think of when your names mentioned?

Post by: WINI on February 14, 2013, 03:46 PM: Answer to both questions for me is probably the Peregrine CLP. :daumenhoch:

Missus disagreed with me, said most people would think of the black GT, my first build. It's ridden (and fallen off) so 'scuse the layback post on a standard frame........

One that others remember :-\

Probably either of these ???

Although I don't think I've built my best bike yet!
Title: Re: One build
Post by: Glynnyboy on February 14, 2013, 05:55 PM: Some interesting replies already.
Mark I see what you mean.
Terry & Nick that's how I thought.
For me it's probably this. It's not how I want it yet and will take me some time to get it that way. It was built with a version as inspiration but I would love to get it as they did in the 80 season before things changed.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ll167/glynn9371/Rampar%20Team%20showcas%20thread/PICT2449.jpg)

The one that probably comes to mind I think would be this.

Title: Re: One build
Post by: southern andy on February 14, 2013, 07:43 PM: My favourite then for the work involved as this was completely fire damaged would be my Rickman Pro.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/p191/carpcrazyox/16032012096.jpg)

and the one people seem to know me for most would be the Zeronine Pro XL.

Post by: Glynnyboy on February 14, 2013, 08:00 PM: I know you get attached to them don't you Andy . :LolLolLolLol:
It's good seeing how for some it is one. For the guys that have posted two so far they are just what pops in my mind.
Looking forward to seeing a few more because quite a few guys on here create a certain build image in my mind, good to see if they get that perception but have different ideas at heart. 8)

Post by: kungfunky on February 15, 2013, 09:07 AM: Damn good question that but for me a pretty simple answer for now, I'll go out on a limb here and say most will remember me for my SE's...but could be wrong :D And my RTT has always had lots of praise, still get loads of pm's asking to sell it too ;D

(http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb413/kungfunky/0083.jpg)

As for my fave, it's my blue Portland Bike shop BD-III. I take a lot of time building my bikes but this was by far my toughest and longest build but also most enjoyable because of all the research I put into it.
