Anyone can get a frame set and dress it with old school parts to make it look like it came direct from from the 80's.

As Dordy says, it's definately one to own but not £1500 definately  :D  ;D

How Rare :daumenhoch:

+1

And I'm going to be the first controversial one and say I'd pay it, if it wasn't for blooming summer vacations and 3 kids birthday's through July and August   :(

I'm gutted it's come up at this time of year, never seen one for sale before

Sorry if that upsets a few, I'm really not trying to start an agrument with anyone  :), you see less rare bikes go for this and more

one of the uk's rarest 80's freestylers riden by one of the uk's best

I have thought for a long time about what to do with this bike and am reluctantly selling on e-bay after trying for over a year to get accepted to register for rad-BMX.

eh ?  ???

Before we moved to a new site we were being hit with about 200+ spambot registrations every day.  It was imposible sometimes to actually figure out who was a proper reg and what was spambot due to the names people use.  probably down to this  :-\

all good now though, he would just need to know what NOS means  ;D

Nice and very very rare!  christ you see other old bikes go for silly money when there's loads of them about, so this will go for that i recon  :daumenhoch:

i got 4 full sticker sets for one of these in different colors that came off Neils brother Robert after he passed away that were neils when they were designing this frame set.
just need the frame set but cant run to that much im afraid  :'(

compare to what some people pay for common bikes this is worth that as very rare as , what the chance of finding another one let alone for sale

That's a blast from the past. I never knew Andy R had a company. Be interesting for more info on this.

Post by: ED209 on July 08, 2013, 10:27 PM

with better parts I'd say that was about right.

a mint DP with proper parts would sell for £1200 / £1300 ... a dodgy 91 Air Master sold for over £1500!

I think its Kappy selling  :)

I'm sorry to up set a few people but that frame set just not does anything for me AT ALL ,
Even if you could buy the frame and forks for £200 I wouldn't have it sorry.
It just looks like another cheap late 80 s early 90s BMX even dare I say a GT Dyno Compe.

It's probably so rare because HoleShot couldn't sell the ugly buggers in the first place back in the day, talk about a toad come prince.

last night that toad went for 1500  -  there goes my 'gift of precognition', my guess was 2.5  :yahoo_silent:

No bids
He's been taking offers on it ::)
Someone will end up with a rare frameset, like it or not. Personally id rather have that than a new Haro frame at 1k ...even if it does come in a pretty box  ;)
