Since I first build my 79 Stu Thomson I've been keen to replicate a few iconic SE's, then built the portland bike gallery BD-III followed by a Mike King BD-III. I have 2 more projects on the go to replicate my all time fave SE photo.
Building a replica of something takes loads of time/research and a hint of getting lucky, I know plenty of bikes have been replicated or a tribute to build like Adams pink Woody, Mike Buff Rippers, Sean's stingray, Carls robbo and plenty of of Haro's and Neil Ruffell reps which are all cool :4_17_5:
So what bike would you like to replicate ?
-
pepes bike he rode on bmx beat ^"^
-
Freestyle BMX photo shoot special 84 cw cali ...getting there iam getting there :crazy2:
if i make it, it will never have been without the help of you folks - got tremendous help from fellow Radbmxers :angel:
-
wouldn't mind a stab at one other the "other" 2 kuwi's from E.T one day
Or maybe the one that never made it on the right ;)

My ACE Racing that got nicked bitd

I'm doing a replica at the mo. Never thought I'd do one as I'm more a 'slap it together and ride it' type, but as I was gonna re-build a bike I had in the mid 90's and can't be arsed to shell out to get a frame re-chromed as I had it thought I'd go and build one like one of the riders back then.

Have you spoken to Charlie yet?

Some great ideas/wants for builds on here. It pretty much seems that most if not all of the top stars of the past have had a bike replicated at some point.

Meant the other 2 as i have seen the red ringlet one done and Sam (meticulous) did the blue ringlet one. Sounds like you have one hell of a plan going there Chris :daumenhoch:
