Anyone still got some pics of the Curtis frames that were displayed at mk14 ???
Think they were in the corner of Phil & Steve's tent

Found em in Retrodans pics (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/04/e9f7aabf85435f15b734025ba387f8c6.jpg)
Knew I'd not dreamt it

Long story short, I've been offered 2ND dib dobs on one of the freestyle ones.
Fella told me only 2 were made & bloke called Steve owned the other.
No reason to doubt what he's saying but seeing as I remembered those from mk I thought I'd do some digging 😁

I can't say about the middle one, there may have only been 2 made. Nick or Griff could possibly contact Brian for you, to confirm.
As for the top one, there were a few of these made, Kappy had a couple, if I remember rightly. :daumenhoch:
-
It's like the middle one,without foot standers though. I'll see if I get as far as buying before I bother Brian 😁

no idea on these particular frames, but I know that there has been a lot of talk generally about stuff that's Curtis (but not necessarily made by Brian)
Apart from stuff he built himself, there are other Curtis frames made under licence by Rickman (these will have different serials - longer number neatly stamped, all Brian's were hand stamped and will have a shorter number)
Then there are the PR Radcing ones that get confused with Curtis - fook knows who made those but maybe someone can confirm
-
That's the nub of the problem Griff, made by Brian, someone that worked for Brian or some other related dude have a bearing on it's value. The only way to know for sure is asking him. He sounds like an amiable young fella & I'll ask if it goes that far 👍

only a handful of the middle one in existence, made around 86 from memory and each one I have seen has had small differences. The PR freestyle frames are also similar so make sure it is not a Curtis stickered one of those.

Handful seems more than 2 :teef:

well, the one in the middle was mine, there was another owned by a chap in Kent without forks, one in Freestyle BMX mag that is slightly different and at least one other has been on ebay in the last 10 years.
Who says there are only 2 then?
-
oh, and I've never seen another with matching forks..

Forks don't match on this one either, not heard back off the seller so I'm presuming it's gone :teef:

This was mine and was definitely made by Brian. He confirmed the serial number and 2 centre punch marks on the bb shell personally, when I took it round to show him. The forks do match the frame, they may not have been original to the frame but were prototypes made by Brian back in the 80's and he said they would have been the same as what he would have used back then, with no standers as the frame didn't have any.

get a 90s chunky Curtis ... much more fun than this stuff :daumenhoch: ;D

Thanks for the Info bud, unfortunately it never came my way in the end

Fella called Martin Pearcy :daumenhoch:
It popped up on the fbook page that can't be named :LolLolLolLol:
Was vaguely dibbed so threw in 2nds . Seller didn't hear from the dibber so offered me, while I was digging about the original fella must of paid up n had it
-
That's me :) You must be Denzil.
Yep original dibber eventually settled up. I don't recall mentioning anyone called Steve, but I did say that the middle one in your pic was Simon's.
The one I had is a lot different to that and others I've seen.
Brian said it was basically him experimenting with an expert frame that he added a kick tail and coaster tab too. Back when he first started Brian Curtis Products at the end of 84 and he says he only made a couple.
You were right to be careful though, there is a lot of shit out there that folks claim was made by Brian, but that definitely was not. he gets quite upset about this.

Do you happen to know exactly which frames were made by who? I have got a PR Racing Styler freestyle frame which I was told was made by Brian but I have heard since may have been made at Rickman?

Brian say's that he never made any of the PR frames. Chances are, they were made by Rickman. If you want to know the full story behind why drop me a pm :daumenhoch:
