If you want a VDC grab whichever one comes along although you have little chance of outbidding the Yanks anyway as they probably have 99% of them.

Good luck mate from bodamus ;)

Around 1980 they did a BMX frame (with a Mongoose style headtube gusset) and a 26" Cruiser frame (with extra Profile-style frame tube).
No names, just 'BMX frame' and 'Cruiser frame'.

Do VDC's all have 5" Threaded Forks ? Like REDLINE PROLINES ?
