Post by: SaMAlex on May 06, 2007, 10:46 PM: Gotta be Zimma or Circle G. OK, they were heavy but it was the mid 90s, thats how bikes were. Both these bikes were rider owned companies (and rider welded frames) and alot of thought went into every single join and angle.

Ohhh, me back, me back!

Post by: highrisedrifter on May 08, 2007, 08:25 AM: Once I've built up my other projects, I'm half tempted to look for a DP Firebird Freestyler and build it up like my mate had BITD. Lovely bike it was. I was quite jealous of him until I got my T/A.

YGT on the money again, that was a nice frame. It has a big bolt on block of plastic for the bashguard, like the same size as half a 44t chainring! Id like to do something like that for a NS bike (kinda like fly have done for Rubins bike)

Post by: Haley on May 08, 2007, 08:14 PM: I only remember the Curtis, the DRM and the DP. DP all the way. Here's mine. (updated)

Title: Re: BEST OF BRITISH
Post by: stidds on May 09, 2007, 08:01 AM: This bike is best of British (any excuse for posting a picture :LolLolLolLol:).... Actually fair play we had some nice freestyle bikes from Britain, I personally like bikes without bits sticking out of them, i.e. Pro-Lite, DP, Rickman. Some freestyle bikes were awful to look at (not going to give examples as that is bound to upset someone!!).
