Title: Your Favourite Rider's Replica Build
Post by: Trev on July 21, 2007, 01:42 AM

So many of you on here have built so many replica builds over the years. I would like to know, if you could replicate any former star's bike, what would it be.  I'm sure there will be a large majority pick Bob Haro's Gen 1, but that is a bit before my time.

My first choice without a doubt would be a Neil Ruffell Orange Street Beat (if only I had enough money to bid on Al's currently on the bay). 

My second choice would be Carlo's Pink Skyway as used on BMX Beat 86,  BMX Beat 86 International & 87 Tizer Worlds.

My fav is the 1981 Stu Thompsen Redline Pro line. I have done 90% of it but still havent got round to finishing it ???

Any of Jay's Haro's fit the bill for me. Lovely and instantly recognisible.

for me it would be between:
neil ruffs orange 'beat or better still his orange RF1
craig cambells flat bike from '86 bmx beat - white beat with baby blue tuffs
hoffmans airmaster -when he first pulled a backflip

i 'd better get saving up  :'( :'(
