Title: My local bike shop score of the decade.
Post by: Triumvirat on February 28, 2008, 11:21 PM

Hello all.

First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Greg and I usually frequent a number of the other BMX sites. It's been brought to my attention that a friendly partnership has been forged between TableTopBMX.com and this great site, so here I am.

I guess I'll start by sharing my very recent score of the decade, so far. If any of you have any info you'd like to share about this rarity, please speak up.

My newly found 1988 Peregrine B1-XT!! Pristine survivor condition.

Any info on this beauty would be excellent, so please chime in with anything you may know about this bike.

Have to give a public shout out to Kev for hooking me up back here in Canada. Thanks bro!

Cheers, and enjoy!

I already saw the post on Vintage and already used up a few boxes of tissues.  :crazy2:

If you want to sell that then please let me know, I've got another Peregrine on the way but Just like Haro's,  you can never have too many!

Thanks for all of the kind words. This is the first one I've ever seen in person and at this point the only way I see myself letting it go is if I'm being held at gunpoint.  :2gunsfiring_v1:

Timo in Finland has a very nice survivor built and posted on the Museum and that's where I got the info for this one. He posted this morning and informed me that mine is, in fact, a B1 and not a B1 XT as the XT actually has different decals along with the upgraded parts. I think on of the most unique features of this bike is the horizontally oval top tube. Looks great and is very handt for frame-standing.  8)

I'll be sure to post some new pictures when I start building it up, but for now I must go on a treasure hunt for era-correct Peregrine parts.

Thanks for the warm reception!

Cheers,
Greg

Did someone mention Peregrine parts?
