nope but as a 1 off that wouldnt be a big problem.
we could do a vote on all the multiple say loopys and choose the one to put forward and so on.
and then with every model.

so what we need is a model archive similar to the museum section - brand by brand  - best bike of each type - sounds like a great idea as long as we all got behind it - wonder if its possible.

yep from top of the range to bottom "every" model  chosen by rad members

the way i see some aspects of collecting and building a bike is that after a few months most members get bored and strip it,
but if it was part of a uk collection with a nice pic and right up and certificate then that bike would have more meaning and possibly be kept or have greater value.

not only that .the lesser models that are cheaper and most people dont bother with would now be a must and give people on a lesser budged get the chance to get involved more .

frame sets sit in corners for years with no chance of being built as we might have no drive to do them,but now that one simple model might be a must the missing model..

its just a thought, i have drunk too many coffees and high on chocolate eggs  sorry!!!!!!

I'm guessing rad members have nearly all the gen 1's around, although I'm not entirely sure how many of those are in the states?  ??? Would love to see a long line of all types of bmx's, I think i'd get the horn  :crazy2:

Get them all down to MK08 - we could get everything lined up on the track and take a lovely big pic!

no not just oldschool ,its just we have nearly every old school model in the museum
well the ones that havent been split already

the mongoose range must have say 12 models as an example    we must have them all by now

thats a great idea dan. especially the bit about the unloved lower ends. for example that ammaco freestyler of sawzalls (i think) is a great looking bike, and would be rarer than a lot of the overdone high end models.

This has to be done, what an excellent idea  :daumenhoch:
