Post by: Zippy on July 11, 2008, 10:37 PM: Mine's got to be my Robinson Pro XL, it isn't the rarest bike or the most expensive but it's mine and it's raced every other week as fast as I can make it go and it's never gone wrong yet. ;)

Post by: Trev on July 12, 2008, 12:09 AM: I have always loved my Street Beats and felt completely as ease with them. I don't think I'll have a true love for any other bike like i did back then. As corny as it may sound, I loved my Skyway more than any woman.....so far............
There was no woman that got as much attention as my Skyways did.
saying that though, my new TTL rides better than any other new school bike i've ever ridden. i don't know what it is, but accordingly to SuperFly Paul, I seem to have this extra buzz riding it, compared to my other bikes. I only hope I can do the bike justice.

Post by: lodge on July 12, 2008, 01:04 PM: My DP Firebird (single top tube) from around 83 I loved this bike, running araya 7x wheels and GT pro bars. I ran a performer after it but it never rode as well as the firebird.

Post by: Redline on July 12, 2008, 01:48 PM: I guess mine would be my 1980 Redline MXII... it's built to the same spec I had bitd, unstamped Frame & Fork with USA made Z-Rims etc. Like a clown I sold the original bike when I was 16 for £125 to buy a motorbike - Big mistake!! Was back on a BMX within 6 months though ... a Redline 600a then the K Series TA shown here which I still own :) Only repowdered the TA and put new tyres on, so it's 99% original from when I first bought it.
... or maybe I like my NOS MXII Frameset bought from MrEarl 5 years ago more, or my rechromed Proline II
... dunno... love 'em all!

Good one Joe, ;D

Although it's indescribably nice, it's definitely to your individual taste. I'd like to see a bit of seatpost though. :)
