Post by: magna13 on December 22, 2008, 08:15 PM: Always wanted a Slingshot... not the most desirable bmx ever but when i first ever seen one i thought it was out of this world! Never seen, drawn or thought of anything that came close to this bike... the best example i'd love to own or even ride or sit on is Stidds as his unbelievable and even has the rare Slingshot race bars!! :shocked:

Post by: QuadPaul on December 22, 2008, 11:44 PM: There were 2 bikes I always wanted as a kid a PK Ripper & the same a mighty mini, a Hutch Hollywood in Pink

However I built a ripper a few years back and thought it rode shit :LolLolLolLol: They say you should never meet your hero's, so I've decided I'll never build a hollywood, just admire the photo's in the musuem, plus it's cheaper that way :daumenhoch:

never owned one as yet,love em though.
Title: Re: What did you never own....
Post by: LucyLastic on February 10, 2009, 02:15 PM: I wanted DiamondBack Silverstreak or a Robinson. Parents couldn't afford either bike or didn't want to spend the money on me 'cause I wasn't very good :(. Brother got a Supergoose in '82 though and I remember it costing a ridiculous amount of money, I'm sure it was £350 at the time, just for the frame, does that sound about right?
Title: Re: What did you never own....
Post by: HEYWOOD BMX on February 10, 2009, 02:56 PM: :) A Burner.Never wanted one and never will.Really wanted a Hutch Expert but ended up with something else...
Title: Re: What did you never own....
Post by: dialledbikes on February 10, 2009, 03:50 PM: At the time, I was happy with the bikes I had first time around (Moto One, Supergoose II and PK Ripper). I guess I would've liked Flight cranks in the 80s.

With hindsight, I would've liked a complete factory bike like a Hutch Pro Star, DB Harry Leary Turbo or Mongoose Pro Class.

Post by: DIRTBIKER250F on February 10, 2009, 03:55 PM: Had to be a Redline Pro styler exactly like Snav's i remember my mate Scott had one, the bugger
Title: Re: What did you never own....
Post by: johnnyrad on February 10, 2009, 09:45 PM: Skyway T/A or the Leary Turbo...

because i saw both bikes with Harry and Andy P riding them at the Anglo American in Redditch.

managed to get the CeeDub bars (for my Pro Star), but for that 6 months or so EVERYONE had
them suckers!

seem to remember desperately wanting some 'thinny' wheels and tyres, but discovered
girls and hanging out with the naughty boys at the same time... that was the end of that... :knuppel2:
Title: Re: What did you never own....
Post by: fouronethreeoh! on February 11, 2009, 08:17 PM: Really would have liked bullseye cranks, carried this through to the 90s as well cos I would have liked some on my mtb.
But my ultimate would have been some Terrycable cranks. I knew a guy who had some on a minty Darrell Young.
