Spotted this on ebay a week or so ago,thought it was pretty cool so had a cheeky bid,never in a million years expected to win the fooking thing!So,here it is the one off VDC Retro freestyler produced by Voris himself and using styling cues from the original .I have an email confirming it is a one off and he will not be producing another.It has a 21" top tube,AD mounts and 1 1/8" threadless forks and all in all am well chuffed,My mate Benny however loved it and the decision was made halfway through bidding that he is gonna have it as i can't really justify any more bikes financially and space wise.Plans for the build so far are Retro VDC freestyle bars,VDC stem and cranks.should be something pretty special when done,I know retro bikes aren't everyones cup of tea-but you gotta admit this is pretty cool! :daumenhoch:

Mmm the platform seems to be in the wrong place? :idiot2:
My honest opinion on this frame is it looks fooking awful!! :-X
But hey I suppose someone is going to like it. :daumenhoch:
-
I like that, something a bit different.
Before you build it up with retro VDC stuff you might want to consider how it will ride wit thoes big fugly bars an tank cranks.
Anice set of retro profiles would be just as nice :daumenhoch:
-
will be interesting to see it built , imo some frames look ugly when not built, i'm not sure on my feelings towards this but i'm sure this will surprise a few once done :daumenhoch:
get some more pics up please :daumenhoch:
-
I spotted that on ebay too, didn't bid, but it was a good price.., glad a RADster bought it, as it will be very interesting to see it built up.
Interesting (but ugly) frameset, just as the OG was... :crazy2: :coolsmiley:

You're right Darren, some frames do look ugly on their own but once built look fantastic. It will indeed be an interesting build. The price you paid from Subwax was a steal in my opinion. :daumenhoch:
Good luck with the build chaps.

strange looking thing but be cool to see it built up :daumenhoch:
those bars at the front will do some proper damage to a snaking scooter kid or two ;D
-
What's the story behind the E F on the lower tubes?
-
Looks like the same TT used on the GJS..
Good point about the EF there Dan.
-
The EF....
Extremly
Fugly
:daumenhoch:
-
Definately a one off and good to see a RAD member got it.
But it looks like Stevie Wonder went mad at Plumb Centre
-
I will watch as you build this bike as it is it is fooking ugly in all ways possible.
It is weird that Voris Dixon who designed some lovely bikes bitd, penned that thing also.
I can only imagine that the drawings that he did for it were done when he was in a straight jacket, locked in a padded room, with a crayon between his toes :D

Thanks Adam,I thought it was a steal too!Think thats why he wanted to charge me £500 for the matching bars! ::)I know it's a bit of a marmite frame,just like the original but i just thought it's heritage was just just too cool.I like it just for the simple fact that you will never see anyone else riding one!,and fugly or not,it is beautifully made. :daumenhoch:
-
What's the story behind the E F on the lower tubes?
it was the reaction to the frame......
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Foooooooooooooook!
;) ;D
-
tbh i dont think it looks that bad .. apart from the EF .. spoils it a bit that. at least it aint got those fookin 'orrible twin tube forks Voris is putting on everything now .. and those matching cranks are kak too :crazy2:
-
cant wait to see this built up. defo different and at the end of the day as long as you like .thats all that matters :daumenhoch:
-
are the rear stays to accommodate the chainwheel on the right or for L/H drive, can't tell the distance from pics
i like ugly, i'd be over the moon with that :daumenhoch:

Grifter cross 2hip pork cross quadangle. Love it.
E F = emo freestyle.

I like the fat ugly duckling
-
No offense but I think that is awful rare or not :uglystupid2:
-
looks good to me , and a bargain to boot .i have one of the changa 2s (and an old changa) people flip their lid when they see the forks .the looks are a bit nutty but its great to ride something a little different . keep us posted on the build , and get it done pronto !
-
look like something that steve wonder would do if given a welder
but great to see we don`t all like the same things

be nice to see a couple of pics dude!wouldn't mind seeing the changa 2 for some inspiration! :daumenhoch:
-
i dont use this site much and dont know how to post pictures , im on bmx museum and my bikes are upon there , although the changa 2 is a little different now (white skyways , odyssey red wall bermuda tyres, a profile black jack sprocket ,profile alloy bar ends and new vdc zipback post) .if you send me your email i can email you some pics .i think the ef stands for eddie fiola . i spoke to voris a while ago and he said he was working on a bike for eddie , but eddie is now bringing out his own bike .thats what i remember anyway from the conversation (must have been a year or two ago)

The Crank arms are nasty but those bars are the coolest bars EVER made in my opinion, top stuff Damo, this is certainly gonna be a 1 of a kind build.

H.E.A.V.Y man :4_17_5:

That's proper good :daumenhoch:
Feck me - that stem is almost identical to S&M LT/XLT Rednecks, even down to the engraved typeset - wonder if they're both machined at the same place?

Looks good apart from the spokes.

People put threads like these up to get opinions you TIT.
Thats twice tonight alone you have been called a TIT.
Make it a hatrick - TIT
Sorry for the interuption Damo, carry on mate. :daumenhoch:
-
you knocked the bike twice in your last 2 posts and im the tit ! ??? ok then ::)
when was the other time ? sticks n stones mate. thought you of all folk would know better !
-
if it helps to resolve anything you're clearly both tits, and that's being polite ;D
although one of them was from me yesterday bobbbbs I'm not sure where the 2nd one came from...?
kindly elucidate please mister Adam

Think Adamant was claiming the second tit apres your first titty call Griff. Then he hat-tricked the third tit within the second tit post.
Slight thread tangent :D Like I said though, love the bike :daumenhoch:

Ahh it all makes sense now, I'd made the mistake of counting the people calling him a tit as opposed to each separate tit-calling incident ::)
So if I add my last one I think the current tit-tally is 4-1 to bobbbbsy
Nice bike by the way :daumenhoch:
-
well at least tits are useful. but griff did it off the cuff , was only a joke about something we posted before and griff is a dry humoured brummy adams was a cry bay 'you re a TIT' . bit of a difference. well there we go ! is it adams birthday today ? :LolLolLolLol:
