I always wanted one of the 1st generation GHPs. They went out before I could get one. I DID get one of the 2nd generation GHPs though ..and I still have it. I got this one from Alan. He said something about Greg rode it for a few days when he came to visit....do ya think I'll ever part with it?...HECK NO...LOL

for me it has recently become an obsession for a 20" Nomura and Botema's from the early 80's.

In all it's - never made it to production/double down tube/vulnerable to breaking/Chrome,wht,green n' blue- GLORY!...

I can't believe that Johnny J didn't have this one at the top of his list...

How 'bout Scott Towne?..

Here's Mine! Every bike I own is expendible if the price is right, except this one. It will NEVER be sold aslong as I am alive!

The boring story how I found it again after 17+ years....
The long boring Robinson hunt

Hey all,
I know I’m rehashing an old thread but I thought I’d share my Grail with the group. I just went through the family archives and found the bike that got me into BMX and ultimately brought me back.

I know it’s a modest Grail but it’s the reason I want to get back into this. Ramon…do you know what parts came stock on an 84 Diamond Back Viper? I remember I added the Uni Seat and Z-rims but beyond that I think everything else was stock. Thanks

My Skyway T/A that I've owned since new.
Other than that, Kuwahara KZ-1. The ads of the chrome and blue one in BMXA had me drooling, "When the competition's rough...Kuwahara." I thought it was the best bike in the world. So after I got this BMX bug and got close to restoring my Skyway, I picked up a KZ1. Along with that a Lazerlite and a 24. Slowly putting together all 3.
Jim Brannen
Wow, I sure would love to see that pic of the 26/24 quad. I wonder where that f/f is? Some nice grails here.
KOSY-MOTO
ALot of I gots.. and haves but no photos? please place cards on table!! show us your pixs!!
mcam
Ok Osamas, here's the pictures of my first two grails...

I wanted a 1982 GT24, which I started hunting for on this site, which is what I raced bitd. Since building this, I found the 1981 GT26 (I bought it from Ginny, it used to be her bike). After all that, I found out where my old 1982 GT 24 is. Its in a sad shape, but I hope to have it back this year.


KOSY-MOTO
OH mcam.. dont do that to me.. those GT's just stpped my heart from beating.. WOW!!
AussieRampar
There are two guys on this site who know my holy grail- Randy and DaddyGoose.

If I had the money I would be posting pics of them completed rather than settling for a desktop image of D/Gs example mocking me every time I turn the computer on.

-Pete.
Rod Miles
Here was my first....


I have wanted one of these since back in 1976. I use to look into my old BMXA's and dream of this bike......... it's a 1976 Cheetah made by JG Manufacturing


When completed it will be built as this bike..


Rod Miles
akcuda
Alright, here it is:



I have since built it up to stock specs, but I can put it back this way if I feel the urge.

I've got to make a change or two to my BMX HG before I post it here.

Randy
Lovin that Cheetah Rod!

TIM
here's one...

hemidart1
about a year before I quit racing I first saw one of these at the indoor track in Michigan where I would race in the winter. It blew me away....the color, the look, ....it was THE bike I wanted. Sadly, I never got it. It was very expensive and racing ended for me a year later.
I'd love to have one......

'86 Redline 600c hazard yellow/chrome.

Had MINE, but it went out with the trash one day at mom's.
Just JeffB now
I always wanted an ELF. I never knew anyone who had anything other than a mini, but there was something mysterious about them. parts list would go something like this:

Dk pro stem, forklifter bars, flight cranks w/ sealed flight BB, Perigrine HP 48`s w/ large flange hubs, was never too picky about seats,odessy drain pipe seat post, Hutch Donut seat clamp, pitbulls, hutch pedals. And it would HAVE to have a chrome/blue color scheme with some blue barefoot tires.

This thread is like bmx porn.

My WEBCO PRO! When I finish it!
MarkinNaples
Man, those 24 GT's are blinging, rechromed?
