..I've got a bunch of General projects going on ( but I think Raul is the only one who cares about that ) and I'm starting to collect bits for a replica bike that's a bit weird...
carldrexler
right now i have two in the works freestyle bike projects. one is the 86 diamondback strike zone that i wanna find at least the original forks for and the 87 gt freestyle tour that i might build to original condition.

the non- freestyle project i have is a bike i wanted in the mid 90s that i couldn't get since i didn't have cash at the time which is a 97 gt pro series...

i try to build the least money losing way i can.. like picking trash constantly, going to scrap yards, and whatever.

i am looking to build a ron wilkerson replica. like the sport he rode in late 88 (hes riding it in freestylin march 89 on the cover and on the subscripe page doing a sprocket grind)

Not Eddie Roman
My Trickstar is a rough Dominguez replica, so I'd someday like to do a Dominguez Sport to go with it. Also, a red Blyther FST and a red Voelker Pro Compe Team.

Odds are I'll probably never do any of them—photos are enough.

a cheap one....the rarest of all....

I've got the only one I ever wanted, my 84 red FST, Blyther style but I would love a Strike Zone for sure just dont have the money!!

I just want to get my Proline frame & fork built. I plan to build it the same as my old race bike.
revcore
I would love to build one of every model Revcore. I would also love to build one of the very first Auburn CR20RX's. Of course there would have to be the Hutch's, JMC's, GT's and Goose's. but my heart will always be with the Revcore's and Auburns.

RL20II, DB Sr. Pro (had 1 BITD and loved this ride, chrome FF w/blue and gold components) and I would like to find some old scooters like Mongoose or GT and build/ride them. Had a mini-scoot and it was so easy to trick on.

Well I bought a Looptail P.k. last year that needs a little work common drilled seat post tube ,rear dropouts to be cleaned up. I think I paid $150 for the frame and its over $250 for the repairs so that'll wait. I am doing nother PPF and the Master soon to follow

the haro master is one bike i havent done....did a sport as well as a fst but no master yet

Hutch Trickstar and a Haro Master

If... I say IF I were to ever, ever do any sort of "old bike" builds... which I'm not inclined to do because I don't have any money at all... I do have a short list of stuff I'd want to do.

The bikes I had: '87 Haro Master, '87 Mongoose Decade

The bikes I wanted: '92 Ground Master (or was that '91?), or a Bully2, or especially an Ozone... and, as a nod to my racing past, I'd think about a Hutchins Judge II (from the short-lived early-'90s US-made resurrection). And maybe a GT PFT from no specific year.

If I did it, I wouldn't go for "Stock" or "Replica" builds, I'd do it the way I would've set them up for riding back then, and probably mix in new and/or mid-school stuff so they wouldn't be era-correct. In fact, if'n I had my way, there'd probably be 1" threadless Hoffman Superforks on all of 'em. But the point's moot, because my budget right now only allows for admiring pictures of youse guys' builds.

I want to do a trickstar 2, since everyone hates them.
agentheinz
At first, a replica of my own Trick Star from BITD, but then, no. But then again, maybe.
Smokin Endo
Hey Thlayli I know where there is an NOS Bully2 F&F&B's for like $200 LMK if it's something your interested in


As for me, there are a few scouts missing from the camp. I would like to get a General RL Pro, a Quad Freestyler, a GJS Freestyler, and a Profile Prostyler but only time will tell. Who knows I may start building race bikes (or maybe not LOL)

Now if we're talkin specifics then you would be talking about the Eddie Replica I'm in the mix with (need some second gen Graphites OUCH)

Brian
akcuda
Haro Freestyler or 84 Master

i would just go out to the garage and look at my 1st gen haro freetyler..then walk back in knowing i saved alot of money building it back in the ealy eighties when i bought the f/f new..lol...matt.
Axman
for my next project, I want to build a kuwahara of some kind.

And on the whackier side of life...i want to mod a 20 freestyler frame with a few gears and go on a road trip.
Blue_Max
id really like to build a haro master, ive never owned one in my entire life. in the future id also like to attempt a replica build of ron wilkersons 1986 haro sport or brian blythers red fst.
