Mikee Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 @Ross McArthur I interpreted bikes that aren't yours, not frames. But I did hold off until you broke the possible rules first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbertlemon102 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I was going for a “the one that got away” vibe. Didn’t want to end up seeing people posting pictures of their own bikes, going “this was my dream bike, so I got one!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwtrials Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I bought one of Ryan Leech's old red and white manifesto's off pinkbike awhile back. It was short a couple parts, so wasn't exact, but was pretty cool. Shortly thereafter sold it. So it's the bike I've always had feelings for and the one that got away. One of the only bikes I really regret selling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shrewsbury Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Always wanted a pace trials bike. Found on google images. One of Akrigg’s first ever bikes I believe. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HendrikV Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Dual disc Megamo Equip Pro: Original Coustellier St. Blaize.. Probably it rides exactly the same as the Zoo knockoff (first Pitbull), but what a pretty bike: And then there was my all time favorite MK2 Ashton Justice, the bike that I never thought I would see in person. But late last year I managed to get one, so it is off this list now. Loving every ride on it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Chainspotting era Martyn Ashton red Beast of the East with Racelines, CODA cranks and the tri-colour Flite saddle is very droolworthy. The Boxx is definitely up there. Vario Tibo XL (always wished there was a mod version of that with the moto seat). And on the posting your own old bike side of things I still liked my Repsol orange rimmed 221PR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 The old CLS Pythons, was a bit of a fan boy back in the day but could never afford one. Kind of glad I didn't as I ended up having a go on one and found out I preferred chainstays that fit within one post code area. Never meet your heroes dream-frames. The Brisa B20D and the original Koxx Levelboss bikes too - lusted after them after going to one of the early 2000's Bike Shows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Edd tongues cream pashleys. Matt tongues GHz. Kris leesons bikes. ( I used to only reaally like steel bikes!) Lastly.. Sounds sort of strange but.. My old bike... Wait, hold on... Here me out.. After the guy who bought it from me sent it back to Clive to have disc tabs welded f+r and the frame rawd and lacquered, the old school 3piece dmr ring thing bashguard machined down.. It looked so good I kind of wish I could get it back! So yes, I kind of owned this bike ( I designed it!) But what's been done to it makes me really want it back! Its so unique.. https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/142180976908_/Leeson-609-Custom-24-Full-Trials-bike-Chris.jpg IMO the Geo is perfect, and seat tube height :).. Anyone know where this is now?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 This Echo ES4 from some bloke in Looe i think from way back when always ticked the right boxes for me. And The customer Prototype BT 5 that prawn sprayed up that I was lucky enough to own for a while. hands down one of my favorites 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Mark is right, don't meet your heros/dream frames. I finally got a Crescent and it was perfect, but couldn't hold a candle to a modern bike. Sold it for a loss not that long ago. That said the Bianchi colorway always blew me away And I was fortunate to own one of these (but with real tires) and it rode as good as it looked: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
