i think tallpaul has done a good quality no frills or fuss riders bike there and it is the one i would like to own so that's where my vote is going.
out of curiosity though, the mantis and the mountain goat, have these been restored or found in a sealed glass box? no offence meant though, the reason i ask is because i wonder if any effort of restoration has gone in to these by the owners or if they were found/bought as they are pictured. it seems these rare bikes seem to turn up in the US unused more often than overhere
Check the linked picture of the bike in its original state. It was ridden hard by Richard Cunningham and put to bed wet. It has been restored from end to end. (the restoration parts are better than the originals but finding an NOS Suntour 5000 kit would have to be near impossible.

he actually asked me yesterday if I would biuld him a bike and when I asked him what type he said BMX! 
I've gone for clockworkgazz's 'icklework'
I love the look of it (kind of reminds me off a monster truck??) but the xmas spirit has swung it. Just takes me back to how exciting it is to have a new bike when you're that age.
Top job fella!
and its British!

Wow, wasn't expecting such a close run between 2 bikes this early on.
The rest seem to be in a different race!
