Re:

Jeez, haven't done this in ten years plus, Times have changed and so has my list, but that Nitro is still at the top because I have always wanted it, I tried but they wouldnt let it go, then they brought it out at the shows one year.... breezer kite is a very close second although cheese wire and balls could be a bad combo!


10. Horny Toad - Ohhh yeah
9. 1991 Marin Team Issue - the nice monostay chainstay one
8. 1989 Kona Hei Hei - early Ti
7. Brodie Catalyst - because (see pic)
6. Trimble Gizbag - Just gotta try it, weird pic.
5. Denton Team hot pies - where is it now?
4. 1991 rocky mountain thunderbolt - never seen one in the catalogue colours
3. Roberts Dogs Bolx SE - ie, not a bog standard one
2. Breezer Kite - So Beautiful
1. Kestrel Nitro - So Rare

Lot of those are out there, Jez might sell you the Denton, (if you mean the white and green with straight fork and U-Brake mounted under the seat stays)
TPC put the Brodie up for sale not long after it was built, not sure if sold. Ill bear you in mind for the DB if I cant find the correct fork, as for the Nitro, if you get it, I'm coming to yours with tea and biscuits and a sleeping bag.....lol.

That is the frame design I'm picturing althought I remember the Purple & yellow? with white decals from the MBUK, controlled endo, etto with ears and a face for the camera with a massive tongue sticking out! would love to see one (let alone own one) though, rather than a Denton respray.

as for the Nitro, if you get it, I'm coming to yours with tea and biscuits and a sleeping bag.....lol.

If I got that the champagne would be out too fella

Re:

Mine would be:

1- My main Unicorn, a 1992 Orange Clockwork in silver/grey with the classic decals.

2- Dogs Bollox in the classic white/black.

3- Yo Eddy in Aqua Fade.

4- Orange Formula.

5- The first GT RTS-1. In progress

6- 1990 Team Marin pink/grey with white decals.

7- Jellybean Salsa.

8- 1990 Alpinestars Al-Mega.

9- One of the 1991 Saracen e-stays.

10- A proper Klein.

Needless to say many of these are attainable but it's the condition that's key. They'd have to be pretty much mint originals for me to be interested (with a few exceptions).
