2008 retro quadangle v's old school quadandle info and help
Threaders:
Hi. I am thinking of getting a 2008 retro quadangle as pictured below
I have never owned a quadangle before, and have only had experience with building old school bmx's so far. I have tried to get some pics of these built up with old school parts, to see what they look like and have only managed to find a couple shown here:
This was from an old ebay listing and despite the parts being a bit naff, the geometry looks a bit weird as well. Are there differences in the frame length between the older quadangles and the new ones??
This one looks more like it, but dont know if its a new school build or old school.
I guess my question is do these 2008 retro quads look good built up with old school parts and does anyone have some links of these newer ones built up??
Also seat post size states 25.5, so where do you get them from??
Am I best just to stick with old school frames??
Many thanks and your help will be appreciated

Heres my pub bike, 2009 complete, but i've out the changed wheels, bars, pedals tyres, chainring/spider, and seat/post since new.
This was it out of the box, apart from tyres, bars and pedals.
To be honest, i'm looking forward to falling off it so I can justify a re paint, when it'll go all white/ black, more old school look.
I cant justify the spend on a real one, this looks quite similar, and is a bit more `adult sized', so i'm happy with it.
Mine came from CRC for £280 complete (thats less than half the list price) earlier this year, which I thought was a bargain

For riding - get the New Skool.
For showing - get the Old Skool.

this one was old schooled on the blackpool berm, took the lugs off and put on DC's and levers, swapped the cranks etc, looked the nuts

:) Seatpost is 25.4mm and is the standard new school post size avail from any BMX shop.Poss too flexy for serious riding but just my view.I just don`t get why people chop the brake lugs off as new school brakes work much better(and brake block alignment can be a pain.) It`ll be reducer cups on the headtube next and running them with shafted stems & 1" forks :daumenhoch:
