oldschool = cinderella, newschool = ugly sisters : discuss

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rombloke:
not quite sure how to take the subject of this thread, so the gen 1 is a beautiful machine, and the retro mirra isnt.

im sure the only reason the old school bikes are cinderella's to us lot is because they are trapped in a tiny corner of our brains, stuck there since 1982....and the new school are ugly sisters because nobody likes change, new school bikes are not ugly sisters, unless you are a 14 yr old ripper riding a scratched and unloved park bike, most of the bikes i see at skateparks are quite nice tho, and undoubtedly a much stronger/better/lighter? frame than we could have ever wanted in the 80s.

heres old ugly boIIocks and her lovely sister......

old school 78-84 cool, middish school 84-87 gay (f00king pinks & neons), mid school 88-94 cool, new school 95-05 cool, now gay colours are making a comeback with metal music & tight pants..thumbs down..

gmac:
I think I've said this here before, but the only new school bikes I like, are the one's that look like the old school ones. Like the retro Haro's the Kappas, and the Parkinsons etc etc

Flaz:
to see the beauty in the new school bike you need to ride them

once you compare the ride  then you see how much better the new school rides are


or to put it another way cinderella might have been goodlooking but  could have been shite in the sack where as the ugly sisters would have probally gone 3 up, took it up the harris and swallowed straight after  ;D  and lets be honest no point having a sexy bird if she dont clean up after her self  aye fellas  ;)

Stodgy:
Well said Flaz. Spot on mate.
