Has Oldschool Bmx building had its day?

One final word,... Everyone has their own grail, and builds what they desire, respect others.., if you like someones build, give +++ feedback, if you dont like it, dont comment, lets not slag each other off, just cos they dont build what you like... Be boring if we all liked the same bikes

Top comment, my Mum always said "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing".

I'm building again. I've got most of what I need, just seat and grips, oh and decals needed. Prices are reaching a crescendo that will leave quite a few out of pocket before long. Buy bits you want because you like em, buying the most expensive bits to impress others isn't what old school Bmx is about, it's just a bit sad. :(

A few bits I have sold recently have gone to collectors who never had or did Bmx bitd, they have only starting collecting for the sake of collecting, old school bikes ain't just for old school bmxers

And they're the w4nkers that are pushing prices up, they're in it as an investment and not for the love :tickedoff:

Definately life in the old dog yet, but like some others have said, I think it has a finite life which will catch some people out when it goes. Personally I think it's getting harder to build something nice within a sensible budget, even some of the prices posted on here recently are off the charts. For example, I saw something yesterday at £170 posted, when I know you can buy new from a shop for £60 :idiot2:
