For sure its personal opinion but the way I see it is...

Standard: Pre 95 Shorty / Lengthy / STA has be be right up there as some of their most special bikes. Almost everything they made after that was an adaption of those 3.
DK: 95 DK legend (Made by BOSS) was a bike that won AA Pro mains and Dirt circuit finals. Legend indeed!
S&M: K9 Dzine, Mad Dog, OG Dirt Bike, OG Holmes, Challenger, HAF, Menstrual Cycle..... All Pre 95.
TNT: Longfellow, Stovepipe, HFD, all pre 95 and rest of their mid bikes were all adaptions of these.
2 Hip: Didnt the Pork first arrive in 95? And the Stout boy and Big boy were definitely 95 models. For me those 3 sum up the best of 2 Hip anyways.
WAL: The Riot is pre 95 and a legendary bike.
Hoffman: Condor, Big Daddy, TAJ, all pre 95 and for me the best of the HB lot.

Homeless, Basic, Ketch, Hyper, Boss, etc, etc all made their best bikes in the early 90's as well.

Dragonfly, KHE, & Eastern were never my cup of tea no matter what year they were made.  :-X

As for T1, FBM, Metal, Solid, WTP, Fit, they all have made great bikes and were all part of the late mid era. Im not suggesting they are not good at all. I own a few of them myself and certainly have my eye on adding a few more to the collection. I just think the bikes from the birth of mid school are a little more special then the ones that rounded it off. They all have their place though for sure.  :daumenhoch:

The problem is you cant call and 88/89 Master old school and a 90 master mid school. They are essentially the same bike. The same can be said for 88/89 PFT and a 90/91 PFT. We all know there are subtle component and frame changes but not enough to split them into different old and new school categories.

For me most of the brands brought in major changes to their bikes in the late 80's which they carried into the 90's, and for me that marked the start of the mid school era. There are of course exceptions which is why I said there are grey areas in my initial post.

90 pft is a whole complete different frame (+ geometry)/ forks, bars and even the post  to a 89 .......89 is exacttly the same as a 87... so cant see how there the same when all they shared was basically the sr power series cranks  :-\
