Mid school 89-
DIRTBIKER250F:
So I ain't been on the site for a good while really, but it's winter and maybe this year is another build at some point.
What's really striking me is these early mid school bikes, as I really know nothing about them apart from what rads mid collectors post.
I have built or owned nearly 45 bikes in my time, so old school, there is nothing really new to me about it (hunterdubber has most of old school porn anyway).
Does anyone else who has always been primarily old 80s bikes fell these mid school are almost a breath of fresh air in the hobby, could mid become the new old ?
rooski:
When i started out, i didn't look at mid school,but after doing some o/s racing i got into mid bikes as that was what i was riding :D
I started to appreciate how good the bikes were to ride,then built a few with my new rider perspctive :daumenhoch:
Mid school is the transition between old and new obviously, and as such its interesting to me to have some in my collection,plus they are way better to ride :daumenhoch:
Will mid become the new old?, don't know about that,all i know is they are great bikes :smitten:
meticulous:
in short 'no', everything pre 84 for me, mid school are nice as riders (I have a 91 robinson) but for me all its all about my childhood memories for collecting...
southern andy:
Nah, i raced from 83-88 so anything after that is alien to me as pretty much anything before 83 to be honest.
Old school only i'm afraid Paul. :)

Sam, don't you get bored of it, you and me entered this hobby around the same time. I know it's bmx, and 84 and pre are the *classic* years, but there is nothing really that new anymore, fook me I remember selling you a T.A in 2006, 8 years ago....you have had some cracking bikes bud, but we're do you go once you have done a bike 4 different ways.
The only old school bike that I'd sell my kidneys for is the Big Tube, and that's cos I've had that build in my brain for a long time.
2026 had a 89 Kuwi, it was the bollocks, I think if I was to ever build another bike...I'd re ignite my interest by dipping into the unknown, like I did in 2005, I absolutely got immersed in the parts and chase. I need a wing man though, and you were always a good fella for swaps n the hunt.
I may challenge you to a after 88 build in the summer 👍
