Old school only i'm afraid Paul.  :)

Andy, the fact it's alien to me is kinda what's getting me going, that gt that was posted up, if I was to build that, I wouldn't have a clue were to start, and that's almost like a new boob job on a missus that you love 😍

I don't know, I'm sorta finding my way out my own recession, cpl more bills to pay then I'm out again.
Mid school, or at least one rare bike that I have no idea about maybe on the cards to go alongside my super goose 3 😁

I stopped riding 85/86, thought all later stuff was shite for a long time, then you started noticing splashes of quality and things outa the ordinary and if you ride you get usable great handing strong bikes to boot.  :daumenhoch:

old for wanking, mid for spanking  :police:

I raced up to 1990 but was still on OS bikes at that point.
At that point I would have killed to have ridden the Revcore/Boss type bikes that were appearing, and the few mid bits that I had (Revcore bars, early Crupi stem as id'd by Orgasm Donor) were really well made and better fit for purpose than the OS stuff I'd bent and broken.

Having come back I've ridden a mid Haro myself, as well as trying out Freeagents, TNTs etc - they are all WAY better than the OS stuff. Of course my first memories are of Old Skool BMX so nothing will change that, I'm just not looking at those bikes with rose-tinted specs.

The early 90's bikes are 'old school' enough for me! Caliper brakes and 1" stems.

I still don't understand how mid-school started in 1986/7 but that's another debate - I rode up until 89 then moved to mountain bikes. 90 is when mid school kicked off for me but the early 90 bikes give me almost the same nostalgic feeling as many of the top riders were still cranking.

Another great thing about early 90's bikes is they're generally cheaper to buy and parts are not that difficult to find - but there's still enough 'hunt' in the project to make it just as satisfying. In fact some of the mid school bikes seem rarer than a lot of old school bikes - but maybe that's just me.

Granted none of my grails are mid school but I probably couldn't afford them anyway so the early mid school bikes feed the habit...

Try one.

The reason it starts at 1986 on here is because everybody complained when I set the section up and had Midschool starting at 1990.  We held a vote and it was decided that it would start at 86 so 86 it starts at.
