You do know the Neal Wood was a race frame right?
So I ask again, What is the difference between a Neal Wood with integrated Head tube, euro BB, and V brakes, and a Speedwagon with Integrated head tube, euro BB, and V brakes?

About 13-4 years.

The whole world does except for Rad. :daumenhoch:

No it doesn't
BMXsociety defines it as "Pretty much anything from 1988 to early 2000's can go here."

All I want to do is show a bike at MK next year and which category would it fit in
Mid School (going by the dates on forum) or
New School retro

Mid School (going by the dates on forum) job done.
Come on it was a contentious enough issue first time round surely you'd realise bringing it up again it was always going to end up a debate.

This thread isn't for a debate on dates, it's if Gish's frame is Mid - which it is being from 2003. I just find it a bit disappointing that the minority of people who didn't agree with the dates to start with use threads like this to turn it into the same old date debates. Instead of doing that, post more in the Mid section and make it a bit more lively.
@Marty - have a read here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,171969.0.html
40 to 23 in favour of the dates we've got, as through the thread it was decided that the majority wanted either the dates we have or decades and fook off the 'school' idea in it's entirety.
The no in me last post was referring to the fact that the Neal Wood's a race frame, I was trying to point out it's easier to define a street/park bike than a race due to the fairly easy-ish to spot adoption of new school tech.

Not intending to start a debate but if only 63 members of a total 2495 membership voted it's hardly a majority vote at all. Sorry but calling a 2003 race frame Mid School is like calling the Haro Freestyler 30th Anniversay Frame old school, it may look like it but it ain't it. My GT24 is a race bike and a 2004 model, with an integrated headset - mid school? Hardly!

Yep - and the 63 members that voted were probably the one's that frequent and have a fair whack of input for the mid section. More probably saw the thread and didn't vote out of the 2000+ members as they had no desire to, but the vote doesn't show that number - the thread was viewed over 1400 times. The thread was up for over a week, plenty of time to see it and have an input. Thread and vote over, dates defined.
And calling a 2003 race frame mid because of the dates we decided is nowt like calling a Haro Freestyle Anni frame Old School. When was it made? Same goes for your GT24.
It's time for the facepalm - no more date debate

Yeah, I hardly come on here let alone post so it's not a debate then.
Frankly I couldn't give a flying fcuk but do think the rationale applied is flawed. That said, tomorrow night I'll go for a blast on my newly anointed mid school cruiser, I'm off to bed...
Dannywhac:
Well, at least the threads proved you can't please everyone :LolLolLolLol:
