right youve got a good mid school frame and forks
and want to build it up,what are the best parts you
would throw at it.
then i might build one up mixing up your parts.

showtime · « **Reply #1 on:** November 17, 2006, 11:15 PM »

Profile cranks, S&M Slam bars & SuperPros do it for me

oh yeah, no Gyro & long flapping rear brake cable too

Just have a look at your stash Dan, you have all the must have bits

showtime · « **Reply #3 on:** November 17, 2006, 11:36 PM »

BTW you'll need to cut about 2 inches off each end of the bars too if you wanna be true midschool

harris · « **Reply #4 on:** November 17, 2006, 11:39 PM »

dan tries to fix bikes not cut bits of them

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #5 on:** November 18, 2006, 12:46 AM »

Maybe Standard 6 piece bars. You could go with a gyro, AD990 of course and maybe an ACS Boa up front or an AD on a plate.

Yeah, i was gonna say that but some peeps don't like to drill their forks out...... I loved mine when I had it on my 94 Condor

Lazarou · « **Reply #11 on:** November 18, 2006, 07:23 PM »

I have one for sale

Stodgy · « **Reply #12 on:** November 19, 2006, 08:32 AM »

Hmmmm...for me it's got to be anything Hoffman (surprise, eh?!). But really; AD990, Bulldog calipers, GT Profile Cranks and Odyssy bits and pieces are the staples for a mid-school build...and in the later 90's I would say Primo made an impact with tyres and Powerbite cranks (they used to do some great colours).

Super-high end you only really had JAD which seemed to be really overpriced and a bit wierd. Don't know how good they were.

stuntmaster · « **Reply #13 on:** November 19, 2006, 11:22 AM »

Profile Whippit chainrings, Trifans for an early 90's look

Bloody hell. Thats hit the nail on the head right there

Just about sums it up.

Although because I was old during the midschool, I never felt the urge to join sides (s&m/standard). I went for Hoffman simply because he inspired me to get back on a bike - seemed like the right thing to do.

DK stems unless you had a few quid, then it was TNT
