The death of the all purpose BMX ?

(1/4) > >>

Sanmarcopizza:
Was chatting with ORB and it got me thinking. Back in the early days of BMX, we only had one all purpose bike. You raced it, jumped it and rode park on it. When did that all stop. Did the late 80's freestyle revolution see off the all purpose BMX, making a distinct divide between what you styled on and what you raced ?

What I am trying to find out is, by the early 90's was there still an all purpose BMX, one that benefitted from increased TT length, strength & rigidity, but was still light enough to race ?

ORB:
I can think of a lot of race bikes that got used for FS but cant think of a FS that was a racer?

The Curtis Freestyler is just a Pro with extra tubing so i suppose that is cool.

Hi

I have been meaning to ask for quite a while -


--- Quote ---fst  freestyle race etc..........fsx ....better cos skyways.
--- End quote ---

fst = Freestyle, Street and Track

But what does the FSX mean?

Thanks  ;)
 

Sanmarcopizza:
yeah but I am talking later on I guess, just before AD990 mounts and 1 1/8 headsets, were there any 20"+ TT bikes that were all rounders ?
