Ive just been reading through this thread and had to comment.
I have thought about it long and hard and i reckon im just one of those 'art collectors' who just look at the piece they have got and think WOW. I could literally glaze at them all day. I love them, but i love all old skool bmx's.
Im at work at the moment and ive got all my TA's here. I have literally spent about an hour of the day today just looking at them. They are so fooking georgeous.
I rode my white TA about 2 months ago. It was the best thing ever. So cool........a gleaming white bike with white tuff two's and funky colour grips and pedals. How many of them do ya see on the road now? But there again how many bikes do ya see like this at all now in the new skool scene? To me, new skool bikes look dull and heavy and have all got spokes!! But in fairness I have never had one, so i havent given myself a chance to appreciate them.
I also took my Haro over a local skate park and the kids flocked around it. I was gutted though as they hadnt even seen tuffs before. They said that the only bikes theve seen mags on was little 2 and 3 year olds bikes. So true! Mark my word, if you could make a bike that emulated the old skool bikes and put tuffs on them you could start something! You could make ya self a rich man if ya did it right.
Old skool was fun, changing parts, colour schemes, and taking the piss out of ya mates cos he's got a tikagi 1 piece and you got redline flights. :daumenhoch:

You never lived in Stevenage then mate! :LolLolLolLol: you were lucky to have a Tikagi or Sugino 1 piece crank! :LolLolLolLol:

Mate, we all had them here in Kingston. ;)
Whats weird, is that i used a Takagi on one of my white TA's and a Sugino on my Haro recently!!! They are sweet to ride.
:idiot2: Considering i used to rip the fook out of them when i was younger. WHY?????
