Has old skool been done to death ?? .........................
MartyC:
Old school has had it, it's passed, dead and buried. Now give me all your old school bikes especially those gen 1 Haro's, I'll make sure they are taken care of appropriately >:D :LolLolLolLol: :buck2:

I must admit, when I, as a brand new member a few months ago said that I was getting a Haro Gen 1 and was going to build it in a Bob Haro replica style, I received a response that said "Oh no. ANOTHER Bob rep". As it happens, I've not got all the bits to do a perfect Bob rep anyway. Meh.
So yeah, you could be right on the build front. Most of the iconic rides have been done many times over. People are still pulling some cracking builds out from nowhere though. There have been some fantastic bikes built up in the last few weeks by RAD members. That gorgeous red & white T/A, the pink Reflex, Harris' VDC, Dave's Torker, Juilan's mind blowing Burner collection to name but a very few.
I think that people will always want to get something fresh built just for that 'Wow factor'. Of course, we only have a finite amount of bikes to play with. Old school means exaclty that... old. If a new bike with new geometry and a different look gets made, it can't be old school by its very name and era of production. It's only natural for people to want to move on and look for something different. Mid school hasn't really been tapped into, as far as I can tell. Maybe that's what people are doing, looking for that elusive forgotten about frame.
No real answer i'm afraid, just a lot of reasonably inexperienced opinion.

Old School for me all the way, just take a look at how every bike looked different and you could more or less tell what it was from 100 metres away, now they all look the same from 10 metres away.
OLD SCHOOL ROCKS!!!!!

Old school for showing and collecting, new school for riding. :daumenhoch:
