why did it take 30 years

(1/2) > >>

selfpreservation:
to arrive at the geometry/setup of new school bikes , its hardly rocket science is it? simple physics isnt it? .....or was it the old story of style vs function with the latter finally winning the battle

Lazarou:
It didn't really, BMX perfection was acheived in the mid to late eighties with the S&M Mad Dog (IMO)

SaMAlex:
The mad dog was a little short and the BB was a bit high (imo).

I cant believe how well my mk1 holmes rode at the weekend. Ive never had one before. Its 17 years old and its got a 21" tt and a 15" back end. How close to most NS frames is that!?

But like Laz said, not that much changed with Geomerty since the nicer bikes of the early 90s

Webdawg:
I dont think it took so long, Alex is spot on, some early 90's bikes were better than todays models, for racing i had the 2 Titans and you couldn't fault the geometry on them :daumenhoch:

stuntmaster:
look at the hutch judge that had the nu skool look of the 80`s
