mid school for me!
especially when growing up looking at lazarou's creations. show bikes all the way, however on the other side of of that coin, still in mid school, seeing a slightly beaten up street bike (sort of how mine is at the moment) gives a special feeling, because what goes with looking at a bike is also what that bike has been through and done. i suppose a sense of use adds to the attraction of a particular bike! hard to explain. i might be on my own with this! for instance, i remember going to the bike show in 97 i think and joe rich had his beaten up barcode prototype, bear metal and rusting. to me it looked so fookin cool, but part of that attraction was what i'd seen the guy do on it, like thinkin that bikes just fufanu'd that hand rail, or its just icepicked that quarter, gives the bike a sense of history and ultimately adds to its attraction!
unfortunately i don't get this with any other era because the bikes were/are too simple
or am i just a sensative fellow!

They all have the plusses and minuses.
Oldschool do have some weird angles and short top tubes, but are stunningly beautiful and lets face it they started the whole sport.
1978 DeCoster
Mid-School I missed personally but I really do appreciate them now, in fact I love some of the midschool bikes on here, but they are not all heavy and have snapped ;)
1991 Bully Piston Race
Newschool, I really do love because you can do what you want to the bikes and they will take it and ask for more. Newschool used to be really boring to look at (black, black and black), these days people have realised colours and nice looking bikes are cooler than black and beat up looking.
2007 SE Quadangle Retro
Overall, any BMX is ace to me as I love them all and love this sport.
