OLD SCHOOL Vs MID SCHOOL Vs NEW SCHOOL

<< < (7/11) > >>

Ah I'm building the perfect bikes for this thread!

I'm building a mid school usa built floval and ripper but with the LOOK and feel of OS bikes but also with some Newschool components for performance sake.  My goal was to have the heritage of OS but ridable (geometry wise) today without the lesser quality of some of the Newschool bikes (give me a U.S. built ripper over the latest stuf anyday!)

I'll get a piccy up.

i know my first reply was probably a little inflammatory but after thinking about all this "V" stuff in the shower this morning i've come to the conclusion its "all a load of bollocks"

were all talking about the same thing,

the double diamond bicycle frame.

my first mongoose motomag 20something years ago had the basic same frame design as my laf,
two triangles for the strength and somewhere to put the wheels, this isnt even a "bmx" design, its way older than that!
no matter how many extra bits of tube you stick on or what colour you paint it, its the same principle.

AND whether or not its old/new/mid is also pretty irrelevant as its the use of the design that gives us a common interest!
for instance,

double diamond frame,36 spoke wheels, h-box bar, "20 wheels........sound familiar?
its a bmx isnt it?

everything else is just details.
i love old school bikes in the same way i love mid school bikes and new school bikes, i dont honestly think i prefer one over the other :daumenhoch:

"new school bikes all look the same"

anyone who seriously thinks that needs to have a re-think, i for-one am sick of hearing it :daumenhoch:
its alot of bollocks really isnt it?
if you look through any bmx magazine or website you will find bikes "new school" bikes of all different shapes,sizes and colours!
if you cant tell the difference between them thats your ignorance :daumenhoch:

maybe its the fact that most riders these days take all the stickers off? that its just riders these days dont want to feel like theyre advertizing company slogans on something thats personal to them?
thats really what its comes down to isnt it?

colours and stickers?

OrgasmDonor:
absofookinlutely,

thing is with new school, is that it hasn't got the sentiment or nostalgia value yet, like i said earlier its gonna be this generations oldschool and the arguement will start again, as for them all looking the same, yes they are different but they all look the same to me, shite :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

dialledbikes:
I think some of the old school restorations look amazing.  They're our heritage and I could look at them all day.

But gimme a new school bike to ride any day of the week.  They might not look as nice, but bikes are for riding, not looking at, and new school bikes just feel so much better and more stable to ride.
