Ride ya bikes kids, if they break, buy another one with the £500 you were thinking of spending on some pedals that will give you a lazy lob for 2-3 seconds (maybe) but then will become just another "investment" to hang up/store away/put on finger tight to a build that you thought would exite you, that actually now you have built it..................
As someone said earlier, Bikes is fer ridin.
I love em all, every single one of em. Dont slag em off, they have feelings you know :daumenhoch:

What I find absolutely unforgiveable about new school is the diabolically boring colour schemes, its like a lot of them have no soul put into them...

ffs dude did you even bother to read the rest of this thread or did you just type out the same old tired shit?
you've given this alot of thought eh?
where?
right i'll try and make it simple to understand,
a red bike then is a red bike now
a yellow bike then is a yellow bike now
a black bike then is a black bike now
and so on,and so on.......
comprende?
so whats changed? you name me an old school colour bike and i'll show you a new school one thats basically the same colour :daumenhoch:
N\S bikes, frames and parts are available in more colours than the O/S bikes ever were, if you tried reading a current bmx magazine or looking at a few other websites you'd see that with your eyes,
purple ano, green, brown even pink! want a neon green frame? fbm make one! want a chrome frame? easy! eastern make one!
have you even looked at the fly site? (thats a bmx company btw) colours?
i think tbh, youre getting confused with the "mid school,when it was popular for alot of bikes to be black or dark,tough tones,
and the only thing thats "unforgiveable" about the N/S is the build quality on that "80's ford capri colourway" supercross frame you posted :daumenhoch:
at the risk of sounding redundant "i like bmx's"
give me one and i'll like it and ride it, regardless of its colour :LolLolLolLol:
imo anyone that says they prfer one "school" over another is a "right fooking bellend"
because its ALL bmx isnt it?
and as far as N/S frames having "no soul put into them"
are you mad? todays frames and companies are run by riders that stuck with the sport when it wasnt popular, when haro/gt/etc had sold there arses for a few quid!
take s&m bikes for instance, run by one of the biggest characters in bmx, that loves bmx and has done for years, a dude that genuinely cares and is interested in the frames he puts out there!
andf lets face it, s&m are right at the very top :daumenhoch:
no soul?
:LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

Yeah I did read the rest of this thread, but remember the thread is asking for opinions, that's my opinion, I didnt say I didnt like new school, I said I just find it bland, and I do... No amount of arguement will change that. We'll agree to disagree on what we like.
Sure I havent looked up every new school bike to see what colour it is, but then when I ride or walk out on the street all I seem to see is dull browns, blacks and baby shit green. They may well ride better but I want more from my bike than two wheels and a frame.
I like the look of the S-7, you dont, as for the 'build quality' well I wouldnt know as I dont own one, do you, or are you privvy to some salacious information to which your average consumer is unaware...I dunno and to be honest I dont really care.
Just so you know my bikes are...
1978 Raleigh Chopper Black Prismatic Mk2
1984 Gen2 Haro Master
1983 Skyway TA
2 x 2006 Haro Retro sports
2007 SE Racing Retro Ripper
and I wouldnt swap them for the world....
Guess by your standards my bikes must be a bit shit then :2funny:
Ray.
