The future of Old school BMX... ?
baldbmxer:
New collectors will have to more patient in their wait for parts as they start to dry up. This is already happening but they will still be available in the future altgough not as often.
Bikes get built, bikes get split and sold on. Collectors move onto fresh pastures whether it be new projects, new interests or responsibilities or even divorce!
Gone are the days when you could order your complete OS custom build of the shelf at Alans, those days are long gone.

I think Mid school gear will be hard to source over here in the UK, there wasnt nearly asmuch Mid gear in this country as the craze had passed. Yes it was available but again there wasnt the variety as there was in the early 80's.
Mid gear is getting popular over the pond, but we didnt have he importers over here so there is a shortage

its grown every year , and has little promotion to a mainstream audience
if we as a country had what , 2000 builds at the mo ,i think thats a high estimate but take 2000 as an example
then that number of good old school bikes will always have people wanting to buy them
no fooker was alive when steam trains , second world war memrobilia,penny blacks were around , but they still get collected
objects of desire will always be collectible#
prices will always shift around dip and fall,but people will always want shiny things

this is just the start,we have had a few years of mad fast building but it will slow for sure ,but the building will go on
collecting and always findin more bits old mid and new.
our collections will get more defined and dialled in better and proper collections will grow.
as i said this first few proper years of old school is like the first rush into a free sweet shop but what is yet to appear will have be more thought about and refined.
we will loose a few of you along the way no dought ,but we aint ever going away and its upto us now to carry this top sh1te on to the future.
