New Retro bmx

(1/7) > >>

generallee:
Id like the opinion of fellow radsetrs on something thats been on my mind a long time...
If a new bmx company brought out a retro inspired bmx frame, what would YOU want to see on it? colours? Bottom bracket type? Headset type? Brake mounts? Looptial or not? etc etc.
This is a serious question dudes as Im having a little think about going down this route - Ive always wanted to go into bike manafcture - and would like to perhaps have a brand that is good looking, slightly nostalgic and with its roots firmly in fun. Id not be interested in competing with the big boys and there modern tuff - just something thats good and rideable for us older fellas out there who like their bike to look a certain way.
Anyway, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,
cheers!

no canti or v brakes thats my 2 pennys worth

generallee:
im possibly thinking thats the way to go too Dan. If it was a complete bike option, then Id need to source a very good caliper brake - not sure whats out there though...

harris:
i know what your saying steve 990s for me on a retro build  just dont like the look or instant feel
even thou levers have better adjustment on some.
what style are you thinking of frame that is race freestyle or along kappa lines

generallee:
im thinking more race/dirt in design really - though am keeping an open mind.
