Title: OK Lets Build The Ulltimate Old School BMX (as voted for by RAD members)
Post by: jimmyp on January 12, 2010, 12:21 PM
Ok had this idea for a while, just wondering what kind of old school bmx we would come out with if we picked what we thought where the best of the old school BMX parts.

This is How it would work, each week ill pick a part, lets say Pedals and from Mon - Thursday we'll all debate and put in the thread what we think are the best pedals with pic and description of why that particular part should be on our, RAD'S Ulltimate Old School BMX. Then from Friday to Sunday we'll all vote on the Pedals that have been put forward. Which ever wins the vote will be the part which will go onto the RAD's Ulltimate Old School BMX

You can pick whatever part you want and for whatever reason you think its the best as long as the part is from 1975-1988

Let me know what you think and ill start the thread next Monday  :daumenhoch:

When we are finnished we can get Radman to build the bike up to see what it will look like  :LolLolLolLol:

Ok Jimmy, if its Pedals first then my vote is for Skyway Graphite pedals, they are superb to look at, they feel quality, they are part of a long line of parts from maybe one of the most respected old school brands and to me they shout out Race.

My fav pedals and imo the best quality.

Looks like a good idea, wonder what it will look like in the end, especially with people who only swear by plastic pedals without any bearings  :crazy2: :LolLolLolLol:

DX'S were the pedal to have back then.

We need to find out if its gonna be a freestyle build or a race build, that will affect the choices of parts we will put forward.

Now if it a race bike, while i agree DX's were the tool for the job, in my ultimate build i would put on Skyway Graphs as they feel race look race and are the ultimate race pedals......IMOtm

thats exactly how I remember it, but skyways are lovely, as for hutch beartraps arent they just ugly looking shin wreckers that cost a fookin fortune

lovely
