Title: Am I turning to the dark side ?
Post by: bobafett on December 11, 2010, 11:31 PM

I found my self looking and for the first time liking some of the new school rides rolling round ramp city last night  :-[

There was a particularly nice chrome number with red ano bits and a real nice candy blue frame/forks/bars set-up too -I was surprised how tastey they both looked.

Sniffin round the google-plex i quite like this too.............

Someone tell me it's wrong.... please  :D

Get one built dude even if its just for occasional use, just as much fun as building an old school bike...  :daumenhoch:

The bikes you're on about from last night are Karl's chrome S&M LTF and Will's United K40

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/m48/markw33/united_K40_frame_blue570.jpg)

Carl , Like I said t'other night to you mate ,Diggler will look after you  :D

Seriously though ,what he doesn't know about what's hot and what's not ain't worth knowing

Why do you think Ade won Best new school ride of the year on here  :4_17_5:

.If you want the best looking bike , you'll build it  :daumenhoch:

It can be just as rewarding  as building a NOS parted oldie .

target go for a sub 21lb bike   ;) :4_17_5:

Go halfway and get one of the Midskool gems that are kicking around from time to time, my black dirtbike feels as nice as any modern frame/bike I have had and its way cooler, for the stuff I do its perfect and it didnt cost more than £300 and it aint that heavy at 28lb. I built a 21lb deluxe laced with top trinkets earlier this year, it was an amazing bike to look at but my dirtbike feels nicer :-\ and its a 1/4 of the cost

Stands me at £300

Bit more but Betty is selling a frame and forks cheap
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/p70/simonjturner/IMGP0519.jpg)

I sold this early on this year, complete as you see it ......for £300  :'(

Mid bargains are still around, look on ebay for completes and pimp where appropriate  :daumenhoch:

 :wtf: All the new school BMX's I've seen around my hometown (Blackpool) seem to have a seat pointing in the air and the post lowered right down, handle bars that are too small, no front brake and they all seem to be black! They all look heavy as well.  :tickedoff:

I do like watching Daniel Dhers, Jamie Bestwick & Ryan Guettler riding though  :4_17_5:

Carl found a frame you might like, perfect for an LFC nut

Ahhh , you know where I'm coming from though ,,shagger ,don't ya ?  ::)

Hell ,any half decent custom bike set up, you could piece up  is more than good enough for our talents once you 've decided the  frame size that suits you best.
 so ideally seeing as these guys like many of us are collectors and like if a build looks cool or pretty aswell, so that adds to the interest  ;)

Plus you know when you go to a park somebody(tight jean-ed) is always eyeing up your bike, weighing up kudos points  ::)

You're as bad Pete , for having the latest bits on yours , pimpin'

I've been looking at those since they came out Christian - any one seen any reports on how they ride then - compared to an out and out well respected new-schooler ?

Would look ace done with new school bits but with a retro flavour  8)

As you said John , It'd be good to actually get an un-biased review from a rider/tester , to see how they perform

You're not gonna beat a new school bike , for riding , but these are still  a cool intresting option
