Oh dear, saw a advert yesterday for a Fit Eddie 3 new school ride which has chrome forks/bars and tan walls and it got me thinking bugger it shall I jack in old school and get a new bike?
Reasons behind this as I'm bored paying through the nose for hard to get parts which if there not perfect I throw even more money at to get them powdered etc....
Does anybody ever feel like this or am I having a moment of madness, maybe now the suns here I should just get out on my Sport and enjoy it??
Cheers :daumenhoch:

Robbo that pic did nothing to convince me, looks wrong!
I like the chrome forks though, kind wish I'd ordered my Pitchforks in chrome now.

Got chrome forks and bars on my new school looks bling

I came of an old school bike last year an damages a few bits. Seat grips levers and before you know it it is over a ton to replace them so I now ride new school PK Rippers and cruise on my old school bikes. :daumenhoch:
-

I agree with the others here...don't make a new school bike look old, they just end up looking like a mid-life crysis and shite.
IMO you can only get away with tan walls on a NS bike is if you're a little ramp rat on an all black bike, they then look really sweet.
Let a new school be new school and let old school stay in the house.

Or have a mid school rider with skinwalls that weighs 30lb and has a 44T chainring, Rad as fook :daumenhoch:

i quite like making new school look old, as long as you change the decals to suit. here's my fly pantera.

Davros, are you trying to talk me out of spending money with you? lol

at the end of the day it's your bike so do it how you like it.
i ride a 2004 proper dolomite done up as a 88 haro sport (front black/red rest) with black parts.
looks retro,rides great. tanwalls too (khe lamellos on black st martin rims- similar to araya aero style) and i love it.

I like all of em :LolLolLolLol:
Sweet Mid school set ups as long as you try and keep the weight down to around 30lbs
Full on moody stealthed up black N/S rides
and even N/S with a touch of retro going on
If done to look well and more importantly ride well , it's a winner
If you're working to a budget , stick to it ,,, because,,,, just because it ain't ol' school doesn't mean it's gonna be cheap
You can build a mid or N/S and get to upto 1K quite easily :)
