Post by: Stodgy on June 22, 2006, 03:35 PM: Yep - I'm a mid-school collector too...it's harder than old school to source info and parts...

Look out for magazines on ebay - thats your best bet for info.

And for parts, ring round the shops, they often have the parts in the back somewhere!

What ya planning on building?

Title: Re: mid school bmx's
Post by: showtime on June 24, 2006, 07:50 PM: the main trouble with midschool stuff is there wasn't a whole lot of companys making decent bikes as BMX wasn't poular back then! which means only hardcore BMXers were still riding & their stuff got literally ridden into the ground!
BMX was also evolving then & the frames were having to be made stronger & heavier to cope so pretty much all the early midschool stuff got broken & thrown away :-\
