been looking at a couple of these on the web,can old school parts be used on one of these,eg,cranks stem etc,might have to get one of these unless i can get a gen1 for a reasonable price :daumenhoch:
-
Horrible things......you can put any crank you want in one but stem wise, you'll have to use a 1 1/8th stem rather than an old school one.
But for the money, I'd get something better

cheers pickle thats decided then,didnt want to buy one,really want a gen1 was just checking,nice1 :daumenhoch:

Seriously bud, Rob's right - they were terrible :-\ Not even 100% chromo.
If you want to hang it on the wall, spend about £1,500 on a Gen1 and it'll have cost you so much you won't dare ride it :shocked: :shocked: :'(
If you want to ride a double top tube bike, join Ed209 and get a Supercross Extension (see it in bike of the month) or if you can't be arsed to build one yourself, just buy Steve Cost's Suburasa DTT and be done with it :daumenhoch:
Ed's bike :yahoo_silent:

Retro look new school technology bikes are where it's at for us olt-timers - I'm an old Mongoose fan and I'm one of the lucky very few to have a Knightbikes RetroGoose :smitten:

Get a gen 1 copy , just been looking at mine in da workshop . Nice looking piece of kit . I personally ride a Haro Zippo ,which is a twin top tube mid school tank but with a bit of love / brutalaty can be riden ok . Retro feel with a nice low price tag . I have a spare complete and a spare spare frame and forks .
