If you were given a choice of buying 1 old school bmx from this short list which would it be
Gen 1 Haro freestyler ,
85 GT proformer ,
skyway TA
i am thinking of getting 1 bike that i always wanted as a kid but cant decide which (not that i have any money yet to buy one :2funny:)
i have narrowed it down to these 3 so which would you buy given the choice??
-
TA for me :daumenhoch:
-
TA :daumenhoch:
-
TA for me...to recreate my bitd ride 8)
-
The TA and the Gen 1 ride shite bud. At least the GT has a 19" top tube.
Buy any off the list to look at, but if you're gonna ride it then you need to buy a Haro Sport over the Gen1 and if you really want a TA then you need the XL but you'd better have deeeeeeeeeepppppp pockets for either. Again the GT would be cheaper i'd argue.
-
Get a JMC Darrell Young ::)
Looks great ,rideable and sought after ;) 8)
-
:-\
i had a TA i should never have sold :idiot2:
But I really do fancy a gen 1 Haro :coolsmiley:
Haro In Chrome :daumenhoch:
-
id go for the gt so not to be common ;D
-
Chrome TA for me :4_17_5:
-
you will end up with all 3 like i have anyway mate
this is one infectious hobby
-
out of those 3 I'd take the gen1, it was thinking about haros that started me off thinking about getting back into BMX
but my budget wouldn't stretch to one so I went for my 85 master instead
all of the above are very nice though, depends what you like mate
-
Thanks for the input guys
out of the 3 the only one i have ever riden was a TA a mate had one bitd. we were at rom and i had a go on it did an ariel out of the bowl and it scared the shit out of me ;D i was always used to heavy bikes and the TA was light as fook .
i had never even seen a gen 1 or Gt proformer in the flesh until volksworld this year but they are both iconic bikes that i used to dream of owning as a kid .
if there was 1 other bike i would add to this list it would be a looptail pk ripper..
i would like to have at least 1 quality bike in my small collection of cheapies :)
my problem is i like them all :2funny:
-
gen 1......all day.
-
Get them all. Don't kid yourself, thinking you will just have one.
-
Gen1, then ebay it and buy something you can actually ride :2funny:

F*CKING TA.
-
theres a definate slant towards the TA . is there any paticular reason for this ?
-
Because its a F*CKING TA!
I suppose part of it is in the branding back then thats had a profound effect & the fact they just look cool!! :D

They are dead nice, Rideable, unlike the gen 1, and early, unlike the GT.
Opinion, schminion!!!

Do you think so Mark ??? :)
Gen1 unrideable,,,, and a T/A is :-\
The rake on T/A forks is so slanted/relaxed the steering is pooo :LolLolLolLol:
They are both old school and both feel equally a little awkward in the modern day :-\
:D
They both look awesome the Torker made twin tube loveliness against the first Totally aerodynamic frame :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
Just get both
