hey everyone, new guy here, just wanted to introduce myself. Name is mike and like most of you im sure, im a midschool guy.
have quite a few complete bikes, only one project as of right now. I had this bike complete at one point but just didn't like the way it came out, so tore it down and am planning a rebuild. looking for suggestions on how to build it :)

I'll leave the suggestions to the mid school experts but nice frameset all the same. :daumenhoch:

Hiya mike. Great frameset there, plenty of midschool points for that. Quite a few dirtbikes, challengers and Holmes on here but few maddogs. I would hunt out a few old pics of the p.o.w's and do something along those lines with your build. Radmember "thecaptain" did a good maddog a while back, there should be a pic of it on the forum somewhere. Im a Holmes fan myself, im tall and gangly so i prefer roomy frames. Id like a go on a maddog though, just to check one out.
Keep us posted with your build.

anyone have any suggestions for wheels? :)
-
There's the standard Peregrine sealed SP wheels, but they're (although nice) common on builds. As it's an MD, maybe something in 36 (era correct-ish) - TNT's, DK's, high flange GT's, Superlaces etc..... I've got Revcore's for my '88 MD.
Have a look online at the bmx mag scans around 1990 - there's plenty of w@nking material in them :daumenhoch:
Or go black Skyway on the front, rear 36/48 :LolLolLolLol:
