i think they look pretty cool, especially raw like that :smitten: they also look pretty long, so could be nice to ride.
I don't see the big deal in companies bringing back LTD runs of old style frames and stuff. I'd love Skyway to do a modern 21" TT Street Beat :smitten:
-
It's canti mounts that ruin modern versions. ::)
-
you mean AD Lugs Dan? no, if Skyway did a new Street Beat i would want it to have 990 mounts rather than silly caliper brakes :daumenhoch:
horses for courses i guess, one mans Haro is another mans POS :daumenhoch:
-
If everyone's doing it who wants to be the one left behind ? I think pretty much all the big players have had a go now at re producing retro frames. Juan, Geff and Martin have done a great job with CW.
-
Each to their I guess guys. I personally don't feel what they are doing is a good thing but hey, if you can build an old school replicate frame set and take money from 40 year old odd men for it, why not eh :daumenhoch:
I just collect and build old school bmx to ride and relive the memories it brings from a youth far behind. Re-producing these frames, using different metals, geometry etc etc is just a way of making cash by aiming it at the people living with nostalgia.
Just my opinion really, that counts for nothing on here :daumenhoch:

what is it?? I dont have a facebook account.

Do you know if they are the original geometry Terry? I think we will see a few rebirths in the next year or two :chin:

And here :yahoo_silent:
My feet are firmly in the camp that says it's fine if done right. I have a couple of Knight Geese that allow me to ride half-decent due to new school geometry but feel nostalgic due to old scool looks. I also don't mind the exact copies so they are all old school still, just newly made (Dom's Haro project / Nick with Brian Curtis etc) :coolsmiley:
Just don't try and half & half though - if you're going to update a classic, go all out and correct the geometry, don't just give it an 1-1/8" headset and AD lugs :2gunsfiring_v1:
