Title: Mid-school Mysteries
Post by: Mikku on August 03, 2017, 01:59 AM: When I say mysteries, I mean I have little or no knowledge of mid-school as, like many others I suspect, I was more into cars in the Nineties. However, the more I now look at mid-school bikes the more I like what i see, and there was certainly some interesting ideas and designs flying about then. Here are a few I've recently found in some mid-90s BMX PLUS mags. First up is a "Hi Rola" and then a rear-suspension Mongoose from 1995:-

Post by: monkian on August 03, 2017, 10:28 AM: Some crazy stuff right there. I hate to think of the weight of these things lol :/ Always had a soft spot for that Auburn x2 piece design though. Were there any Aluminium 90's race frames?

Post by: Drawn on August 03, 2017, 11:41 AM: There was certainly some 90s Alu frames.

Hawk is a good example.

Have you seen the Herrington Crusader with drive at both wheels?

Post by: Mikku on September 02, 2017, 03:35 AM: Fabweld was also responsible for the aptly-named for this thread Secret Cycles NC-17, which I've just stumbled on in another mag. Am also loving the Iron Horse for the boldness of both the design and the name! :daumenhoch:
