Title: What says "Old School" to you?
Post by: grey-beard on September 08, 2017, 07:19 PM: For me, nothing says "Old School" like a mag wheel, skin wall and dice dust cap! How about you?

Post by: Picklez on September 08, 2017, 07:59 PM: Potential to be a great thread :daumenhoch:

and love your choice.

I expect there'll be a whole spectrum of answers, mainly depending on individual's ages and exactly when we each got into BMX.

For me it has to be a gusset goose:

I vividly remember the mad colour arrival, it wasn't there in Dec 84's BMX Action Bike, open Jsn 85's issue and bang, there it was.

Post by: Mikku on September 09, 2017, 12:50 PM: Ok, I've given this some thought and ignoring riders, complete bikes plus magazines and magazine ads, the 2 parts that sum up my era of old school are DX pedals and CW bars, preferably the big ol' Pro-sized ones. I never had either bitd but man, I wanted both of them! :daumenhoch:
