Watching the reply to this with interest as I thought it was something along the lines of 1" threaded forks and "U" brake, so no 1.1/8" steerers and no "V" brakes. As there's no formal OS series running these days I think it depends on where you race. At Hersden I qualify as just "old" so they let me run Nu Skool bikes to get the numbers up whilst at BADBMX we're just happy to have some of the old crusties turn up at all!! The riders at Braintree were indeed on OS rides and very good it was to see all those older bikes but at the end of the day it's all about getting some of the older riders out and enjoying themselves.

Flaz hope you can make Hersden next year :4_17_5:
