One of the cool things about Mid school is that most parts arent silly prices. I got another set of S&M "DX" pedals this week. This whole lot cost about half what one pair of Shimano DXs would, let alone Hutch! (although Im not one to worry about condition).

looking nice :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

oi u :)

The more I see this mid school stuff the more I like it. That yellow S&M Challenger has really got me thinking of building a good mid school bike next.
-
look at those beauties! :4_17_5:
can i have the yellow ones for my challenger please?!!
£250 for a pair of shimano dx's is just obscene :idiot2:
silly prices like this are whats actually ruining the "old-school-bmx scene", they make it completely inaccessable to regular folk and it starts to become an "elitist wankfest"

The yellow ones are totally brand new, un-used. I got them ages ago and didnt like the colour. You can have them for £250! :LolLolLolLol:
Just joking. I want to keep them cos I want to build a classic Yellow Holmes. I know the pedals were out a bit later than most of the bikes I want to build, but who cares, they are perfect pedals to use on any S&M!

Mid-school? Poor man's? Cheap? Tell my wallet that!
;D
NOS stuff is harder to find than Old School at the moment as it hasn't all been discovered in the backs of shops yet - and also not as much was made as BMX had lost it's universal popularity of the 80's.
In my experience putting together a mid-school is much much harder than an old school, and because of the rarity of NOS parts, not cheap either.

mid school bikes rule
they were the best days

NOS? NOS? I never said anything about NOS!
Mid is, and was all about the riding!!!
Oh you condor boys! :2funny:

Doh. I forgot about that riding thing. I just look at them, wipe them with a soft cloth and tuck them up in bed - is that not what Mat intended?

..........but the surface to be painted must be well polished first. i painted a chrome headset with red glass paint and it looks sweet. i did the same with a set of polished DX cranks and it showed every blemish in the casting.
where did you get your DX pedal caps?
