hi folks, thinking of getting one of these in lime green, like the picture below.
can you mid school experts answer me some questions:
1. would I be right in calling this "mid school"
2. Also any idea how much i should pay for a NOS frame and forks, I really like it but have no idea what it should cost.
3.Thinking of kitting it out with kneesavers 2's, 48's (can you get 48's? still? NOS?) ody cranks, headset, gyro, bb, ACS boa brakes and ACs levers
oddy layback, ruption chain wheel if i can get one, haro seat and what ever grips and tyres I can find. This is the stuff I want on it, but is there anything in that list that is just plain wrong?
any help appreciated.
kind regards Joe

bashguard sports arent quite mid school they were made in 90 to 92 i think so sort of old/mid school
frame and forks id pay around £200-£250
depending on how much you want to spend id personally have a fusion chainring, haro crank, super pros, comp pool/haro tyres,mushroom grips, beartrap headset, shimano dx pedals

Nice bike, though not as tough as they should've been, and hence pretty rare.
Kneesaver 2s will be a bit late for an early nineties bike, if you want to be era-correct go for regular kneesavers. A DK-style Fusion stem would also be a good fit, and not too expensive for a NOS one right now

Just Mid school (!) and go with the suggestions above, they sound about right.

Shiners were knocking those frame sets out for £145ish last year, they may still have some left over.
They are a good frame set, my old one was great :daumenhoch:
-
cheers for the advice guys.
standard kneesavers and haro tyre it is. :daumenhoch:
and I'll be looking out for a dk style fusion stem.

Just did a bit of research for you.
As far as I can make out, bashguard Sports came out late 1990/early '91....
This is from the May '91 Bmx Plus buyers guide...

Hope this helps - if I come across anything else I'll post it up here.

Hoffman was killing at least one of those frames a day when filming Head First, which was out in 90/91.
ask SEbmxer, he might be able to help you get one.

Ruption chainwheel, i wouldn't bother with that, you could try to find a Fusion Chainwheel.

Not quite a Fusion but way better than a Ruption one!

Make sure you dont use a Left hand Drive rear wheel! That would mess everything up ;D

see the pic in the other thread dude, it bloody came with pegs. I can't believe it. lol.
are your fusion pegs nos? pics, I'll probably take em.
-
no they're not NOS but they've only got grime on them, nothing bad.......they're the ones that screw on your axles instead of wheel nuts

ah not for this bike then, takes screw IN pegs to special mounts.
-
no worries then, i'm guessing that those pegs that came with it are pretty rare??

not sure, but they are metal screw in with a plastic outer shell. very nice.

interesting to read this now .....
i wonder if the guy found his lime 90 sport.
Of course today we know how rare there are as only 100 were made in lime and 100 in black and were not even in the catalouge. They were produced as testers .
I guess info back then was not around as it was today .
-
This an old thread
Just been looking at the 91 catalogue and there is a pic of a black sport in there, its a small pic but the colour isn't shown in the spec list
Had a friend who was sponsored by Shiners/Pete Hawkins in 91/92 and he had a lime green sport
-
The 90 wasn't in the caralog Kev as it was only out for 6 months, and I'm not even sure they where fs over here, I've had a couple of them,
Defo a cool frame, there's a few differences between the 90 and 91
-
a 1990 sport is rare rare rare ...
only 200 made and they were not in the catalouge.
About 10 are known to exist and came in lime green (different and more yellow than the 91) and black and came with master style decals .
I have two (one on the way) i believe these are the only two in the UK !
The 91 is a different frame ....
The 89 master 90 sport and the 91 airmaster are at the top of the list ..
then the 91 and 92 sport and even a 1990 master ...
everything else was after Bob had left , tri-moly and rubbish ! ;-)
-
Nowt wrong with a 93/94/95 Bashy Sport ... they look tidy wearing 91 decals fistblump

To be fair all late 80's onwards freestyle Haro's were a load of crap, as all ready said hoffman killed one a day, i saw plenty of 88,89,90,91,92,93 & 94 sports, masters and their all bash guard variants get broke
They were just not built for the riding at the time
I remember one 1990 bash guard master that had the bash guard area re welded on every single weld at least twice
But saying all that they are still nice bikes just no good for the riding style at the time

I'm sure Mat Hoffmam would agree Kev ... they did him enough harm!

I still think the ramps of the time are most of the reason why frames broke, ramps these days like jump boxes etc the landings are more transitioned so a lot smoother, I remember the big box they used to get out for koc the landing was near flat! No wonder people tore head tubes of there bikes!
