indeed, 27lbs for a £400 complete is good in my opinion. but i know f*** all my bike weighs a ton....or tonne....when I'm on it. lol. lol.

Post by: darkersomeday on January 23, 2009, 11:55 AM: still with the "all new school bikes are boring and black"

whats wrong with you fooking idiots?

there was a brief spell back in the mid school era when black/dark bikes were popular, but that was like 10 fooking years ago :LolLolLolLol:

do any of you actually bother to read bmx magazines these days?

because all i've seen for the last 3 years are multi coloured bikes :LolLolLolLol:

i swear to god, if i hear that fooking lame old "old school bikes were more colourful and new school bikes are boring" argument one more time i'll scream,
Title: Re: I'm not really into new school at all.... but i quite like this..... i think ?
Post by: JT71 on January 23, 2009, 12:02 PM: what he said!

and the chap before him.

mines all black. well it has blue grips and some glow in the dark pedals.

:LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

but like i said in the good/bad thread one of the main arguments from old schoolers is "new school bikes all look the same" or "new school bikes have no character" which is complete bollox if you go to a skate park and look at the bikes, I've never seen two new bikes the same but I've seen tons of TAs with red/blue components, not in skate parks i might add. lol.

and matt black fokking rocks anyway.

Right on Joe. I was going to say the same (well, similar) thing. My bike is black cos I think it looks good.
Most NS bikes are just as god awful as the bikes in the 80s; pastle greens and pinks. Im surprised more Old School guys dont like them :crazy2:

Post by: darkersomeday on January 23, 2009, 12:12 PM: i just want a fooking cigarette.

tbch, i'm 36 years old and not completely unaware of the fact that i am starting to look a bit daft riding a "20 bike, lets be honest we all know we do dont we?

not to ourselves maybe, but to others of our age that dont understand "the love" we probably appear a little on the strange side,

i know this to be true as i've lost count of the amount of times some witty barstard passer by has told me to

"get a bigger/adult bike"

so actually THE very last thing i want is a brightly coloured whip that looks MORE like a kiddies toy!!!!!!

no,

black is good,
black is understated and workmanlike,
it says "i couldnt give two fooks what colour my bike is, its does the job and i'm NOT laurence llwelyn fooking bowen worrying about pretty colours,
i'm a man and this is a mans bike"

better still, no colour at all.

Post by: meticulous on January 23, 2009, 06:24 PM: sorry!!! but its my opinion, they all look the same to me, bland and boring, no character, i know they ride better, better built and all that, and i am too fat and shite to appreciate that, but to me they just dont look right, all in takes is a bit of contrasting anodise and a proper seat post like 'torker the midlands' bike and voila!!! sorted looks cool... i dont want to make a big deal over this and certainly not offend anybody.....

Post by: Broggie on January 23, 2009, 07:59 PM: Each to their own really, some like the subtle/street/rat look and some like to be flamboyant. I can understand that NS bikes ride better, but when I do finally get a ns bike it will not only be a custom, but very probably custom paint as well...that would just be my choice and what I would want.
