Since there seems to be quite a few people on here who think that all N.S. bikes are black, I took a couple of photos at the skatepark last night. These are only 2 of the many bikes that were multi coloured. Its just that these were the only 2 kids who I felt OK about asking to take a photo.
Everyone else looked too tuff! :knuppel2:
Feel free to add to this thread to help people see that modern bikes can look just as colourfull (silly?) as 80s bikes.

I meant a toy:
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/c173/subversionBMX/tricycle_baby_tricycle_baby_trike_c.jpg)
toy:
1. an object, often a small representation of something familiar, as an animal or person, for children or others to play with; plaything.
2. a thing or matter of little or no value or importance; a trifle.
3. something that serves for or as if for diversion, rather than for serious practical use.
4. a small article of little value but prized as a souvenir or for some other special reason; trinket; knickknack; bauble.
5. something diminutive, esp. in comparison with like objects.
6. an animal of a breed or variety noted for smallness of size: The winning terrier at the dog show was a toy.
7. a close-fitting cap of linen or wool, with flaps coming down to the shoulders, formerly worn by women in Scotland.
8. a simple, light piece of music, esp. of 16th or 17th century England, written for the virginal.
My bike is for me to go & ride, on ramps, with my mates as a form of exercise, expression & enjoyment. I don't consider it a 'toy' :daumenhoch:

I'll agree there's some nice NS rides out there...but its not just about colour is it (ducks flying bricks) the design is just as important as to how a bike looks as the finish is.
Doesn't matter how drop dead gorgeous a bike is, not everyone will like it. Everyone customises their ride accord to their tastes and economic situation because as good to ride as NS bikes are, its not just about how it rides, but its 'character'. OS bikes had character in spades (OK they weren't the strongest things on the planet, we know) and for a while it seemed like NS had drowned in black and too many bikes that really arguably looked so similar as to have no real separate identities.
I am for one glad to see that there is colour and real 'choice' in NS rides and parts now, it means that even the most die-hard OS fans can now build something that can give them the buzz of their first bike.
I don't know about you, but I think that's important, in some ways even more than the ride.
