Here's another question for you all.
I never rode in the 90s and deserted the sport when it became unfashionable/I got bored/i learnt to drive/my friends gave up/i went to college/other reason [ delete as applicable]. I recently started to build old school bikes, but have discovered that mid school bikes are in fact nicer, better looking and not so expensive to build, so mid school is now my favourite era to build, even though it actually means nothing to me.
What frame/forks/bars/headset/grips/levers/brakes/tyres/wheels/cranks/pedals/chainring/seat/post/clamp/ were poplular in 1990-1999?

:LolLolLolLol:maybe some of us midschoolers who didnt ride in the 80's should start building oldschool bikes and flood the oldschool section with posts about what parts to use :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
-
or we could just have a mid school section that never get's any posts.
has it occurred to anyone that these people know what's about, know what they want, but just want some input off other riders.
let's face it, if shimano still made the original style DX, maybe updated with sealed bearing, there would be no need for any other pedal, but it's still worth a discussion.
but the good thing about midschool, you can use whatever parts you can get your hands on, cos that's what happened in the 90s right?
-
just stuck a modern Kenda tyre on my 95 holmes, rides nice, who cares how it looks, and i got a right hand tech 77 on the left side, but the brake still works.
i love it.
as for the "gave up riding blah blah blah" stuff. if you give up w4nking and come back to it, it's still fokking great and you are still a w4nker, so why should bmx be any different?

as for brakes? i have to admit to not keeping era correct and i've gone down the Oddy Evo II route with matching levers.....then for wheels i'm going for a set of brand new jobbies with Oddy tan walls as i want to ride this :daumenhoch:
i apologise to the era correct police ;D
-

-

:LolLolLolLol:
-
there are some bargin super pros now and again a mint set sold on here for £130 awhile ago and i was gutted i missed them, mine have now cost me over £250 to buy and restore :shocked: :shocked:
-
i started back in the 90s so i had a head start :angel:
-
I was only asking about what parts for what era cos when i started, id just be given (or bought) second hand rubbish, odd pedals, bent bars, most of which was from cheap shitty superstore bikes.
Im building, or attempting to build what id alsway dreamed of when i was younger, hence the mass of topics in the mid section asking what part would be perfect for my build.
-
captain you ask away ..it was light the touch paper and run thing i think..
you ask away ,im sure someone will offer some advice then you pick the bones from it mate.

nowt wrong with that dude, i havnt much clue when it comes to midschool, espesh freestyle bikes, but as harris said n as i have also come to believe is that alot of midschool was mix n match in order to keep the bikes running, i do go for a new school s&m seat but as for the rest, its all ballpark n more importantly, what i think is right n looks the part :daumenhoch:
-
yep, it's a forum, you have a question ask it, that's what it's all about. !
:daumenhoch:
-
rode a bit in the early 90's the first thing you did is rip of all the stock parts and swap em for better parts, YTS wages permitting (get some sneaky over time on saturday) unless the parents stumped up for the team model :daumenhoch: stock parts dont go with pink teddybear vans and blue mambo dog crap shorts ,oakley shades optional of course ;), i dont think there there is such thing as a dumb question, not on an open forum anyway , if ya dont ask you'll never know, and someone is always gona rib ya thats part of the apeal of the site

That bowl looks well scary to ride- is it one of those 50p type transitions?
-
The joins just made it look a little like a 50 pence shape. I'd find airing an 11 foot bowl scary - even if its smooth, I'm pretty crap on 1/2 pipes :-[
