What says "Old School" to you?

For me, nothing says "Old School" like a mag wheel, skin wall and dice dust cap! How about you?

Potential to be a great thread  :daumenhoch:

and love your choice.

I expect there'll be a whole spectrum of answers, mainly depending on individual's ages and exactly when we each got into BMX.

For me it has to be a gusset goose:

I vividly remember the mad colour arrival, it wasn't there in Dec 84's BMX Action Bike, open Jsn 85's issue and bang, there it was.

Ok, I've given this some thought and ignoring riders, complete bikes plus magazines and magazine ads, the 2 parts that sum up my era of old school are DX pedals and CW bars, preferably the big ol' Pro-sized ones. I never had either bitd but man, I wanted both of them! :daumenhoch:

After much soul searching, and comtemplation, I can not shake my initial thoughts. I knew nothing about BMX back then but I wanted one of these and it screams '80's BMX to me:
