Quadangle frame & forks.


I have got to admit I thought quads were fookin ugly back in the day. My mate had one it was horrid.
And I also hated all cruisers. To me they just seemed to look odd.

However now after some time away I quite like the quad design. And I also quite like cruisers. I have ridden a couple of 24" quads and they felt really good. And looked lush. I will have to get one one day!    :smitten: :smitten::LolLolLolLol:

Shocked by the YES dis - I had one of their fullface helmets that was light and strong, and my brother had one of their cromo frames, light and strong also.

If I did a list it would take up most of RAD's server space so I won't bother. Time to go riding in the muddy woods with my boys  >:D

I never knew I had so much hate inside me :2funny:
whats wrong with YES :'(
and what are skyway 3's?

tuff 3's were officially called OE wheels (official equipment) but referred to by some uk magazines and me and me mates as tuff 3s bitd...I had to do some hunting myself ..basically 6 spoke skyway mags around from 85/6 onwards...like simplex I guess... imo they just looked wrong
as for the 'Yes' diss...apologies all round.... I'm sure they made good stuff but they were just a make I never liked bitd..never liked their bikes/parts/adverts at the time..just never thought they were cool that's all.
Anyways have decided my hatin' days are over on RAD have decided to try to only pass on positive vibes from now on :angel:
All the stuff I hated bitd came from when I started getting into bmx and the fact certain things became "old" and "out of date" because of the nature of the sport( always innovating) and the fact we were fickle kids.
There really ain't much to hate in Old school bmx :smitten: In fact now the older and wierder the part the more fun and exciting it is to see  :daumenhoch:
