Title: Do you ride old or new school bikes?
Post by: Trev on August 13, 2006, 11:42 PM

Being fairly new to this site and having not met many people from here (I will turn up at Rom on a Sunday soon), I was just wondering whether you guys ride new school bikes or whether you ride the likes of Haro Masters, Street Beats, Performers, Trickstars etc. I know I see lots of old school builds on here, which are very cool, but wondering whether or not you ride them.

i have a supergoose 3 that ride real nice
but it is built with a lot of mid/new school parts

the old school bikes are fine, so long they are set up right.
some are better than others though

a friend of mine rides an 85 fst, and that rides great. another mate of mine rides an 84 cali, and its real nice to ride too.

its all in the set up. if you run your oldschool freestyle bike with tuffs, stem jacked up high, bars forward and a snakepost then it is gonna ride like shit. same as if you did that to a newschool bike.

its also cheaper to build a good oldschool bike.

ive got a new school S&M stricker, and I love that bike.  I can't believe how flexy my old school sport is, and how heavy my mis school is.  New school all the way.. I'm not much of a good rider, I need all the tecnical help I can get. ;)
