Carl , Like I said t'other night to you mate ,Diggler will look after you

Seriously though ,what he doesn't know about what's hot and what's not ain't worth knowing

Why do you think Ade won Best new school ride of the year on here

.If you want the best looking bike , you'll build it

It can be just as rewarding as building a NOS parted oldie .

target go for a sub 21lb bike

get a fookin room you pair of fags

Garage was fine Gaz , if a little cold

You should pop down to one of our Monday night meets , but you will have to go through the initiation ceremony and it doesn't involve dropping in on a 10ft vert ramp

Go halfway and get one of the Midskool gems that are kicking around from time to time, my black dirtbike feels as nice as any modern frame/bike I have had and its way cooler, for the stuff I do its perfect and it didnt cost more than £300 and it aint that heavy at 28lb. I built a 21lb deluxe laced with top trinkets earlier this year, it was an amazing bike to look at but my dirtbike feels nicer $:-\$ and its a 1/4 of the cost

Get some photos up to give us some ideas

I remember seeing a rad looking redline someone posted a photo off once

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #31 on:** December 12, 2010, 04:23 PM »

Stands me at Â£300

Bit more but Betty is selling a frame and forks cheap

I sold this early on this year, complete as you see it ......for Â£300

Mid bargains are still around, look on ebay for completes and pimp where appropriate

All the new school BMX's I've seen around my hometown (Blackpool) seem to have a seat pointing in the air and the post lowered right down, handle bars that are too small, no front brake and they all seem to be black! They all look heavy as well.

I do like watching Daniel Dhers, Jamie Bestwick & Ryan Guettler riding though

Bettyswallocks · « **Reply #34 on:** December 12, 2010, 09:07 PM »

Dude ^^^^ they're far from heavy, come along to the next lock in if you're in Blackpool and have a try out...

Carl found a frame you might like, perfect for an LFC nut

Fit Ben Lewis signature frame....

Ahhh , you know where I'm coming from though ,,shagger ,don't ya ?

Hell ,any half decent custom bike set up, you could piece up is more than good enough for our talents once you 've decided the frame size that suits you best.
so ideally seeing as these guys like many of us are collectors and like if a build looks cool or pretty aswell, so that adds to the interest

Plus you know when you go to a park somebody(tight jean-ed) is always eyeing up your bike, weighing up kudos points

You're as bad Pete , for having the latest bits on yours , pimpin'

hunterdubber · « **Reply #42 on:** December 13, 2010, 10:59 PM »

If you want a new school size and geometry ride, but with all the old school whistles and bells

it's gotta be one o' these though

I've been looking at those since they came out Christian - any one seen any reports on how they ride then - compared to an out and out well respected new-schooler ?

Would look ace done with new school bits but with a retro flavour

Can't find that black Goose cruiser someone made , I saw recently $:-\$ ,,that was awesome

http://www.knightbikeco.com/products-VintageFramesProformer.htm

As you said John , It'd be good to actually get an un-biased review from a rider/tester , to see how they perform

You're not gonna beat a new school bike , for riding , but these are still a cool intresting option
