i need your opinions for the most iconic bmx frmaes of the 90's

not talking about lists of every frame made, just the most important ones......

could you post up top 5 please?

cheers....

Betty · « **Reply #1 on:** March 24, 2011, 09:02 PM »

1: S&M Dirtbike
2: Standard Trailboss
3: T1 Barcode
4: Hoffman Condor
5: S&M Holmes

Couldn't think of a fifth off top of my head so put Holmes but no1 should read Dirtbike/Holmes

Opinions will no doubt vary, they're my top five.... maybe subject to change...

Dannywhac · « **Reply #2 on:** March 24, 2011, 09:12 PM »

Good list

I'd go:

1. S&M Dirtbike
2. Hoffman TAJ
3. Standard STA
4. Hoffman Condor
5. GT Performer (as nearly every other bmx I saw in the 90's was a Performer).

Although I'll probably edit this when I've thought some more.....

Hi Joe, haven't seen you post for a while

sorry I know nothing about 90s bmx as I had deserted kid's bikes in favour of other activities
does seem like the dirtpipe is a clear favourite already though, what are they like to ride?

Dirty

Built for trails but transferred to street really well - I'm a lanky sod, and the geometry was still good - quite a few frames 'borrowed' from the geometry of the Dirtbike - DK General's being one of them (and another late 90's classic).

1: Standard STA
2: S&M Dirtbike

From Ride magazines icon page....

s&m dirt bike, STA, Lenghty/shorty.

I think Dirt bike would be the most iconic as - they were everywhere, mostly I think due to being fairly cheap and s&m haing a great kind of underground rep/image.

hoffmans condor frame was iconic too.

Dingo
Alloy Quad
Challenger
