HiI kind of agree with you on Maxycross cranks. Never really liked them and they are pretty ugly.Quote from: ukoldschool on July 13, 2011, 11:15 AMDP freestylers Absolute cack then, cack now in my eyes.You serious??!! Forgetting about any preconceptions you have or childhood snobberies; if you had never heard of Haro/GT/DP/etc before, and you stuck their classic freestyler designs side by side, I think most people would say the DP is visually the most striking. Haro's always look just slightly "not right"; they are too high and the angle where the double top tubes bend to go down to the drop-out, that angel is just slightly mis-placed for it to be visually pleasing. The geometry of a DP is faultless and looks gorgeous.Clearly beauty is in the eye of the beholder and Im probably bias as I have 2 DPs.Btw, I have nothing against Haros and would love one (they were my childhood dream bike) but all these years later when I can take a subjective step back and reconsider, I just come to the conclusion that once you take out of the equation the big name sponsorship/company founder, I realises that there are far more attractive freestylers out there than Haro freestylers.Cool thread.. I expect its going to go on for a while Paul
Build what you want, how you like it, after all its your bike
