You know what i think this place is great cos of all the different parts used on different bike - that's the cool sh!t  :daumenhoch:

and the other thing i like is, that we know not to run our mouths like we are god almighty and make ourselves look like a c0ck  :daumenhoch:

I must say that the cheap builds are definately the 'in thing' these days, I think the oldschool BMX scene in the UK has gone away from the pristine and expensive parts and has landed firmly in the 'build what you had as a kid' instead of the 'build what you always dreamed of'.

I have quite a few bikes, DeCoster, Slingshot, Champion etc etc but my 2 favourites are my Scorpion and my Yamaha.  Both were well cheap to buy and also to rebuild again, but they remind me of a long time ago when the summers always seemed to be hot and sunny and me and my mates used to bomb around the neighbourhood without a care in the world.

when we all went on the "wetting the babies head" London ride - it was bloody great - why cos nobody cared what yer rode or how it was put together and with what - yes there were some nice top bikes, but it was the ride and being a part of a gang for the day - the amount you spent on the bike didn't mean sh!t that day - just good old 80's fashion fun  >:D

Bang on, now I have got my original bike restored as It was when I was a kid ( cost my dad £325 BITD) I love rolling around on it with my mates, my kids and their kids, massive grins all round and I enjoyed doing the DP, still cost a few quid to do though  :daumenhoch:

Pissed myself reading this lot you nutters :2funny:

I personally couldn't give a rat's ass what you lot think of my alloy-cranks and single-pinch 90's cranks and new school tyres and new-school drivetrains, I fookin ride them all properly and enjoy every one of them :daumenhoch:

I fookin hate NOS parts bolted onto a NOS frame that cost a small fortune - a bit of resto yourself here and there, a bit of blast & powder and a bit of imagination and thought and that gets my vote everytime. If you put a cheap part on I don't care as long as you put some soul into it :daumenhoch:

Nuff said :yahoo_silent:
