Yep - I'm a mid-school collector too...it's harder than old school to source info and parts...

Look out for magazines on ebay - thats your best bet for info.

And for parts, ring round the shops, they often have the parts in the back somewhere!

What ya planning on building?

the main trouble with midschool stuff is there wasn't a whole lot of companys making decent bikes as BMX wasn't poular back then! which means only hardcore BMXers were still riding & their stuff got literally ridden into the ground!
BMX was also evolving then & the frames were having to be made stronger & heavier to cope so pretty much all the early midschool stuff got broken & thrown away  :-\
