Okay guys, is there a certain part that ruins it for you when you see it on somebody's build

It could be an all out expensive build or a cheap build, but that certain part just niggles at you making you want to shout at your screen and say "why the fcuk did you put THAT on there??

For me, foremost is coloured nipples

i.e Mint Chrome Araya's, Red and Chrome Bullseyes and fookin' RED nipples

followed by 'race' tyres on a freestyler, braced laybacks and powdercoated cranks of any kind.

Oh, and original worn decals ripped off and replaced with re-pops

Skyway freestyle platforms, almost bearable on a TA but I've seen many on burners and just don't get it

You can find quite a few early pics of haro and Dominguez riding comp3's at skate parks, also the skyway team, so does it depend on the build with your race tyre dislike terry?

I think you might like my next build too, it's going to be sporting some lovely white 401's

I may get slated here , but i cant stand it when people put new twin pinch flights on old bikes just looks so wrong to me!!

This whole thing makes me cringe.. But that's about it.

AKGOFF · « **Reply #7 on:** November 10, 2012, 08:08 AM »

It does my head in when threads, Signatures and Avatars get copied and pasted from the Museum.

Parts wise, I don't really mind too much, if it's not my cup of tea I don't put it on my bike.
I don't like Pooch on a bike though, does that count as a part?

i think coloured nips are a nice finishing touch, i also have freestyle tyres on what would normally be considered a race bike, reasoning is i like the look of them and we all did freestyle on our race bikes BITD....

i also lke 2 legged fat cats...

hunterdubber · « **Reply #9 on:** November 10, 2012, 08:40 AM »

That cat's got 3 legs Sam not 2

I had a pivotal seat that made me cringe for over 2 weeks once.

It's not a part that bugs me it's a set up.

Handle bars pushed forward, far forward. And WHY is it all Burners seem to have this done to them?

IT LOOKS STUPID!

ED209 · « **Reply #15 on:** November 10, 2012, 09:43 AM »

nothing wrong with snake posts if you rode one BITD or it is was stock on the bike

kungfunky · « **Reply #16 on:** November 10, 2012, 09:50 AM »

Coloured chains, never liked them bitd and still don't like them now.

It's because burners are so epically short. It's the only way a grown man can ride one

With a snake post no doubt too

Race builds with no pads. They need them to complete the look.

Devilock · « **Reply #20 on:** November 10, 2012, 10:34 AM »

So we now have 2 threads of "I hate this & I hate that"...?!

dont like when people build totally stock original parts builds n polish the fook outa stem, seat clamps n the like, it loses the point completely IMO. i do not mind polished stuff on any build thats not being passed off as original. hate big lay backs on mid school race bikes, they seem to spoil the sleekness of them. and i'm always disappointed when i see a build with a loopy pk ripper, skyway or early haro f/f thats been built to look like every other pk ripper, skyway n haro. its been before by loads, loads of times and loads better. Some builds are just too clinical, theres plenty of passion out there but wheres the soul of bmx building gone? ye c*nts!
