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

Didn't you do that to your yellow team master?  

Er...No Mr FC. I totally stripped the Master and re-done it. As you never saw it before the re-do, you wouldn't know just how bad it was cosmetically and how the rust was present. Then I put 'custom' decals on it

Front brake on a race build

Yes like putting pre 80 Shimano 600 cranks on a 1984 Direct Link september BOTM comp
 Why when by that era all race BMX had BMX specific cranks usually cro mo not roadie bike cranks  
  Bikes around  1980  are ok  with them though because bmx only 3  piece wern't available  


 

Is there anything wrong in putting on items that were already on the market at the time?? Better than putting half wraps on them I guess, or full wraps that everybody seems to put on their builds. The whole idea of putting those on was to get both bikes looking nearly the same with the same parts. Oh, and being bored sh!tless at looking Redline Flights on absolutely everything

Front brake on a race build 

In the early days a few pros had them...

Snake posts and I'm sorry ( I know some riders used them ) rat trap pedals .. Especially with flight cranks  

[Badbaldie]

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!

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

you could fit on one thow Jaymz. dont you normaly ride a budgie

Expert sized frames (as used by 10-13 year olds) with massive pro bars, laybacks etc, just not authentic.

What TT length would you class as expert?

[OrgasmDonor]

Sorry but pointless thread  

not having a dig, these post are not important but they do get a lot of peeps talking about bmx, n thats the main point of rad me thinks. i dont build now and have no interest in collecting just riding what i've got n these threads have made me think about bikes n thats a good thing surely, even tho some, myself included, may lower the tone  

[dan-dare]

'bullet' dust caps....

[kungfunky]

Hate to see later parts on earlier frames. Bitd you couldn't have put 83 parts on your 80 frame so why do it now just because the parts are there. Wrong wrong wrong wrong

GT stickered seat post not on a GT !! 

now thats silly!

some seat posts are GT posts...   

it would be like saying you dont like GT stamped bars on a ripper...

I mean when there is a 'pro' model available, to then have the 'expert' set up with massive parts isn't right.
Actually I don't HATE owt really, just a slight preference to see things as I remember them

Cant say that it is imformative. Ok so i know someone hates skyway frame standers, they may as well tell me what colour underpants they have on.
An "i love this part" thread would be marginally better and yes its great to be chatting about bmx but this thread was lifted from the museum so you can fill your boots with peoples pet peeves on there.

I know i sound like a grumpy barstool and this is no dig at you Orgasmdonor but i just thinking other perfectly good threads were culled to make room for this misery

Thats a good point Jon...surely its about preference not hate...!
