Sorry but pointless thread $:-\$

it is not, its informative and a valuable good point of reference

and funny

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

I didnt know it was taken from the museum...

It wasn't 'lifted' from the Museum and there are plenty of members on here who don't even use the Museum. I thought it would be an interesting thread with lots of good views and points. Better than looking at Ebay links and chatting about bumming. Oh well

Now, where is that Aeroyal and those Acorn mags?? I need to bang together my Exhibitionist

Oh, and put on those Redline full wraps

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... $:-\$

That Andy Patterson geezer hasn't got a fecking clue has he, Gt layback on a race bike, those horrible cw things and ratty's on his flight cranks.
He knew how to build a bike that would make a few of us cringe today.

Well my haro must fook a load of people off

It has twin pinchers, whitewalls, new skyways & left lever controls back brake (as it should)

At least it doesn't have an Elina (any more)

And my silver fox has a front brake and repop comp 3s

Couldn't give a monkeys whether anyone else likes em or not, they're mine to ride

If i think about it i have one or two parts i don't like the look of but in order for me to think "why the fcuk did you put THAT on there?? It would have to be something i knew for sure definitely never happened and wasn't right.
If a guy has done his research when putting a bike together then even the 'ugly what the fcuk' parts are alright to me.

This thread and the other one though have got me thinking of ideas for my next build.
Picture it.

CW bars too far forward.
Elina UL painted snake post with a GT sticker on it.
SR stem
Sharkbite pedals
Oakley 3 cobra grips
7X on bullseys with Red nipples and comp3 re-issues
Two brakes with the rear on the wrong side
Redline twin pinch flites powdered with ratty's
coloured chain
bullet caps
And the pièce de ré·sis·tance a mk1 burner frame.

Alloy cranks on a pro bike,82 to 85ish

Anyone whos ridden a bike with o/s ally cranks will know how shite they are.some are only 170,s too....

dx cranks maybe ok,not sure about them $:-\$ ,better off with an opc

Massive bars and laybacks on an expert bike

Massive seats,full size grips,other burly parts on a mini,mini bmx,s are meant to be as light as possible

Yellow parts teamed with gold parts

,like mixing black and blue with yer clothes

(ok with jeans

)

Small chainrings on a 20"race bike,39/16=nowhere fast

Sometimes an explanation as to why certain parts are on the bike or why something is set up in a certain way is needed

You need not worry my little tyke. there is NO WAY your handlebars are pushed too far forward

Hmoon27 · « **Reply #69 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:19 PM »

On the diplomatic tip.... Each to there own! Most people don't have the cash to spend on era correct parts , or don't see the point ! If you like it, ride it and don't just drool over it collecting dust then use what is good for you.

On an undiplomatic tip.... Cw bars , without a doubt the ugliest bars around, ugly bitd, ugly now ! Just my opinion of course

Right I'm off to the garage to check my twin pinchers & ul are still fitted
