New, midschool guy

[MikeM]

hey everyone, new guy here, just wanted to introduce myself. Name is mike and like most of you im sure, im a midschool guy.

have quite a few complete bikes, only one project as of right now. I had this bike complete at one point but just didn't like the way it came out, so tore it down and am planning a rebuild. looking for suggestions on how to build it



well looking forward to meeting you all and having fun here.

I'll leave the suggestions to the mid school experts but nice frameset all the same.

Hiya mike. Great frameset there, plenty of midschool points for that. Quite a few dirtbikes, challengers and Holmes on here but few maddogs. I would hunt out a few old pics of the p.o.w's and do something along those lines with your build. Radmember "thecaptain" did a good maddog a while back, there should be a pic of it on the forum somewhere. Im a Holmes fan myself, im tall and gangly so i prefer roomy frames. Id like a go on a maddog though, just to check one out.
Keep us posted with your build.

Sweet - longer than my one = actually rideable 

That brings the total MD's now in the UK to about five I reckon

Lush welcome aboard

[MikeM]

picked up a set of nos bars  for the build

[MikeM]

anyone have any suggestions for wheels?

[Dannywhac]

There's the standard Peregrine sealed SP wheels, but they're (although nice) common on builds. As it's an MD, maybe something in 36 (era correct-ish) - TNT's, DK's, high flange GT's, Superlaces etc..... I've got Revcore's for my '88 MD.

Have a look online at the bmx mag scans around 1990 - there's plenty of w@nking material in them 

Or go black Skyway on the front, rear 36/48
