Best.................Skyway wheels. They might not be the lightest but they still look the dogs after all this time!

Worst...............Any copy parts. What's the point, they just look similar to the real deal but don't work????  :-\

Fave = Have to agree with Gruff, Old school frames, everyone seemed to have it's own identity. Tuff II's. fresh out of the box Mushrooms or Sharp grips. Airials

Worst = All the best old school frames as i was far too poor to afford one (just a Burner  :) ) Airials (I just couldn't bloody master them!) Bike snobs that look down on you just cos you had a Burner and not a DP freestyler as most did around my area  >:(

Fave: Redline Flights 401`s

Worst: Those early quarter pipes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

i like v bars, those high mongoose boxbars and certain old redline bars  and for some reason i like the skinny ashtabula gooseneks. Weird taste shift. a year ago i by far would have preferred slicker rl20II looking stuff and i was stunned about how people could be keen on puttin weird motomagson their bikes. Might be tending to like in the future what I feel uneasy with right now -- that would be some kind of horror-theory. Also love suntour cassette hubbed tuffs.

Favourite: Shimano DX pedals (the best designed pedal ever)

Worst: Raleigh Burner (especially with those copy CW bars, set forward) Yuck yuck, cough, splutter
Ok thats a whole bike, if it has to be just a part then the Burner frame

Agree on the pedals, timeless design and i still use a pair on my mountain bike, but surely not with the Burner! i know the Burner has probably been done to death on here, but it was a tough cheap bike that allowed the not so well off public to get into BMX (that's me if you didn't quite follow)   ;)
