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?

$:-\$

gruffbmx · « **Reply #33 on:** July 21, 2005, 11:07 PM »

ok here we go
best: all the oldschool frame designs. so much variety!!

motomagII · « **Reply #34 on:** July 22, 2005, 06:19 AM »

my favourite has to be se racing everything great bikes parts totally .quadangle amazing frame in its year .if i put it down to best part must be giro it brough bikes and riding forward by years .
worst is cheap crappy parts and threaded headsets always come loose .also stemmed from this headset locks they didnt seem to work for me

jon016847 · « **Reply #35 on:** July 22, 2005, 04:23 PM »

Too many of each to mention but here is an example of each

BEST - Hutch titanium mini spokes, I would kill for some for my minibuilds

WORST - Stunt Pegs

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: nos suede seat's

worst: soft padded number plates

2020mad · « **Reply #38 on:** July 22, 2005, 05:03 PM »

Fave: mushroom grips

billstup · « **Reply #39 on:** July 22, 2005, 08:13 PM »

Fave: Redline Flights 401`s

darren · « **Reply #40 on:** July 22, 2005, 09:52 PM »

good call on the sharp grips and bike snobs, like it!

retrogeezer · « **Reply #43 on:** July 23, 2005, 08:09 PM »

Fave - Curtis Pro frames - the biz for just £99!!

Worst - the really cr@p bikes like Kalkhoff etc that just looked like a BMX ( oh and pro-gards!)

fischflo · « **Reply #44 on:** July 23, 2005, 10:15 PM »

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.

spex · « **Reply #45 on:** July 23, 2005, 10:28 PM »

favourite - jive handles + 14mm axles

worst - loose grips + bent 10mm axles

BuffaloUK · « **Reply #46 on:** July 25, 2005, 11:45 AM »

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

pickle · « **Reply #47 on:** July 25, 2005, 01:35 PM »

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)
