braced laybacks and snake posts, the snake ones just look like some bloater has crumpled it

As said snake posts and aeroyal seats. Just not right.

Pretty much everything from copycat companies that couldn't be bothered to think if something themselves...

Dirt skirts.

Ooh yeah, and front brakes

Tioga Utra Dyno cranks (wobbled after 3 days riding... i think they were made out of old soup cans ...shite!)
Shimano 600's ...flexed like hell .... i think bananas would've made sturdier cranks!
Skyway tuff pedals......looked cool but the cages flexed like fook & used to make snapping noises as they slipped over the plastic nipples next to the cage screws when riding.
Phil Wood pedals.....Ugly as fook & looked like cut up bits of patio door tracking!
Oakley 3's ...ugliest grips ever!
Hare trigger levers .....used to see bits of these scattered on the track from people just sliding out!
Zeronine wildfire plates ...looked crap & way too 50's hot rod style for bmx

Then a lot of people only build bikes for show now so it's more about the look or style of the parts rather than function.

Shit completes for the masses that fetch stupid prices, eg. Et Krapahara, fookin rubbish bike.

BMX related you say.......................how about Scorcher Mick.

But seriously, I'd agree on CW bars, ugly as fook, and I have 3 sets.

Yep. Braced layback posts. Wrong.

MartyC · « **Reply #35 on:** October 27, 2013, 04:54 AM »

Acorn wheels and Saxon/Townsend bikes

griff · « **Reply #36 on:** October 27, 2013, 06:52 AM »

Chequered stuff

Just a personal thing, don't want to knock anyone's build.
Especially Adam as I know he has a thing for those seats.

Simplex mags, acorn mags (the really thin spoked ones), aeroyal seats, elina UL with snake post, snake posts

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #40 on:** October 27, 2013, 09:29 AM »

Snake posts, braced laybacks, yep I agree there.

Aeroyal seats are gopping I agree there too, but they are standard on a lot of Mk2 Burners and (Rob will shoot me here) I like building Burners.

Aeroyals aren't quite as bad as those variants, the yellow and white ones with the V decal in the side.

Fits where it touches

See Dan, I do love a nice burner

Clean · « **Reply #44 on:** October 27, 2013, 10:52 AM »

I have owned almost everything in this list at some point in my BMX career.

For what it's worth, I would put all Cruisers in Room 101; if it don't roll on 20", it ain't BMX in my book.

Redline bikes, fooking hate them. Never liked them bitd either.

Profile cranks, the oldschool ones, cannot stand those either.

MX900/1000 calipers, but only when you have different colour arms, drives me fooking mad that one.

I should have specified your dislike for the Mk2.

You building the GS?

Dave Beard will add cobra grips to room 101 at a guess.

BMX bikes with gears. Who the hell thought of that idea
