New school, early 00's weren't they?
Definitely mid - frame designed in 2001 and ran for a few years with the same geometry/build, similar to race frames you could get back in '97. No integrated HS etc.Euro BB - it's a race frame, if it was on a street/park bike then it would start to smack of New School (although there's frames in that category from the same year such as the T1's).
No - it's a race frame. Different kettle of fish as said above.
I always thought mid school ran from 1988 to 2000 and new from 2001 onwards

You do know the Neal Wood was a race frame right?So I ask again, What is the difference between a Neal Wood with integrated Head tube, euro BB, and V brakes, and a Speedwagon with Integrated head tube, euro BB, and V brakes?

Bloody hell guys I don't want world war 3 on thisAll I want to do is show a bike at MK next year and which category would it fit inMid School (going by the dates on forum) orNew School retro
Yep - had a little bet someone would turn it into the mid debate again. We voted, the majority went for the dates we've got. This thread isn't for a debate on dates, it's if Gish's frame is Mid - which it is being from 2003. I just find it a bit disappointing that the minority of people who didn't agree with the dates to start with use threads like this to turn it into the same old date debates. Instead of doing that, post more in the Mid section and make it a bit more lively.@Marty - have a read here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,171969.0.html40 to 23 in favour of the dates we've got, as through the thread it was decided that the majority wanted either the dates we have or decades and fook off the 'school' idea in it's entirety.The no in me last post was referring to the fact that the Neal Wood's a race frame, I was trying to point out it's easier to define a street/park bike than a race due to the fairly easy-ish to spot adoption of new school tech.
Not intending to start a debate but if only 63 members of a total 2495 membership voted it's hardly a majority vote at all. Sorry but calling a 2003 race frame Mid School is like calling the Haro Freestyler 30th Anniversay Frame old school, it may look like it but it ain't it. My GT24 is a race bike and a 2004 model, with an integrated headset - mid school? Hardly!
