Yeah, I'm with Mr. Ruler - if I like it I'll buy it, not too fussed about the era.

i'm with these guys, its all bmx. theres been some lovely bikes over the years, and geting the chance to own a few is great. i know there lots i'll never be able to afford, but i'm happy for now. wait till in another 20 years when people start collecting our new school bikes

, and we thought there was alot of choice 20 +years ago

although i wasnt there i think mid school bikes have more soul than most other bikes from other era's e.g hoffman condor/taj frames when bmx went into the hands of bmxers instead of corperate companies

i think the early 80's stuff is always gonna be special to 'our' age group, and im pretty sure that most of us had given up riding by 86-87, with the odd exception of course.
so im not sure that mid school will be as special to us as the old school stuff

i think

I think it`s getting that way, I think we`ve seen every old school bike that there was, but there`s a fair few mid school that havn`t been done, yet

i dont think people will collect the new stuff in 20 years.

mid has a lovely chunkiness that i like.

i think i look less like a dancing bear on a teeny tiny bike with mid skool.
