$3200 - get in the sea FFS

And I thought Mafia were taking the piss trying to cash in with this


OK - they're both taking the piss, but this Dior bollux is next-level
If anyone brings one of those to MK they will need a thick skin

To be fair, if you paint the Mafia bike green and stick Haro decals all over it (which a load of twats will do) is it really any worst than the Haro things?

Question: If someone on here builds a cruiser, I've never seen the word BMX stated with it. If a bike doesn't have 20'' wheels but bigger, is it still a BMX or a cruiser then?  :-[

BMX racing has a cruiser class, so the short answer would be yes

Never really understood the 24" 'freestyle' retro bikes though

Saw this on fookbook. What a price mark up on it!.  Its laden with awful/cheap parts , you think they would at least use some high end components ,maybe whack some diamonds on it here and there, or even get some stuff gold plated!.

Suppose it fits in with some of the general Facebook builds though they just need to add custom/skyway/burner/vw/barn find   :buck2: Worth every dollar then!  :police:

Oh yes, I know there's a cruiser class in BMX racing, but I always wondered. Thanks for clarifying this to me.  :daumenhoch:

Not really. Looking at a modern Haro it doesn't look anything special to me. In fact, I wasn't exactly enamoured with the build quality in the 80s either. Always seemed to be about the name.

It's a shame Mafia have gone with the colourways they have. You've got the rainbow there and they do it in curry burner special too. Really missed a trick there, they could have done something so much better with it.

I don't think the Mafia is terrible...it is certainly not ridiculously priced, anyone know what it's made of? EDIT just looked on the site and it's Hi Ten....shame

I was upset when I saw the Harry Main bollocks on his channel.
WTF are they thinking?

He wasn’t around in the 80’s and neither was Mafia Bikes... and it shows.

Mafia+  affordable + old school looks? What's the issue? There's loads of people who can't afford a retro haro, and as for what metal it's made from I'm sure it's man enough....

If you mean the new ones they are making.
Its for those people who have grown older and just want to be able to cruise around on.
The 26 and 29ers are apparently big sellers in the US aswell.

Main issue for me - just look at it
I know a lot of people bash Mafia & normally I’d respond with something like ‘as a starter bike they’d be a lot better than some other bikes’ but that is honking

I get that, it’s just the fact that they never existed BITD
Anything that gets people riding a bike is good though

Shite and errr... shite.  "nono"

coming soon to a skatepark near you  :-\
https://hypebeast.com/2017/11/dior-homme-bmx-editorial

They wont last long once some fashion victim bowls down the skatepark giving it large and comes a cropper resulting in a compo claim against em. Stick to clobber you greedy bastards.  :-\
Are you guys missing the point here? Dior don't really give a s**t about creating a real BMX, they are just using it to show an 'urban' edge or something.  Do you think these bikes will ever be bought or ridden by anyone that understands BMX - no, never, not at 3000+ price tag. Do you really think a 'fashion victim' is really gonna ride one into a skatepark? No. These are just fashion accessories for the rich - famous or stupid. If anyone buys one of these they will be a pony in an expensive apartment used to run around Manhatten or Mayfair or in a huge house in Abu Dhabi, by people who drop your yearly salaries on a whim buying a watch....

Do you think the designers, or however collaborated with them, have looked at this website? No. Do they think they've created a real BMX. No.
When I was born, the world was a far simpler place.
It was all just cops and robbers.
And BMX.
