This is an Standard that I put together to try and ride brakeless on my backyard ramp, but it got a bit scary once I`d learnt to pump properly

That S&M looks class

billstup · « **Reply #9 on:** December 11, 2006, 11:29 PM »

Yeah it an atomlab stem, not sure on the size though, it`s a Casius (sp) 250 frame, it was my sons but was a bit big for him, so I made up my T1 for him (20tt) when I got my Proper, now he`s on a Fly mosca. I put it together with all the bits and pieces that were over from my newschool builds, and it rides nice to be honest, but I`ve got a freecoaster on my Proper so ride that most of the time

Midschool for me is from 91 to arround 98/99 ....

theRuler · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:19 PM »

easier to say it's just "the 1990's"

rather than limiting it to certain parts and specs

although the phrase "midschool" is bollocks anyway.
when i was buying a new bike in 96 or 97 it was just a "newschool" bike. well it wasnt oldschool anyway!

harris · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:21 PM »

in 10 years time will mid school be called 2nd gen or something similar

SaMAlex · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:35 PM »

And what was it called when you got a "new" bike in the 80s?

My first BMX in 1982 was the first brand new bike I had and it sure wasnt old school at that time!

theRuler · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:38 PM »

it's all cobblers

someone the other day told me that "retro is in". oh great. retro is in. well the sooner it's not trendy to be "retro" the sooner the bmx stuff gets cheaper again.

SaMAlex · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:52 PM »

I met a guy in about 92 who found out I was into BMX.
He said "ive got a firebird, its very retro".
i said "No, its very shit".

I guess he had the last laugh as they are collectable now. Oh well, so are some lawn mowers!
