Fave MID-SCHOOL Bikes

[Swivel]

I had a brief session in the 90's where I went back to riding and bought a beautiful specially made Dyno GT, then sold it about a year later as I was moving jobs, really regret it now.

What's your favourite mid-school bikes and can you wack up some piccy's so I can get excited

my personal all time favourite build/bike/photo

i just love this fooker,

possibly THE most important bike in bmx history too

the first bmx frame to use the clamp-on A-headset system, leaving the shite,antiquated victorian "quill" system behind was a massive positive step for bmx, we havent looked back since

that could be any frame around today right there, and its over 10 years old

mines Harris' Dirt Bros TA.

I want to build me own replica but so far I only havbe some bully forks and an orange front skyway.

I was Hoffman through and through, but if one firm defines the era then it has to be Standard.  Everyone looked forward to their video releases, everyone studied their products and developments religously.  The team (army) was amazing.

It was all about Shortys and Lengthys when I first came to hear of em, but I'd say the STA was the better looking bike.

I'm sure Harris will be along in a mo to bang a photo of his up  


My personal favourite would have been the Hoffman I rode all through the 90s, final batch ramp room Condor

1995/6 S&M Holmes gets my vote.  I was riding a Skyway TA before that.

I had a Standard Bicycle Motocross like Joe's after the Holmes.  Do you not consider the Standard BMX as early new school though Joe, rather than "mid-school" (a term I've never really been comfortable with).

S&M dirt bike and holmes  any year     midschool has some great bikes,

i know what you mean about the "mid" term, its never sat well with me tbh, i'd rather it was all just "bmx",
it could well be though that the standard bmx was the very first "new-school" frame,
my thinking was that it was from the pure mid standards era, the lengthy's and shorty's, sta ,etc,

heres an over posted holmes pic for the fans of big john



challenger anyone? STA? WAL?
solid killing machine anyone?
where are the dk's and the 2-hip's?

I guess this is a jump/trails bike in freestyle/street clothes. Photo taken in 1991, but Ive still got most of the parts.
I will get round to rebuilding it one day.

[woody allen bars]

I'm quite partial to the Holmes as well, but my preference is still for the Homeless Mack - and before you say it, it isn't a Dirt Bike in disguise

The early Homeless were nice.
But does a Decal set and the addition of a coaster anchor even count as a disguise ?

I love that bike Alex - the plate just makes it.

At that time I was usually the only BMXer on the ramps. I just thought Id say what all the skaters were thinking
