i ride this



its a newish school ripper
but i'd ride an old one if i had one
the angles are spot on for me!

so long as it has modern brakes and tyres and handlebars and seat it'll do

Nothing wrong with using an old school daily - thats what they were built for - get out there and have some fun  ;)

get yourself a new school, get one of last years models and you should save pounds. it's probaly cheaper! than an old school. get a copy of Ride magazine and check out the companys ad's for the best offers. stick a few of your selection on here and we'll help you out  :daumenhoch:

Definately get a new school...keep the old stuff pretty, cause you can't replace 'em.

silentpartner makes a good point.
I would cry like a little girly if i wrecked my os bikes.
What r u going to do on it? go to work,tracks or ramp work? If your'e just doing bog standard stuff use os.If you are gonna go balls out...get ns ,you can get parts etc.

Here is my daily driver

as strong as an OX, old school, nice angles, light as can be easy to ride, long and the best OS freestyler i have ever had.



I love it, and i know a few of you lot that have had a blast will agree when i say it is the nuts to ride.

orb that bike is nice
all it needs is a few tweeks - ditch the easy rider seatpost and mags and it would be perfect for me
mind you, you are slimmer than me and can ride the placcy wheels ok. you quarter pounder. with cheese.

i used to ride my new school federal division most days, but now got an old school wilson cruiser and it is much more fun for riding round on. It has not been restored so dont mind taking it out.

It wouldn't be hard to throw a motomag goose together with a set of coaster braked tuffs. Thats what I'm building now.
