Topic: what defines a show bikenot what will win a comp
My point of view for what its worth.And btw, why does a show bike need era correct parts. I know many people who constantly updated and replaced worn parts / improved parts etc, that werent 'era correct' bitd, so whys it so important now?Do what you like...
Its a good question and open to a lot off ar5eholes, (ar5eholes being opinions).The thing is, ANYBODY can build a show winning bike, the bits are there, somewhere, at a price. There is no such thing, in my opinion, of an "extinct" bicycle part, just gotta locate it and, if the seller knows its worth, pay BIG bucks for it. "ANYBODY" just needs the money to accomplish such a task.The point is; MONEY can build the ultimate BMX, but "ultimate" in who's eyes, Only with hard graft and elbow grease, do you get "true" satisfaction.Your own satisfaction is what counts, right?Ad
Clean it/Build it, and if you like it then show it...
