Landar copy CW's....they always crushed at the stem and you ended up with bars that used to move half an inch backwards and forwards.

my 92 gt pfst,utter piece of shit :2gunsfiring_v1: . snapped the ht off the frame and broke the steerer tube on the forks at the same time! smashed my full face helmet (which im so glad i was wearing at the time or id probably be dead),sent my teeth through my lip (two of my teeth are still very misaligned from it) im still very pisst at that bike :tickedoff:
not to mention a bunch of other bikes i bent,cracked,broke,sheared dropouts off etc. many one piece (of shit) cranks, axles, wheels, bars,seat posts and on and on  :rant:

and dont get me near tuffs, i break every set ive ever come across (20-25 sets that ive had,went threw them like candy bitd). even broke a brand new one doing a curb endo in the late 80s when i was 7-8 years old.

and why doesnt anybody like the deebo? ( i still havent ridden one so i have no idea what they are like)

I rode a Hoffman Lil Deebo when it came out  and quite liked it! Was rather like a Taj frame - but very very heavy!

Theres just so many.

Ammaco Freestyle 18, Steel throughout broke at least one a week the down tube used to fracture in two and the double top tubes would bend
Ammaco had two specially manufactured in chromemoly but the tubing was so thin these broke too.
The very early hollow stem bolts where the hole was only designed to take the inner cable and not the outer.
ACS Rotors and MK1 Skyway Spinmasters.
ACS Freecoasters (Used to lock up when you least expected it)
Areo Zytec Mags.

Gotta be my Bully.  :-[

Awful welds and design, horrid angles, broke in many many places. I only got it cos it was the first bashguard bike to come with a plastic plate (and it helped when the Dirt Bros started riding them).

skyway ez bars mark 2's

gotta strongly disagree dude, they may not suit many builds but the rake n ridability of them are up there with the best, fantastic feeling bars IMO, just not fussed on the look of em   :(

I agree with you there unlike lots of old school bars they were very rideable, like many others I ran the mini ones and loved them.

BITD i always wonted a lay back seat post, then one day i came home from school and my dad had got me one :D I then discovered he had put it in his pipe bender and made my strait one into a lay back :( . it was not the posts fault just the tight ass dad that bent it, thinking i would love it perhaps i was ungrateful but i would have preferred a strait one than one that looks like it was bent . I do love him to bits though :smitten:

Skyway tuffs.  They looked great but rode like crap!  The grafite tuffs were better for riding but I couldn't afford those. :10_2_12:
