......not that i'll be buying one, it fails on 2 counts - it's less than 25 years old and it isn't made by mongoose

needs white tyres!

don't lean it against a freshly painted white wall, you'll be looking for it for ages

indeed, 27lbs for a £400 complete is good in my opinion. but i know f*** all my bike weighs a ton....or tonne....when I'm on it. lol. lol.

meticulous · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2009, 10:38 AM »

still with the "all new school bikes are boring and black"

whats wrong with you fooking idiots?

there was a brief spell back in the mid school era when black/dark bikes were popular, but that was like 10 fooking years ago

do any of you actually bother to read bmx magazines these days?

because all i've seen for the last 3 years are multi coloured bikes

i swear to god, if i hear that fooking lame old "old school bikes were more colourful and new school bikes are boring" argument one more time i'll scream,

JT71 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 23, 2009, 12:02 PM »

what he said!

and the chap before him.

mines all black. well it has blue grips and some glow in the dark pedals.

but like i said in the good/bad thread one of the main arguments from old schoolers is "new school bikes all look the same" or "new school bikes have no character" which is complete bollox if you go to a skate park and look at the bikes, I've never seen two new bikes the same but I've seen tons of TAs with red/blue components, not in skate parks i might add. lol.

and matt black fokking rocks anyway.

Right on Joe. I was going to say the same (well, similar) thing. My bike is black cos I think it looks good.
Most NS bikes are just as god awful as the bikes in the 80s; pastle greens and pinks. Im surprised more Old School guys dont like them

I think......

darkersomeday · « **Reply #20 on:** January 23, 2009, 12:12 PM »

i just want a fooking cigarette.

tbch, i'm 36 years old and not completely unaware of the fact that i am starting to look a bit daft riding a "20 bike, lets be honest we all know we do dont we?

not to ourselves maybe, but to others of our age that dont understand "the love" we probably appear a little on the strange side,

i know this to be true as i've lost count of the amount of times some witty barstard passer by has told me to

"get a bigger/adult bike"

so actually THE very last thing i want is a brightly coloured whip that looks MORE like a kiddies toy!!!!!!

no,

black is good,
black is understated and workmanlike,
it says "i couldnt give two fooks what colour my bike is, its does the job and i'm NOT laurence llwelyn fooking bowen worrying about pretty colours,
i'm a man and this is a mans bike"

better still, no colour at all.
