best old school bmx? how d'ya mean?

JMC's snapped n forks bent very easily
GHP's snapped very easily
PK's snapped or cracked very easily
HUTCH snapped and where chromaphobic
Haro Gen1's cracked and bent
GT pro's snapped often
VDC CHANGA's snapped with ease

All in all i recken everything taken into account and i dont personally like em much, but it has to be the SKYWAY TA, versitile, strong, pretty and from good stock :)

CHANGA n GHP are my personal faves though

  Looks like Profile it is  :daumenhoch:
Seriously,I loved mine,had an MRD before but the Profile was a different league!!!!

The best hmmmmmm. So many good bikes. I have to pick from ones i have ridden and that includes just about everything mentioned so far. I can't comment on JMCs and Changas.
  Cosmetically the large gusset Turbo gives me wood everytime and when it was released i would say it was the best stock package available bar none. Having now ridden one they also ride great although i found the DB Pro bars a bit small.
  Rippers also give me wood but they are expensive, poorly designed and they break. The Quad i had i had no complaints about but it was too long for me.
The Pro Class i never rode but it was/is an awesome package. The Hutch Pro Racer i had was ordinary. The Redline 500A i had was a great bike for the cash.
The Ta i had was hammered both on track and at Rom out of the tunnel bowl and despite egging two araya aeros landing on flat concrete i couldn't break it. great frame.
The GT Pro was Ok.....
 Still my favourite and first real BMX was the 1983 Torker 280.... 23Lbs and £199. Short, light, strong and flickable. I put that bike through everything and it eat it all. A hugely copied twin toptube design. Great to race and great to freestyle. The forefather of the Haro and many others.
Torker it is then :D
