Quote from: pickle on July 24, 2009, 12:50 PMisn't it supposed to be a bit of fun? although to be honest i rode a mid school Hyper (about 93) which had a pitbul caliper and 1" threaded but i was no quicker on it than if i'd ridden my 83 Cali it's just nicer to rideI agree, the rules of 1" threaded headset and caliper brakes limit the performance and era quite well IMO, sort of early 90's and older.Im new to this old school racing and from what I can see people are in it to just have a good time and not take things too seriously, if the criteria to compete is tightend up too much less people would qualify or be able to race, and that would be a shame.

If its not a real OS bike then dont use it. Why ruin the OS with mid/new school stuff?When Alan Woods started the first OS races the bike had to qualify and it was a stipulation that the rider was also old school.The rider part was a bit unfair, but the bike should be old school.
Trouble with OS racing these days is in a gate of 8 you'll have 5 Robbo's and 3 Haro's. Bring back OS racing from a few years back when a gate of 8 was 8 different OS bikes, the bike we all rode or dreamed of as kids
i was thinking, if we could get enough interest we could run a one off pit bike race on Saturday night
