I recently brought a complete bike from Fishface, a white TA. It is gleaming and the sun is out! Im at work and it is sitting in the office staring at me wanting to go out for a nice ride home but these wheels have never touched the tarmac. Shall i or shant i????????? ::)
I leave at 6.
-
go for it. :daumenhoch:
-
Do it, T/A's are meant to be ridden. If you do not service it regularly, it will find somebody who will :LolLolLolLol:
-
Look in to the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, look in to the eyes
DO IT! :daumenhoch:
-
Do it{in a white goodman voice}

DO IT :2gunsfiring_v1:
:) DINGO :)
-
Im doing it! Fook it. This bike aint gonna get hung on no wall! I will tell what its like. Im 6ft 3 and bald so i dread to think what im gonna look like! Cant wait. Aint ridden a bmx since i was 13!!!! :D
-
ride it through mud, and do some bb grinds on a knobbly ledge
-
oh, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!! do it! do it! i had same dilemma as you - recently acquired a few old schools and hadn't ridden a bmx for 20 odd years, and none of these had ever been ridden, but took the plunge and took my haro master out, best thing i've done for a long time. felt like a kid again. its was cool as f*@k. and the funny looks from people was well worth it. so get home and ride that pony!! do it NOW. you have been told............
-
get some pics when you get home

MATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! What a fookin laugh that was!! The chain came off so i had to go back to work and adjust, everyone was pissing themselves at work.
I set off again and i realised as i approached the end of the road that cos i back to blacked the tyres at the weekend the pads werent stopping the bike. Nearly killed myself!
Then i got a funny noise coming from the back wheel and i thought the bearings were siezing up, but i rode through it and maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan the amount of stares i was getting. I felt like a bmx stud muffin! It was like having hair again!
Did the usual bunnies over curbs and wizzed in and out of cars but that was the best experience i have had for ages and believe me i do live it up! :daumenhoch:
Gotta a quater pipe up the road and it is gonna get smashed at the weekend. Just hope theres a hospital bed for me!!!!!!!!
Later Nick.
ps. Fish im so sorry.....................................

..and they're dead envious, jealous even ;)
-
Its that double take !!!!!!
when they see you
and even better if they actually speak to you , so you can direct them to RAD lol
-
Good on ya!
That's what it is all about, just cruising onthe old schools. Pull a few wheelies, jump a few kerbs.
I ride all my OS bikes, they aint ornaments! :daumenhoch:
PMSL at the loose bits though. you can tell it was built to be shown.
Now youfinally got it home give it a proper service and tighten everything up. Ready for the next session! :4_17_5:

Amost the same here! 5ft 9 and almost hairless and fat. Went out on it after work quickly tonight. Jesus my legs hurt and only went round the corner lol
-
Thanks lads. Its great. Get them show ponies out of stable! They are there to be CRUISED on, not THRASHED. I would never do that. She has had a good service tonight and im getting up at 6.30 and i cant wait. Nice fresh air, the sun just coming up, crusing on down to work with the paint glistening. Yeeeh. ;)
My legs are Fooked though. Its not like those mountain bikes!!
ps. I might be bald but i aint fat!!!

coooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll :coolsmiley:
cool and oldskool, there is a reason they rhyme ;)
-
cool, last year at mk radman gave his fully kitted out jmc to darren to race, what it was made to do, the only reason i stopped riding my trickstar was cos i could feel it flex under my slim frame
-
Cool episode Nick , a TA out on the streets :daumenhoch:
-

lol

Just to end the story......... I got up at 6 and set off at 6.30. Took a ride in to work. Talk about a proud owner! :D
Took her up the stairs and in to my office. I spent 45 mins cleaning the wheels and frame. Went over her after with a soft mutton cloth. BRAND NEW. :) Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I experienced the thrill again, and i loved it, but this piece of art is too good to ride. I felt terribly guilty that i took her out again. I took advantage! After 24 years, she needs a deserved rest. And so, after a night and morning of wild passion, she returns to the wall, showing off her beauty, for all to see...................... :'( :'( :'(
JACKANORY!

Have you got any pics of your bike?
-

lol
;)
My Trickstar is my 'riding down to the Tandoori' bike, funnily enough, the first time i rode it out the chain popped off, LOL !!
IMO even show bikes deserve an ride, but just a gentle cruise ! ;)
and keep riding the TA Munners ! :daumenhoch:
-
Im doing my 1st build, a chrome TA at the mo. I only need a pair of bars to finish. I ma stuck bad! When its done i will post some piccys of both. There are some piccs on the site in the museum but i have changed nearly the whole bike since those were taken. And they are crap piccs (apart form the front wheel shot- good enough for any screen saver!!!)
-
What bars are you looking for?
-
I have done the Ta with Ukai's. After the recent Ta debate on here about Tuffs or Spokes on a Ta, i thought what a good idea to do a chrome one with spokes.
I got Ukais on it, so i dont really need freestyle bars as the bike is more of a race bike. I got a set of Haro chrome bars (86ish awesome condition) but i dont think they go. Would CW's go? Then if i get CW's they would have to be real and they are hard to get and expensive. GT race bars????? Skyway chrome EZ (1st edition) bars.
Basically with the dough i have spent on the bike (top gear on it) , i cant really stick average bars on it. Any idea's??????????? ;)
-
I have a pair of E-Z Bars MK1's totally mint and NOS, in Chrome, may trade em for another pair of Pro size bars, or some Tyres ??
