OK Lets Build The Ulltimate Old School BMX (as voted for by RAD members)

[jimmyp]

Ok had this idea for a while, just wondering what kind of old school bmx we would come out with if we picked what we thought where the best of the old school BMX parts.

This is How it would work, each week ill pick a part, lets say Pedals and from Mon - Thursday we'll all debate and put in the thread what we think are the best pedals with pic and description of why that particular part should be on our, RAD'S Ulltimate Old School BMX. Then from Friday to Sunday we'll all vote on the Pedals that have been put forward. Which ever wins the vote will be the part which will go onto the RAD's Ulltimate Old School BMX

You can pick whatever part you want and for whatever reason you think its the best as long as the part is from 1975-1988

Let me know what you think and ill start the thread next Monday 

When we are finnished we can get Radman to build the bike up to see what it will look like

Cool, just think its gonna be really interesting to see what we come out with over the next few months 

[pickle]

Great idea Jimmy!

Ok Jimmy, if its Pedals first then my vote is for Skyway Graphite pedals, they are superb to look at, they feel quality, they are part of a long line of parts from maybe one of the most respected old school brands and to me they shout out Race.

My fav pedals and imo the best quality.

Gonna stick with Race First then we can do Freestyler 

[double chevron]

Looks like a good idea, wonder what it will look like in the end, especially with people who only swear by plastic pedals without any bearings 

[beard1973]

Just build a BURNER you know it makes sense...   

[NORTY40]

Good idea Jimmy  

I can see some interesting discussions comming up on why to choose one part over another  

Should be a bit of fun

No they aint 

[Zippy]

If we are going for the ultimate then surely it'd be the Hutch Beartrap.

I mean if we're building the ultimate dream bike almost all of us would put them on.

[WARDY]

victors were just as good skyways for me too , ya should hold em and touch em and stroke em , like nothing else

[bobafett]

Do it 

As for pedals - I like rat traps

DX'S were the pedal to have back then.
never even saw a set of skyway  pedals till i got back into this hobby.
had 5 sets of em since but still think DX's are the ones.
