Quad quality

I know that Quadangles are one of the more popular old school BMX's and I know the design of the thing was pretty innovative but as for the build quality I don't think it's up there with any of the big hitters like GT, Skyway or Hutch.

I have a Quad and the welds on it aren't bad, but in places are pretty average I have to say. Bikes built in the US command a much higher sale price but from the evidence aren't necessarily any better build quality in my opinion.

The best welds I ever saw had to be on either the Skyway TA or Redlines Mk 11's, which were both mint.

I did a bit of honest research on this and through an extensive anaysis process my sub-commitee concluded that the universe's best framsets were made in Santa Ana California in 1982-1984.
