i think Mid school was the last bikes around 95 or so that still had inch headsets 7/8 seatposts & 3/8 axles!

old school must really be everything up to 87/88 or so $:-\$

I think when they got Ahead Stems & Brake Mounts they became Mid Skool.

Depends on your age too.

I mean, to Reilley1, an old Webco or boingy bike is os.....

To most here, a Haro FSX is OS, or is it?

lol

The fact is, if you like it, build it.

I suppose it is anything that aint 'new' cos even mid is todays old, and yesterdays Old is now vintage,

I have gone cross eyed...
