Old school bikes definitely had more personality. All bikes now look the same.. but they are way better. Most old school bikes I see have a yard stick for a seat post and the handlebars are so far forward your chest is above the front tire lol

Yeah same with mountain bikes. They keep changing standards and new tech constantly (tapered head tubes for example limit your fork choice if you have an old bike). You buy a bike as an upgrade platform and in 10 years, newer parts become incompatible.

I just purchased a 20 in Fat Tire folding e bike, I've been researching and looking up stuff ,this brings back such awesome memories, I'm 53 me and my best buds were so into BMX in our teens, we had Diamondback supergoose mongoose GT Redline it was awesome ! even the parts we used to have I'm starting to remember again I just ordered a pair of odi mushroom grips for my new bike and a laid-back seatpost, 80s BMX ... nothing was better, I'm really interested what the new school is looking like as far as BMX . I can't do it anymore but I love to watch it awesome fun guys

Mod up or loose out boy on the old school. Easy as mate. Just tell everyone the truth. I put 990 mount on my xxl robinson and re chromed it at 17. Was easy to do. Just my time and electro plating. But man it worked so well and like a dime to stop. Also upgrade the robinson dropouts to 8mm for racing and dirtbiking. Re chromed again and was the best bike with balance I've ever riden.

Hope you read this because I have very limited info on the bike I’m about to mention. It was around ’86 or ‘87 and it was called a Jamis Laser Fastimes. My brother and I got one for Xmas one year. His was white with dayglo orange and black trim. Mine was white with pink and lime green trim. They were both fully decked out with rotors, front and back pegs….you name it, it was on it. They cost a little over $500 each and back then, that was about what the Haro Master was running. Only thing is, nobody else around us had one or had heard of them. Nobody that I knew was ever sponsored by them and I never saw them in any of the bike mags. I still have the frame, mags, front forks…..actually everything but the brake parts (levers, lines, calipers, etc.) I reckon my question is, have you ever heard of them and if so, would love to know anything you can tell me about them. Thanks.
