The bikes from back in the 80’s were a piece of art compare to modern bikes. Love that you guys have dedicated this channel to mostly vintage bikes and not so much the newer stuff.

@AlfredoMancuso 8 ай бұрын

Well we try to mix it up! There’s 1,100 videos on this channel but the majority are still modern BMX

@timothybaker6596 8 ай бұрын

I used to think the same thing. Grew up in the 80/90’s, but as I got into modern day stuff there is a lot more character and identity to the newer brands than I thought. It’s hard to appreciate the aesthetics and differences in the different brand until you know what you are looking for. My 2 cents.

@@AlfredoMancuso I know you are an 80s GT freestyle fan. I have in storage tons of GT 80s build sets. I have frames sets to build 4 84/85 PP and World Tours...4 to 5 86 frame sets spanning every model.....5 87 frame sets of PFT and PP all with coin roll(dayglow pink, white, maui blue, black and pink). Will consider selling once I move and start my builds.

I put my seat all the way back for more reach, having bigger hands helps when doing a trick to grab the bar and seat helps to fill the gap between. Both cables for me in front of the bar tangles less with the feet if going over the bars. I'm surprised no Odyssey Gyro or ACS Rotor for it.

Why rear wheel is not full slammed in dropouts, you have a lot of clearance, I know that, that the old frames doesn’t have a lot of room and clearance, but I personally think you can remove 2-3 links and rear end will be shorter and wheel will be looks more clean, sick and closer to frame bridges ❤
