Mid skool Bmx ideas ?

[Bigjoe87]

This is costing me a small fortune but I’m enjoying it, I’m thinking of doing another bmx after or a 90s mtb.

Love it and that lever Good score! I too had a Backtrail BITD - https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb223965/p4pb223965.jpg

That’s cool ! This is costing me more than expected but it’s about the nostalgia not the money.

Ha! They always do I have an ongoing project over in the States - an early 2Ks Fit https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOU-INBXEAMrAN8?format=jpg&name=large - built up with parts from a new school bmx but it deserves a set of Pitchforks and a Redneck stem

Sweet good to see a holy roller on one seems we have similar taste I won that on eBay for a good price. Are you running them front and rear ? We used to have a street rear and max daddy front in my dirt jump days.

Yes, running a skinny 1.8 on the rear It's my trail bike too over there so I need all the help I can get on the hills.

I remember the 2.2 Max Daddy tyres - they were pretty hefty

Haha you got it. I think I’ll go for a street rear on this build I’m trying to create the same bike I had when I was a teenager me and my best mate are having a midlife crisis build off

eBay after a few beers strikes again I got the front for a third of the original rrp! I wanted black wheels but couldn’t resist a bargain, so looks like I’m going silver rim with black spokes on the rear to slightly match unfortunately can’t find a matching rear anywhere.. ah well luckily there’s no rules in a bmx build

 

[Bigjoe87]

Getting there good deal on rear wheel cheers chain reaction!

Should be done by next weekend going to take it the local skate park then probably put it on display or sell it for the next project
