Bojangles Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 What year is that? Mid 90's? Dyno Slammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic commando.. Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Yup, It's a 97 Dyno Slammer... That one aint mine but i have the same exact bike in the same condition, i just changed my tower and my pics are in my old one so i looked it up and found this... I also have a 1983 DiamondBack formula 1 in real clean condition! Fuckin thing is light as a feather... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R@ndomH3ro Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Screw your low seats! Just got my laid back seat post and my Skyway mags! You are old and fat, I am surprised those mags can hold your chunky ass. Skyways aren't good for shit except looking good. Low seats are easier to clear on the whips or when you are hopping up something high your seat wont become a anal plug, also I really dont ride on my seat since I am not a lazy burgerface like Bojangles, I mostly stand up and pedal even when I am riding to work I stand and pedal for 5 miles. The only time I sit is if I am going down a crazy hill or just chillen. Those oldschool bikes are cool but just not practical for what I am doing.

R@ndomH3ro Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Also do you guys even ride those bikes? Are you like 5"1? Most oldschool bikes dont have a toptube bigger then 20. I would bang the shit out of my knees and I am only 5"9. I ride in style on the 21in toptube... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Mine was just a project to rebuild for fun in between burgers. I might take it out once or twice this Summer crusin.

R@ndomH3ro Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 ouch... I rode an old mongoose while I was back in Austin...I realized that this shit would never fly. I banged the shit out of my knees. Dont get me wrong guys, I like oldschool bikes. They are neat to look at and are kind of a cool throwback to cruise on. Now, I wouldnt ride one everyday. I like my Pantera, its light, low, and that seat low to get it out of the way when hopping/crashing/trying to do some tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 hahaha Im a flatlander though...been a while since Ive road because of road biking more. That is one factor Ive never had on any of my bikes....light weight. I think on average all of my bikes were about 35 pounds. I had friends that dropped cash for titanium everything and would cut off any excess metal on their frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@ndomH3ro Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yeah, freestyle and flatland bikes are built with the old school geos...I dont mind them (except why does it seem that your seat posts get higher and higher?) Here in Germany flatland is more popular then street/park riding. The shop near me sells only flatland bike parts which is a downer for me when I need something now. There is a video I need to find and post up of some dude who rides for Standard that does a combo of flat tricks and parks stuff..its pretty neat. TI parts are expensive as shit, my brother in law has TI spokes and wheels and the tension on them are so high that he snaps nipples like it aint no thing. Its sucks for him because replacing them are outrageous! I was thinking about getting a TI spindle for my BB but then I looked at the price and said fuck that!

IRON CHEF Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 FLATLAND/DIRT/HALFPIPE FOR A WHILE WAY BACK IT WAS ALL THE SAME SET-UP/BIKE TO US BACK IN THE DAY. ALTHOUGH I LEARNED QUICK THAT COLORED TIRES SUCK ASS IN THE DIRT!! YEAH IT SUCKED DODGING THE SEAT FOR MANY TRICKS, BUT THAT'S HOW IT WAS. MUCH RATHER CRUSH ON MY HUTCH TRICKSTAR THAN ANY LOW SEAT BIKE NOWADAYS. IT'S CALLED PROGRESSION, AND I CAN RESPECT THE NEW SHIT, JUST RESPECT WHERE ALL THIS CAME FROM. US LOOKING FUNNY AS HELL IN OUR FUNNY CLOTHES/HAIR/SEAT HEIGTH WHATEVER. WE ROCKED, NOW YOU ROCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@ndomH3ro Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 That pic is always funny and bad ass at the same time. Bmx is just like skateboarding, at one time owning a fishtail was awesome and used for everything from street, pool, and vert. But then the double tails came out and technology got better. Same with BMX, I remember you rode the bike you raced, dirtjumped, everything...now the geos for all those bikes are diffrent. Like Iron Chef said, progression of the sport. I like oldschool bikes, I almost bought an old 91 S&M Holmes from a dude just to have. Parts and bikes have gotten lighter and stronger with time, thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sucks for him because replacing them are outrageous! I was thinking about getting a TI spindle for my BB but then I looked at the price and said fuck that! Yeah. Flatland has died but yet its huge outside of the BMX scene. My old city had a huge following but it was never spoke about in the parks or on the street but if you went to the right spot on certain days there would be myriads of Flatlanders. I missed out on TI a while back. There was this CNC company that made TI bike parts for extra business. Primo and Profile crank spindles were like 30 bucks and they did 44t,36t, and 25t chainwheels for like 25 bucks. I never jumped on it and lost the link to the site years ago. As for the other post on weight...I never liked a bike that was too light. One of my old riding buddies was a kid with money and he always had the best and the lightest. I was cared shitless to ride his bike because it just felt like it was going to float away on me. I liked a decent weight, but I can understand when its just too heavy. Call me weird but its just me.
