shai Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Some fixed gear retard on here is probably scheming a pair of these on eBay while I type this. I had a chrome Predator when I was 13-14. It was all right, I just rode it to get around. Sometime in the late 90s I was helping a friend clean out his basement and he had a pristine late 80s Performer. I asked him if he'd sell it and he said he'd let it go for $100. For whatever reason I passed it by...it's probably still there collecting dust.

herbsyntec Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 never got my other dream-bike, pk ripper loop-tail Hit up the vintagebmx.com or bmxmuseum wanted and for sale sections....ebay, there floating. I'm not into collecting the 80's bikes so much. I do kind of want a trickstar though. I just picked up a tandem that I'm doing a full restoration to right now, something for my girl and I to ride. I think next I'm trying to get a penny farthing, got to finish this one first. How serious are you about getting that looptail? I know two guys that might have one that work at the LBS.... Nowadays, we are pushing some GHP's, Redlines, Haro still, Kuwahara, Brew, well actually there is this whole CPSIA thing and everything is changing up. I think Brew is done....At one point a lot bike companies were looking to close, but I think people have found ways around it now. Anyways, Staats, some GT, SE and Hutch and Skyway are finding there niche markets. Sun Ringle is the rim of choice for a lot of people, Chris King is the [insert part here] of choice. Triple Traps are out and clipless pedals are in. You should check out some Supercross, people are doing crazy unheard of things on a bike, consistently now. As far as street, flat, starting a new company is like pissing in the ocean. ACS is still running strong too. And congrats to dR for winning Worlds for the US. Peace.

CELT Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 My 5 year old watched " Joe Kid On A Stingray " , and I saw in his eyes the same look I know I had when I watched Santa Cruz's " Streets On Fire " . It's safe to say he wants to BMX . I actually found pegs for his 16" WalMart " Rocket " . :lol: The crazy little sucker actually grinded a curb in front of our house . I need to buy a digital camcorder stat . :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The only thing I have to contribute to this thread is that KGP used to be a sponsored BMX rider I knew he was good and all, but it was hilarious when I realized he had actual fans. Like 5 years back we show up to a skatepark at night, all drunk and beligirent, and there's a few random kids there who, upon seeing him, go "OH SHIT YOU'RE ____! DO YOU WANNA RIDE MY BIKE?!" haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRON CHEF Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 get me an FBM, why are american made frames so god damn expensive? ANYTHING THAT IS AMERICAN MADE 90% OF THE TIME IS HIGHER QUALITY. BUT THE MAIN THING IS THE LABOR COSTS TO MAKE IT HERE IN THE STATES RATHER THAN SENDING THE PRODUCT OVERSEAS (CHINA) TO BE MASS PRODUCED AT MINIMAL LABOR COSTS, BUT DEFINATLEY WITH CHEAPER WELDS AND ALL AROUND QUALITY. PLACES LIKE JAPAN AND GERMANY WOULD BE HELLA EXPENSIVE TO HAVE MAKE OUR STUFF. THATS WHY WHEN "WE" MAKE ANYTHING HERE IN THE USA WE SHOULD MAKE IT THE BEST AND AS FAST AS WE CAN WHILE STILL MAINTAINING QUALITY STANDARDS. BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS A BIG-WIG TRYING TO MAKE A BUCK BY SENDING YOUR JOB OVERSEAS TO SAVE ON PAYING YOU THE HIGHER WAGE. PEACE- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@ndomH3ro Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I wouldnt argue there. FBM and S&M are awesome frames. But the cost is expensive..one day, one day I will own an american frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
