I used to ride as a kid (20 yrs ago) and was big into bmx. I was curious if you guys were into all the old frames or if you consided them junk? Sorry if this a dumb question. I'm old and outta the loop.:D

I know the roadie guys are into old frames just wondered if it was the same on this side.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a looptail PK Ripper, but the cost of the things (I've seen ones with cracks go for over a grand on eBay) makes it impossible.

My friend Joe has over a hundred frames, though, with probably twenty-to-thirty of them built up with NOS parts.

I have a couple SE Quadangles (1985-86ish) built. Was curious if I cruised em if it would just be a bad experience.

*they're all gonna laugh you*

LOL:D

The old chromo Quadangles were awesome.

The alloy ones and the current ones, however... stupid.

Haha... I know someone by that name, but I doubt he is quoting hm... unless we actually have a football fan here.

I know what his name is... you obviously didn't catch the joke.

Not you. Him. You never even misspelt the name.

I still fail to see the joke, unless it's a very, very lame version of the venerable Mike Hunt joke.

Yeah, aside from the fact that "Mike Dicta" doesn't work half as well as that, Mike Hunt, or any other like phrase.

You've met someone with the last name "Oxbig"? How about Suuka?

Oxbig sounds like it could easily be a last name.

The other captain of our senior year track team was a girl named "Miracle Head."
No one gave her any guff, because she beat the life out of anyone who did.

Hahaha. That's great. Anyone ever test her out that you know?

More than a few people did, which is exactly *how* I know. She was fast, too. She had long nails like Gail Devers (Olympic Sprinter) did, and she could tear a face up like none other.

Not bad. And fast in what regard? In regard to her name, or in regard to her sprinting ability?

In her sprinting ability, and anyone's attempts to joke about her name.
