Haha. Those are a bit old school. You should restore them to their prime just to have a kick with it.

old bikes are meant to have the seats up high. i like the bikes but i would not freestyle on them in fear of self destruction. too much rust=unsafe.

Deal with it. It's just a thread where people post up their bikes.

This thread has no point. Everyone should just post up their new rides on the old thread when they get a new bike. No need to have two threads. It's forum clutter.

Yeah, that made absolutely no sense. Seriously, stop your complaining- it's only a thread. Bringing back the other thread will do absolutely nothing. Just post your bike checks and stop your bickering.

My parts still haven't come in from three weeks ago... so no bikecheck for me yet. They are also sending the wrong seat post so I may have to go elsewhere.

I wanted the Macneil Stump and they are trying to get me to buy the regular Macneil because the guy at the shop doesn't know what he's talking about and he thinks they are the exact same thing. I'm probably going to order the Animal post from Dan's since it is the exact same thing as the Stump except a little cheaper and has an Animal logo on it.
