Mid school "collecting"

<< < (6/19) > >>

Bike crap? No. I've got an exceptional orchid collection though.

condrbkr:
-Animal OG topload stem that I still rock it for my current build
-Animal Purple Jump Off 12-100
-Fit Edwin bars cut down to 22' with like a 10 layers of spray paint on them.
-I got a Kink OG peg lying around somewhere
-Not midschool at all but I just recently retired my Mutiny Loosefer V2, don't see myself parting from it.

So much good memories on all of them besides the OG Kink peg which I promptly took off for something that's not a pound a piece.

I got the bug by getting given a few things here and there by friends who stopped riding - the big one was a 2000 Condor with the badge graphics. I never had money for "proper" aftermarket completes until I finished uni. I'd have a good frame and stuff when I was in my late teens but there'd always be a bunch of bargain basement shit on it. Now it is kind of like "I always wanted a DK Legacy - and that is fuck all" so I jump on it. I really like T1 stuff and it was crazy expensive down here (if you could get it) so I've got a fair few T1 things. As we all get older the shit is getting more expensive. BMX Museum has kind of put me off it but kind of got me into it. It's  great way to find shit and a great way to go "I'm not getting the stage where I start convincing myself that my kid/wife/dog/neighbor really want me to build a BMX for them"

I can't get into doing things 100% period correct and all that shit. I mean, I still run a DK stem I got in high school. Who changes all their shit every season? I like mixing it up.

dude...:
i used to have a warpig and sta from around 98 even though i didnt ride back then. i snagged em cheap, then sold them on, kind wish i didnt now but i wouldnt ride them, theyd only gather dust so not much point.

ive got loads of other old parts though, most arent that midschool. got a few good hubs and stuff though, profile ss 48 lefty, profile shelled nankai, homer and monkey front hubs, gsport nimrod stem, couple of haemorrhoids, and a pentagon seat.
not really all that midschool, i only used to buy stuff because it was interesting and really cheap (i had no money for decent bike parts for so long, only frame i ever bought new was my og sunday and that was half rrp because of padded cell distro going down).

i have my sunday built up as a spare but again, not really midschool, its more just the parts i used to ride that i kept as spares as i moved to more modern/shiney bits.

im stocking up on post-midschool era parts now though while theyre cheap, already got an rnc ti clamp, and picked up some odyssey 41thermal splined cranks the other week. looking for a gen 1 take ivy, nokon cable, shadow slim seat not really

KillSeth:
I don't have a big interest in gathering a collection of midschool shit, but I think my bike is definitely more midschool-minded in build. I am always on the hunt for 33t sprockets and railed seats.

My white whale currently is a 33t DK Iron Cross or Iron Cross Light Sprocket. Someone help me out.
