Mid school "collecting"
ralph wiggum:
Got a box of stems and sprockets, old Standard pegs, Kastan-built Mosh cranks, complete Kink Fiend, S&M Holmes, my S&M Challenger XL with 990s that was my street/park bike in the early 2000s, Rob Wise's Mirraco and some frames kicking around. I had a bit more stuff but sold a lot a while back. Ideally I would like to do a "bike shop" in the basement to actually display the stuff. That should be happening in the not so distant future.

Basically to me, right when bikes started going to 1 1/8" threadless head tubes up to the point where everything started hitting the light weight phase.

I would backdate mid-school to 1992, with the criterion being thick dropouts made to withstand street riding, and STANDARD's development of an axle that could withstand street use of pegs.
There were definitely "mid school" bikes with 1" head tubes--the Standard Shorty & Lengthy, Hoffman Condor and Big Daddy, etc. Even with S&M, early Dirt Bike and Holmes just had two dropouts tacked together--but when S&M switched to a serious thick dropout for the OG Dirt Bike and Holmes, I'd call that mid-school.
: )
The mid-school bikes I still have are an S&M Widowmaker 24", Homeless Macks '92 and '95, and a 1" headtube HB Taj.

I'm currently in the process of building my sta that I rode a decade ago with an og redneck stem, a Suzue hub with a ti axle, og scerbo bars, a hemorrhoid seat with a rod post w/Marvin's guts. I have been keeping my ears to the ground looking for the old chromoly demolition cranks so hopefully I can get my gritty hands on those.

This thread is pretty useless without pics, but I guess that's what bmxmuseum is for.

There you go.
