Ultimate oilslick 2.0

[torontoflatlander]

I physically cringed looking at that. The tires look like old fashioned donuts. The worst kind of donut.

Chiming in to say that old fashioned donuts can be marvelous if made well.

Carry on with this Harry Main bullshit.

BMX is so fucking gay nowadays.

 Couldn't agree more

im sure all you hoarders are making it better by buying all the barcodes

Where might one find some photos from this 'Dropouts' exhibition you speak of?

When I lived in Brisbane I had mad lust for the builds Lux was stacking.

Here you go Marc.

The idea of this bike came around in February last year. We had done bikes for the previous years Dropouts BMXhibition and thought it would be a bit of fun. At that time there wasn't any company doing a full oilslick bike.
Clint from Colony was about to drop the 20th anniversary Prody frames and we hit him up to see if we could do one in rainbow. We also had to have the forks, bars and cranks done as well. At the time no company had released any of that stuff. Clint also had the rims on the way so it seemed to make sense in making up a one off complete. We sent the bars (which were the first samples of Colony's 4pc Hardy bars), forks and cranks back to Taiwan with the frame to have the process done.
Anyway, love it or loathe it, the response from the show was overwhelmingly positive (granted a lot of old/mid school riders).
I personally have never been a fan of oilslick/rainbow/jetfuel finishes and would never run it but there is something about this bike.
It's tacky, over the top, and completely impractical to ride but yet everyone who sees it in the shop is drawn to it.
Certainly oilslick has done it's dash with core of BMX, the mainstream side of BMX are still mid trend.

yeah bmx is awesome if you want it to be. if you want to be jaded and salty about bmx and get into cyclecross instead, then you can do that too. bikes are fun, especially when you ride them with your friends

You're just mad because BMX is gay.

[sans.terre]

eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww ...colony!

[dude...]

im not mad cos my carbon dérailleur snapped though

[Sasha]

You would be though. Them shits is 'spensive. I'm even beginning to wonder when commuting by bike becomes cheaper than the train.

[dude...]

personally i wouldnt waste my money buying expensive bike porn parts, but you know im a function over aesthetics kinda guy. its up to you what you spend your money on, but high end road bike parts seem like a colossal waste of money to me

[GUMP_]

But so much fasts

[weedbix]

You don't understand dude. Buying that stuff makes you better than those BMX kids

[dude...]

id have to be earning a real large amount of disposable income before id be willing to put money into stuff like high end mtb/road bikes and cars. for some people its more of a priority, thats fine. i waste loads of money on video games cos thats what i want to spend it on, im sure some people would think im equally mad for that
