Insert Jingle here: Like Stu, If I could be like Stu... I think it's pretty cool too- I bet he mowed a lot of lawns for some of those parts..

Great topic- This is an old pic of either my 83 ta or 84 xl bitd, which I think I posted before. This was my original race bike, and I had a haro master, but it road like shit on ramps, so I shelved the master and just swapped out a few parts back and forth. Note gt performer bars and pegs. I wish I had pics of me riding this same ramp on my race cruiser.. Decent air on 1/4 pipe sans helmet and pads...

Interesting, I always thought they had really good tolerances compared to other bearing sets made by other manfacturers. I personally preferred the factory loose ball, Hadley, or PPP bitd anyways.. Sorry for the side track, I just find other people's thoughts on preference and performance interesting.

Let me sum this up: Repops suck, and the only people they benefit are the repoppers lining their pockets. Unless you are the originator of the brand/part/patent (not that I'm entirely for those either), leave a good thing alone. If you are truely into the progression of bmx and want to spend your money on something useful, go to your local races, sponser local rider and/or teams, do some real R and D and develop a new ground breaking part and sell THAT. Don't ride the coat tails of the true innovators before you.

Diamond Back ~~~ gets very little love. Why?
swbuf replied to S.Brothers's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
I thought they were alright, one of my best buds rode 'em forever. For me though, I thought DB hung onto the gusset too long, and wasn't crazy about how any of them rode, including their best effort-turbo. I also think that you had a lot of choices bitd, so it just never made the list for me. My 2 cents. -
I'd check with Jim and see what color it was from the factory, then go from there. If it was a cool factory color that you were into, I would fix it and repowder. Also, do you plan on riding it, and are you sure it was cracked?

BMX & the First Production Mountain Bike

I'm surprised that the King Stings weren't before the Stump Jumpers-my dad had one way back, I'm guessing 81, but maybe it was later. Definately dig the tires for sure- -
very nice.
