Fair enough, I get why it looks that way. I’ve just been deep into older BMX stuff lately, comparing setups and trying to understand how they actually rode vs modern ones. Not here to promote anything. Appreciate the input especially the point about weight, I hadn’t really factored that in.

Yeah that’s interesting I’ve heard a few people mention the weight difference being a big factor too. I guess that ties into how materials and construction changed over time, not just geometry. What I’m still trying to figure out is whether the “feel” people talk about with older frames is...

Yeah that makes sense center of mass seems like the biggest factor in how these handle. I’ve seen a few older setups where the engine placement basically dictated whether the bike felt stable or sketchy at speed. Did you ever ride any of the older front-mounted or high-mounted engine setups...

Interested in vintage BMX and old school bike restoration. Mostly collecting and learning about frame history.
