Bmx in the background is kack. One piece crank. Purely for show. It would bend if ridden in anger, as it should be. All just for show. For what it's worth I have an FBM auto-pilot. Slammed rear end and steep front end for rotational goodness and technical street riding. Ramps are passé. Maybe. Idk. Just watching because I'm getting the gearbox on Monday. Contravertially for a complete SSR scuderia minus gearbox.
It may well be ‘kack’ by todays technology standards, but when it was built nearly forty years ago in 1983 it was an excellent bike. The frame is made from Reynolds 531 tubing which was amazingly strong and light. Fitted with Dia-Compe MX1000 brakes and ACS Z-rims, it was a trick little bike. It’s a Rampar R11-XL… pre-cursor to the famous Pro Burner. I’m 50 now, I don’t ride… but that bike won me trophy after trophy on the track and, contrary to your suggestion, it did not bend.
@@drunkmunkey6969 Hmmmm. Pro burner you say? Personally always considered all burners as the bmx equivalent of a triumph t10. Basically a knee jerk reaction to a growing awareness that Raleigh had effectively missed the boat and a massive chunk of the market share. An actual good bike from the period would be something like a GT Pro performer. This is all of course pre Standard bikes dialling in and fixing the geometry in the late 90s. Up till then everything was kack and bent on a regular basis. Three piece cranks came into existence specifically because one piece cranks failed consistently. I guess it depends on what you're doing. If you're hopping around in circles in a car park I suppose they'd do. I'm 51 in a couple of weeks. I do occasionally still ride despite utterly destroying my right anterior ACL in 2007 failing a pointless nollie 180 off a three foot wall. Luckily I did it in Shrewsbury so it got fixed at Gobowen. The world leader in knee rebuild hospitals. Gazza had his knee rebuilt there. I never did win any awards. I did once win a £10 voucher at a street do in brum. That was for a fairly epic 45 degree nollie off a ten set. At speed. A nollie, in bmx terms is a bunny hop off the front wheel. But I guess you know that.
@@nathanprentice7230 can’t post pics on here, but my other was was a DiamondBack Harry Leary Turbo… a more substantial machine than the Rampar. I was a 7 stone child in the early 80s… I wasn’t going to be bending any frames or cranks no matter how hard I raced. Pour as much scorn on bikes of that era as you wish, but these were popular machines that served the youth of the day quite amply.
@@drunkmunkey6969 as a 50 year old I do remember the bikes of the era. Scooters and BMX take up pretty much equal chunks of my heart. And bmx bikes prior to the mid 90s were kack. Due to being based on the geometry of the Sting Ray. In much the same way as a Cushman is kack compared to an LI. "Pouring scorn" is a touch dramatic but OK. Why by the way do you have masonic symbolism on your shed wall? Asking for a friend
