	Heya guys, I just got back into BMX and bought a DK Signal. My primary interest is Flatland. However, there are a number of skateparks around and the only other person I know that rides, only does street. Everytime I leave the ground on my DK, I think something is going to blow up. I can't do crap on it and don't feel comfortable with it. Its just to light and.... fragile. So, I need another bike for my Street/park when I am not practicing flatland. What I would like to do is get a 87-89 era GT Performer or Dyno (Compe or Detour) and use that as my park/street bike. Is this wise? I don't plan on doing any 8 foot drops or anything, but I am not sure how well those mag axles hold up with grinding and stuff. Any of you riding oldschool bikes (especially GTs)? What should I be aware of and what are my limitations going to be? Thanks!

	You're the one from TN, not me. That's your redneck style.

	the main things you need to remeber is the cost of these old bikes from this era is getting exspensive and the dropouts fold very easy.

	The newest bikes are gong back to sissy strength, but nowhere near so far back as one of those collapsable big money company frames from the jersey days kickme.to\pipelineaudio
