Try to see if you can get your hands on a 1992-1995 Robinson those were built well even when GT bought the company.
Nice catch.
I've just listed it on the Facebook Group Mid School BMX Dayz. All broken down. I'm keeping the forks, bars and stem and the seatclamp is sold already. 😉
One of the best feeling frames ever made
I can only begin to imagine. I was still on my gen 1 Metal Kizz by the time this 250 was made, although that had it's basis in the Trail Boss. The more I look at this bike though, it's evident that it's only purpose was for dirt riding. 45t, 2 x dirt tires, rear wheel set to 15" from the BB, not single sign of pegs. It's a time capsule!
Sick bike man! Used to always want one of them back in the day! Rad find! Haven’t seen a peregrine rim in years!
Agreed! If I didn't have a custom 250 and a Cashius already, I'd be keeping the frame, but I need something a little different. A 125 with AD mounts would be sick. Yeah, the Peregrine wheel was a bonus for sure! Thanks for watching!
Dibs that goose seatclamp
nice
Amazing collection!
And getting bigger I hear! Thanks for watching!
nice build matt 👊
That's what I'm aiming for! Thanks!
Dirty job...someone's gotta do it :D
I left you a message in your box at the museum bro...check it out asap
I like the raw look too when I strip down the paint on my bikes and don't want to bother with the painting process. But I find out that the rust comes up quickly if your clear coat layer is too thin.
100% agree with you. Clear powder coat seems to be much thinner than colour. The rustworm just laughs at your efforts. 😤
I kinda dig that rusty look 🤣👌
@@luk3_7 Horses for courses! 😆
Great video!
@stevegarn5246 Thanks Steve! Stay tuned to see his Brew manufactured puppy returned back to it's former glory! I have a couple of videos up, featuring some of your handy work. My Metal Bikes Burmas, and there's a Terrible 1 Progression on Adrian Jones' episode too. I'm sure I'll come across more as get around to more collections. 💪
raw would look pretty cool 🙂👌 I watched the first vid.. gonna be cool to see it come together 🙂 I like your channel bro it’s rad 👌💫
I do like a clear over raw frame. I used to strip a few back in the day, then lacquer them and build them back up, trying to get that look. Even without the weld rainbows, they looked pretty cool! Thanks for watching and thanks for enjoying the content! Stay tuned! ✌️
@@nowthatsmidschoolyeah bro I’ve always liked the look of raw frames too 🙂👌my pleasure bro 🙂
That whistle at 3:15 trippy AF!!
Hahaha!! Just my tiny mind in surprise mode! Haha!!
Those metal bikes frames are like rocking horse poop. I can’t track them down 2nd hand.
Some more than others, definitely. Don't give up though. They're out there! Thanks for watching!
Cracking frame Matt! Sort of reminds me of my Holmes. Can't wait to see you put it together. I'm a huge fan of NTM keep them coming bro...just awesome stuff.
@JeffCarpenter918 Thanks man, and yeah, there's definitely some similarities to the S&M NG frames, for sure!
Welcome back. Any new collectors episode in the pipeline soon ?
@bmx_mid_school_2023-uc2vr Thanks! There is a collection scheduled to be visited soon. I should have been there a couple of weeks ago but circumstances got in the way. 😭
I need another rbj1 himko, any suggestions
They're out there. Keep checking the Museum, the multitude of Facebook BMX groups etc. That's the best that I can offer. 🤷🏼♂️
I’ll take all the s&ms 😂😂
There's a LOT of those amongst the videos, that's for sure!! 😜
@@nowthatsmidschool yeah I have a 24” atf a 2008 laf and a 2007 stricker v2 I’ve always wanted to build a old school s&m
@@matthubbard904 Stricker for the win! Get it done!! 💪
I missed out on a new stricker for $180 back in 04. Turns out a future riding buddy bought it from my LBS just hours before me.
I'm with Hubbard!
Can tell he’s a mountain biker by the way he builds his bikes
I had a twin top-tube Revo in yellow and a Mirra Pro in blue.
Nice! Personally, I think the earlier twin toptube Revos looked nicer than the later ones. Thanks for watching! 🤘
Thes are some beautiful looking bikes!!! My first Haro was a Black Revo just like that one, but I did finally upgrade to a Mirra Pro way back and it was my dream bike at the time. It was a raw version that I rode the hell out of. I managed to keep it all this time, but it’s in nowhere near as good condition as these.
It's great that you hung on to the Mirra Pro! If you're not precious about the original colour (or lack of it😅) you could easily restore it! Restoring isn't fir everyone though. A lot of people have memories tied to the bumps and scrapes on their bikes. Such a good collection, wasn't it! Thanks for watching! 🙏
I rode from 91 to 2012. Damn i loved my blammo, tough enough for the job, mind you i did turn my bike into a bomb proof war machine.
One of the beauty parts of the midschool was customisations to your rig. Full custom or complete, they were always getting modded and upgrades. 💪
THE BIKES AND MUSIC 👌
Thanks! The Rodians founder is a good friend of mine who just happens to be a BMX guy too. That's how we met! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Great stuff
It certainly was!! Thanks for watching!
Wow 😮
I wish midschool style’s & geometry were still available. Not everyone wants the pump track race or street all the time. I find newer bikes less enjoyable honestly. I don’t even ride my newer bikes because of this.
I certainly miss the character that was built into Midschool bike components, but I personally love my current ride. A 2021 Metal Bikes Journeyman. Not light but not heavy. Perfect geometry. Still 74.5 head angle, 71 seat tube angle, so close to midschool geo. But yeah, theirs definitely no flair in design these days.
@@nowthatsmidschool Totally agree - there's if anything a fair bit more on the options scale now for frame geo and the like than there was. Admittedly a lot of the frames don't have the chutzpah that we did have back in the 90's and can look a bit sterile, but did you really need a platform on a dirt bike lol. I'm a lanky sod and there were few offerings pre late 90's for a TT that suited me, other than race frames.
Amazing display. The S351, Nyquist's Supra DLX and the yellow Blammo are all killa.
Aren't they just!
fantastic!!!, you need to visit Bara Bikes in Argentina!!!!
I need to get to a lot of places, that's for sure!! Right now though, I can physically only visit UK collections. Maybe one day, the channel will provide funds towards travel. 🤞 Thanks for watching! 🙌
Oh and the others i have are Hoffman ...Easton...GT...Diamond Back...Mongoose..all Middies....and a ship load of Retro MTBs...cheers.!
Damn! You're holding! 💪
I have a few mid school Haro bikes a couple of Nyquists a Revo and an Xgames ridden yellow one still with its Xgames sponsor decals on the frame from about 2003... Thats an awsome collection you have...😍👍👍👍
SICK!!!!!!
🙌
I am also a big fan of Haro from that era and try to collect them all but somehow it is much harder to find than GT.
I can only guess that Haro of this era wasn't sold in the same kind of numbers as the GTs of equivalence. Crazy really. Between the Freestylers and Sports era and the Mirra/Nyquist era, did Haro have any notable riders on the squad, pushing the brand's coverage in magazines and videos?
@@nowthatsmidschool Yes Haro was big in the 80s and you have to pick your side between GT 😆. Both had their champion : Bob Haro and Bob Morales. Both left those brands in the 90s ( in between we've seen the rise of Hoffman and other micro brands ). Not so much Haro coverage in the media as you mentioned until the X games ( Mirra/ Nyquist ) save them. A part of the GT Show ( Aluminium ) which is an icon bike in the Flatland, the Haro Master 1999 ( Cromo ) was heavy and could not compete in this category. This is why collecting those brands / models have historic value.
@bmx_mid_school_2023-uc2vr I reference to weight, the Master in this episode really surprised me in terms of weight. I don't know why I wasn't expecting it to be heavy. S&M Sabbath, Standard Tao, Hoffman EP....they're all heavy and I have recently handled all 3 of those! The Master was amazing to see in person though. The details! The GT Show was special in flatland. Very few Aluminium frames in the discipline at that time and VERY expensive.
And I still have one of the stickers from your heavy-as-buggery Evel Knievel stuck where you left it on my MK1 General Lee Adi. Good to see your collection dude. Mucho hugs from your fellow PFD and 'friend at uni in Bournemouth'
Love the content had a question. I recently purchased what i was told was a solid wasp frame for 40 bucks. I believe its a king kobra but im not sure it 21 inch top tube and has a lightning bolt plate on down tube only no plate on top tube so not sure
That sounds like a Wasp. They didn't have a top tube gusset and the downtube gusset did have a cut-out. Less lie lightening bolt and more like a two triangles joined vertically? Does that sound more like it? The dropouts were also more angular in shape, compared to the KMs.
I rode a killing machine as a kid and by far my favorite bike. Primo powerbites hula hoops redneck stem backjack sprocket gold finger lever slam bars sold it for 500 bucks to pay off stereo tickets the cops in California did not like my loud music
That sounds like a sweet rig!!
He's right flatland bikes are the best looking
I am a sucker for a nice DK General Lee. That thing is lovely.
It really is a nice piece, isn't it!
That is a 2001 Super Stock & it's a nice ride but it did come with 3pc cranks. Awesome collection of midschool tanks ✊🏼
Thanks dude appreciate the info! Yeah It needs a 3 piece I think. Iv put the Iron Cross Chainwheel on it now which is a big improvement. Glad you liked the bikes !
nice job Matt 🚲🚲👍👍💯💯
🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@nowthatsmidschool the Red Morales looks cool
@bakdogg Yeah, that one was a stunner!
Sorry for kicking this off again 🤣 I remember you bringing in a bike to a show and tell at school when we were around 12 and when I dug the bike out I just thought of you.
😂😂😂 this is all your fault
Awesome collection! Was pumped to see a new video come out
Your pump keeps my pump pumped!! 🙏
Absolute pleasure to have you round Matt, always welcome for a coffee when you’re down this way mate! Cracking video again !
A couple of mistakes I made in all the excitement 😂 Original Hoffman Punisher is in Midschool BMX Collection ruclips.net/video/AFIeg7s9xfI/видео.htmlsi=im7CybHdfACesN7a The sister limit frame to mine is apparently in a collection over in Australia. There are a few images floating around of it online.
Thanks Jay! It's easy to forget the details sometimes, but that's just the way it rolls. It stimulates conversation too, so it's all good!
Best one yet!

My parents saved up for my birthday and Christmas to be able to give me one big gift. They gave me a pearl light blue Schwinn Predator Freeform EX 1986 with the white skyway mags, cobra grips. Someone stole it the very next week. I was a CRUSHED 11 year old girl. Broke into my basement garage and stole it.
That's horrible! Especially given the lengths your parents went to to get you a gift as good. One thing hasn't changed though, and that's people out there who want what you have and will take it with no remorse if opportunity's presents itself. I think most, if not all of us have been effected either directly or indirectly by such acts and there's no getting away from the fact that it's horrible! My brother and I were working on building site back in the day. About 1999. My brother had picked up a brand new Mongoose Sniper from the nearby bike shop, on behalf of his neighbour. We stored it on the building site (inside an existing building refurb) and someone must have been watching. They came on to the site, looked for and found it and then peddled off. That too was going to be a kid's Christmas present. We ended up having to pay for it ourselves. As kids ourselves, there was always a bike going missing in the village, it seemed. 😞
@@nowthatsmidschool No matter how old you get, you still want your bike back. Thank you for the response, it was really cool of you to write back. I'm riding a Zebra Intense 2008 Pro Xl decked out in SINZ. I have no idea how much it's worth but the mini of the same bike in Zebra paint, only the frame with no forks is selling for 1,500 online because it's so rare. I only paid 100 bucks for it, but the folks had no idea what it was when they sold it. I don't know, I'd rather have my Schwinn back. Just something about that Schwinn with the bent seat post...you could ride a wheelie for DAYSSSS. Take care, good luck on your channel and best wishes from Birmingham, Alabama. I have a 2002 Mosh Method 2 Star Junior too on alexrims vp15. I trade both of those bike for an 86' Schwinn. Without hesitation.
