Who is your bike's nemesis

I always felt like Ford vs Chevy that there were bike companies that competed head to head.   For me it was Redline vs Hutch.  That being said, I love Redline's and my second fave would be Hutch.

So who us your bike's nemesis?

Re: Who is your bike's nemesis

Growing up a GT guy, it was Haro.  Now, as an S&M guy, I guess I am supposed to say Standard bikes, but I just don't feel that way.  Personally, I feel the need to support all companies that make their stuff in the U.S.

Re: Who is your bike's nemesis

i never had one of those.. never paid much attention. in the 80s i paid more attention riding my bike instead of crying about other bikes i didnt have. I loved my bike and raced the hell out of them and every year i would buy another bike and some times it was the same and other times it was what ever was on sale that week.

Re: Who is your bike's nemesis

The streets themselves are my bike's nemesis. Most days I can't go more than 2 miles without getting a flat.


Do I owe you feedback? Please remind me via PM and I'll take care of it.

Duh, Hutch.  I'm into a bunch of different brands, but Hutch bikes ride like crap (except for Trick Stars and Judges).

Re: Who is your bike's nemesis

Mine is:

-car drivers getting in the way, and being  on every street I take even if it's the middle of nothing.

my bikes arch villain:

- so far no other bike started anything with my bike.  I guess I can say, glass and nails are the main villains of the bike.

My bike's nemesis is the spine ramp at our local park. Every time they fight I end up getting hurt...

Maybe early on, but by the 80s they veered away from the same price point and quality, Redline went up Mongoose started going down.  I would say Hutch was more neck and neck.

This seems perfect, they were great then both started a steady decline at around the same time and were about the same price point and general popularity.
