[Jon.]

old a's?
deck - back dropouts bend/snap, and foldy is weaker than a b model and harder to lock correctly.
wheels - cores are weak
forks - its a stock fork. nothing wrong with it, but there are better
bars - same as fork
brake - better than pro brake
headtube - better than pro, steeper headtube angle and makes your headset last longer

 

[p.c]

my foldy locked easy but dont u think there low to the ground

- thinner metal, weaker

 

[Joe Riley]

are they really? i thought New A headtubes were the only thinner ones out there.

 

[yo]

if you weld on dropout geussets/reinforcments like madis that obvius (did i spelt right?) makes the dropouts stronger = BETTER

 

[p.c]

Wer can I see the madis old a

Old A's Are alright But it you Ride a Pro Model its Sorta hard to get use to them.
There Really Close to the Ground and You tend to scrap alot.

And Just yesterday my freind Broke his Old A at the Foldy.... and he can barly tailwhip. He was doing flat ground too.

i have one, ive rode it like 10-20 times, twice in a park for about 6 hours each time i went, and it holds up nice, much lighter than pro, but to make it heavier you con stick small steel tubing through the deck holes. it works nice.

 

[zolof]

i hate old a's now.
if anyone wants mine ill trade for a pro =]
lol, i know its not gonna happen.

 

[kolbycrouch]

they are good man, wheel cores are weaker than pros but the urethane is stronger, headtubes are the same thickness just steeper, steertube is shorter and forks are great to reinforce, you should get one if its cheaper than a pro, old as last longer for me than b models but i dont know about jdbugs

 

[jimmeh08]

i used to ride one. IT SUCKED. they are wayyyyyy too small for me.
