Starting bmx...

[pussymoneyweed]

yeah so im loking to start this and i have no clue about it i was just lookin to see if anyone could help me out here.

i want to do the stuff you can do in your back yard, like with dirt and not really urban

what would be a good, cheap complete?

 

[Sufferboy]

petty cash- red line

 

[kyle_w]

fit. if you want a GOOD complete go with a fit. possibly from last year

 

[pussymoneyweed]

k but on danscomp.com i can't find last years

could someone give me a site with last years fits please?

 

[freeskier824]

theres no reason to go out of your way to find last years fits. this years would be fine. also look at verde, WTP, colony. easterns are cheap and look nice but i've heard very bad things about their completes.

 

[WikiWiki]

ive got a redline for sale- 250 origionally 700 has three races on it would work fine for trails

 

[angus_k_]

a race bmx for trails? scary...

WTP makes some nice completes, Fits also good.

Things you look for if youre serious in getting a BMX is a full Cro-mo frame and 3 piece cranks. Heres a link that should help you

BMX race bikes are so much fun. They weight like 1 ounce and they friggin accelerate like you strapped on a v8.

My redline is probably like 8 years old. Never did a damn thing to maintain it and it works perfectly.

[freeskier824]

its cheap for a reason. i'd stay away from eastern, their parts tend to break

 

[pussymoneyweed]

k.. but i need a relativley cheap bike though!

 

[pussymoneyweed]

[skrilla_MAC]

[chapz]

we the people, fit, eastern(maybe), colony are all good choices. but if youre just starting off, even a dk would do

 

[slaydave]

hahaha that thread is amazing

 

[CoonKiller]

go down to your local shop and pick up a gt,

 

[bigolrig]

eastern bikes are just shit, imo.
