|   Mtn Bkr needs help buying a BMX . | Notnub
Nov 5, 2003 5:00 PM | | I'm a 6'0 180lb downhill racer/freerider and I've been riding my dirt jumping hardtail at the local skatepark .
I now want to buy a BMX so I can do grinds and genrally use the park better , I will most likely use it for some street riding too .
Any help with brands to look at as well as sizing for someone my size would be greatly appreciated . I'm looking to buy a high end bike to a void having to upgrade later or suffer durability problems.
Thank's in advance. |

Nov 5, 2003 5:27 PM | | I am about your size and picked up a DK Dayton about six months ago after asking around about decent companies. I have upgraded a lot, but mostly out of preference and not really knowing what I wanted up-front (i.e. no durability issues). I couldn't find fault with any of the OEM parts, and if I wanted a street bike, I'd buy another DK in a flash. |

Dec 24, 2003 7:11 AM | | The best brands are probably the ones that are specialists in BMX bikes, brands like Free Agent, Redline, Mosh and others are the best place to start as Bmx is thier backbone. the best thing to do is to shop around and try and get the best quality and most siuted to your style or riding, for grinds your going to want a very stiff and ridged frame as grinds can twist your frame and make it inpossible to ride. but the most important thing is to not get a half assed bike, i spent $100 dollars on a resoanable bike and stuffed it in a week. happy riding |
