5'9" 175lb MTBer looking to get a BMX bike for street/park..(4 posts)

5'9" 175lb MTBer looking to get a BMX bike for street/park..CTRider

and I need suggestions on what complete bikes to look for. I'd say my total budget would be around $300 to $350 tops, but if there are deals to be had for even less then of course I'd be interested.

Can you guys recommend some bikes for me to look into? Also, what size top tube should I be looking for in a 20" BMX bike? I take it that 3pc cranks are something to look for right? What else is key?

Any info would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Mark

there are lots of good bikes out there and I guess it will depend on how much of an all arounder you want. My preference has leaned towards a dirt jumper that can be ridden in street and parks with simple tire changes. I don't grind so pegs aren't an issue but you cna always add those to most DJ bikes. That said, I'd look for something that is a somewhat lighter weight (being a very relative term). Maybe something just under 30 lbs. 3 piece cranks are definitely the way to go btw. As far as mfgs are concerned, there are so many good one's but I particularly think Haro may be the best value for what you want to spend.
