|   trading my monster t for bmx-need opinions | dream4est
Dec 10, 2003 9:06 PM | | hey guys i have a bmx question. which bike do you think i should trade my 01 monster t for?
03 haro backtrail x4- 20.65 top tube
03 eastern bikes ace of spades- 20.0 tt
02 eastern bikes ace of spades- 20.5 tt
all three bikes are brand new, and i am 5 foot 8. |
| do you think it's worth it? | mosplat
Dec 10, 2003 9:15 PM | | what year is your monster t?
how much do you think you could sell it for?
well, I guess if it's older than it's equal to a bmx bike..
what kind of riding do you intend on doing?
the 20inch tt ace of spades is most probably too short for you.
if you're gonna ride mostly street, a 20.5 is probably best.
if you're gonna ride trails/dirt jumps then go for the 20.65. |

Dec 10, 2003 9:21 PM | | thanks. i am gonna dirt jump the bmx. its a 2001 monster thats is kinda out of place on my 01 stab. i have a 04 z150 now and think that fork would work better on a 6 inch travel frame. i rarely use my monsters full travel anyway. plus i do not think that i will sell the monster for more than the high three hundy range. the 20.65 tt haro x4 is a killer ride from what i hear so far. |
| yeah haro's are great bmx bikes. | mosplat

well that sounds good then,
if you don't need the monster t
and could only sell it for that much.
cool with the bmx,
they're a great change of pace from big bikes
and a good way to practice technique.
have fun with it. =) |
| bmx will improve my technique..... | dream4est
Dec 11, 2003 12:49 AM | | plus if i start outriding my 6x6 bikes ability i can get a new dh bike next year. the z150 is more my style. i jump big stuff, drop medium stuff and like slow, techy north shore stuff. i land light so the monster just laughs at me usually (and only pushes 150mm of travel or so). plus i feel the z150 will handle 15 foot drops to proper tranny anyway. monsters steer kinda funny anyway. if next year i go to virgin utah and huck big then i will just get a new bike. mainly im afraid the monster will ruin my kona stab and crack my 3d front end. plus bmx djing is off the hook lately. |
| mark, nothing shorter than a 21" TT or you will be :(........ | WestCoastHucker
Dec 11, 2003 12:07 PM | | you aren't the little boy you once were. mine is a 21.5" and i wouldn't dream of riding a storter bike. |
| Hey dream4est | RFXR
Dec 11, 2003 4:52 AM | | I have several new or great condition BMX bikes, and I have a whole bunch of top quality parts i'd be willing to trade for your monster. Email me at RFXR@sbcglobal.net I bet you i could build you something you'd like.

Dec 12, 2003 8:33 AM | | what are the tt lengths on those frames you mentioned in the email? also, are they aluminum frames or chromoly?
westcoasthucker thanks for the info. i agree that 20.5 tt range is short. apparently a lot of great bmx guys, like dave mirra, ride 20.5's. but i like roomy bikes and i should just go try some at the lbs sot see for myself. |
