BMX ADVICE k

[rawb]

I HAD A NICE FREEAGENTS TWO FOUR BMX I RODE AROUND TOWN THAT UNFORTUNATELY WAS SO JACKED IN THE LAST ROBBERY ATTEMPT ITS UNRIDABLE, IF I COULD EVEN GET THE LOCK OPEN. PICKED IT UP AT RIDE ON 2 YEARS AGO.



IM NOT PICKY, I JUST WANT A NICE LIGHT CRUISER TO TOOL AROUND TOWN IN, LOOKING FOR ADVICE BEFORE I GO BACK TO RIDE ON. COULD DO A USED, NOT REALLY BIG ON THE WHOLE SWAPPING OUT PARTS OR HAVING TO DO MUCH MORE THAN PUMP UP THE TIRES.



ALSO MY BITCH IS LOOKING FOR A BMX TOO.

I picked up a Federal Function 24.

It's a larger framed racer, which is a fair bit more comfortable to ride than a standard sized frame. Retails for a little over $700.

I'm very happy with it, I'm actually working out a new paint scheme for it as I'm getting a custom job done up on it.

I think I'm going to go flat black and completely murder it out.

hey you should go check out ride on @ main and 17thish. i've got a friend who works there who would probably be happy to hook you up with a wee discount on a new ride.

are you looking for a bmx or a cruiser?

[rawb]

i went to ride on for my last bike and they were hell of great, so unless there are suggestions to the contrary ill go there again

ill rpobably get a cruiser as that was my last bike and im a LONG RIDES kinda guy, but im interested in other people's opinions of how they like to ride and if im missing out on some crazy fun with a big bike

i def miss my bmx now that she's stolen but honestly hadn't gotten up on her since buying my road bike. if you are into long rides it makes no sense to bmx. get something that's faster and practical to go across town on. it's more FUN to go FAST and you don't look like as much like a monkey. if you are just going to seawall, then ok fine... bmx or cruise your heart out.

thanks for the links, you're awesome

i have that road bike frame still and im pretty set on building it out into a complete single speed/fixed bike now to try that out, but a bmx is my comfort level and i'd at least like a bike to fall back on. also, bmx's are crazy exercise and i want to spend this summer keeping my cardio up.

i guess the HELP ME TURN MY BOX OF PARTS INTO A ROAD BIKE thread is about a month off.

i rented a cruiser when i went to buy a bmx with jim this week, and i felt like an old person. i dunno its just too casual for me.

also jim looked like a homo on the cruiser.

[starbright]

i hear you, bro.
it was quite an adjustment for me at first and bmx's are tons of fun.
anyway, two bikes > one.

if michelle is not as die-hard as you, or inclined to get two bikes, she should come over to my place and hop on miyuki (my fixed gear) to test her out. or i can switch the pedals back to charlotte (my 10spd) so she can ride her too. my guess is that she will prefer a road bike over bmx. it will also keep your cardio up as she'll be riding circles around you. :P lastly, i'll have a girl friend to learn fixie tricks with!

GUSTO
NO CRUISER!

michelle does need a bike this summer, but i dont know how she would do with no/limited breaks. BUT WHO KNOWS.

gusto smaller bmx's are great but seriously i dont wanna be a 24/7 GARGOYLE POSE (my wheels spin enough on a 24), unless there is a better reason to get one than SICK PEGS BRAH
