haro and specialized suck. specialized is prolly only good for racing, but i broke so many parts on my specialized, and my forks looked like i was riding a chopper. I'm not a heavy rider either. Haro is just over-beefed, so everything is real heavy, and its generally of a ****ty quality. if you want decent ****, pick up a dan's comp catalog (
www.danscomp.com) and grab some FBM, Kink, or S&M parts. the S&M dirtbike classic is an awesome complete bike, for a price comparable to most haro/specialized trash.
