Hi ive been researching freestyle bmxs and i found out 2 good options either a diamondback 2005 orion and leave it stock 4 $590 (AU) or a http://www.deanwoods.com.au/store/prod520.htm and change the chain ring, handlebars, put on an sst amplifier braking system and maybe change the wheels and i might still come up under $590 so which do u think is the better option or suggest something else if u reckon their both no good cheers in advance oh and im 5,4" 50 kgs and 15 years old mainly for street and park and a little vert and dirt. :beer:

the specs are crap, but it says it has a 15 year frame warranty, and a 5 year component warranty

and dose the warranty cover street and park type riding, some warrantys consider that abuse, and abuse is ussually not covered in warrantys.

Am i gonna get a vote for one or the other or you just gonna mock the low brand?

Well, neither of them are particularily good, but since I've never even heard of Learsport, I can only imagine that it's worse.

So, go for the Diamondback, I guess.

Ok the no-name was a crap idea but what about the eastern sequence or the dk six pack?

In that case, go for the DK.

Running 2 brakes is over kill, unless your riding flat land.

Oh i was just wondering, if front brakes are over kill then i guess the specialized fuse 3 is in the running too and maybe a haro mirra flair
