BMX - shoud i get this bike?

a guy i know has a mongoose raf he baught last year he wants to sell it to me for 150 i am jsut startin to ride and i wanna know if i shoud get it. i think its a good price sense he says he paid 450. what do ya think?

i don't really know anything about Mongoose...but i do know that most people don't like them.....so ...i stay away from them,,,but if you want a cheap bike go with a Haro f1 or f2...or a Poverty Buck 99...whatever you want...your choice

mongoose is better than poverty. no sarcasm

There is so such thing as a Haro F1, and mongoose bikes are not bad bikes at all, I'm not sure if the raf is good or not but i do know that mongoose makes some very high end completes that are acctually better then alot of companies completes they put out. The only people that knock mongoose bikes are the ones that don't know anything about them, or bikes in general and they judge the company by the fact that they sell some very low end completes at department stores like walmart. That is just a way for the company to make money. It does not at all make the company a bad choice to buy a higher end bike from.

Where do you get the idea there's no Haro F1?

As far as the Mongoose, what are the specs? They have a nice, full cro-mo one with 3 piece cranks, and then they have some crap. Which is it?

idk but mongoose are o k for starters because there a good cheap bike and not bad............people jst talk **** about them because yeah alot of the bikes are ****ty[because the og mongoose got bought out] but idk the bike u said should be alright as long as it has a triple peice crank....full crmo frame......and maybe dub rims.........but id go for like a dk glee or the step up because they're a new bike and u have a good building block to start off of for mods

the raf is one of the better ones

like i said. i don't know a whole lot about mongoose but alot of people don't like them..and i am not talking about people that just feel like beating on different bike brands...i am talking about guys that actually have ridden, owned, and had some experience with mongoose.....

I own a mongoose. Nothing wrong with it

There is so such thing as a Haro F1

Where the **** do you get your information?
