sorry about the spelling. but when i searched all i found was someone complaining about how they got ripped off when a guy sold him this bike.

What's the spec on the Flair? Or do I have to go look it up on my own?

Ok, I checked the website. The Flair seems ok to me, except for the fork/front wheel combo. They may have saved a bit of weight there, but sloppy kids are going to bend that axle quickly. Other than that, it seems ok.

i was trying to find out if any one had this bike because i can get one for 160 including shipping. then im gonna get odyessy hazard lite cassettes, slambars, shadow conspiracy sprocket/guard new chain and tires...

Can't go wrong for $160. Unless it's stolen, or someone is trying to rip you off. It's got a lot of good spec, good frame design too. The only weak point is the fork/axle combo. Oh, and the poo colour. But you can get it in black, if I recall correctly. The brown is just too poo.

heres the thing...your talking about the '06 flair, im talking about the '01. :lol:

Oh. That is correct. Hold on.

Here's (http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Bike_BMX/product_75072.shtml) what you're looking for.

Cheers.

thanks :) now i know im saving alot on the bike, but the upgrades will bring it above 420.

That's approaching the cost of a new one.

That's approaching the cost of a new one.

but those are pretty much top-notch upgrades.

if i were you i wouldnt go below 13-36 gearing beacause your chain will rub on your brakes...which means you dont have to buy the cassettes. You could buy the ody. rims with the f/w hub and buy a 13t freewheel if you want to save some cash. Thats what i run(the freewheel) and it fine.
