BMX - I hate to ask a n00b question but...

I'm wanting to get back into riding. It's been a good 10+ years and I'm not in the shape I used to be in (imagine that). I have an old generic bike that I'm going to fix, but more then likely I'll soon be shooting for some air time again and I don't think my old ride will be able to handle me (6'0" 220lbs). I'm looking at a couple of used bikes but could use a little guidance as far as price and such. Looking at these:

Mostly I'll be riding casually until I get into better shape, then maybe some jumps, etc...

Opinions?

Thanks

Get the Holmes.

They are kinda close in parts...

Seeing as how he's 6', he should be getting the Holmes, not the Dirtbike. The frame will fit him way better.

Haha. Beerman, you make me laugh.

dirtbike that holmes lookin flimsy

Dirtbike the Holmes looks older than me!

I emailed the guy about the dirt bike, haven't heard back yet. The Holmes is out, I just looked it up and it's a 9 hour drive away from me. :rolleyes:

Have the person mail it?

Haven't heard back from anyone yet, what about this one?

Ask for more info on it. If I had the money, I'd buy it myself and sell the parts individually. Profile cranks = $$$

STA frames any good?

STA = Standard... and yes, they are pretty decent. Many do not buy them though because they are so expensive and there are lighter and better frames... but they are good.

Cool thanks, hopefully I'll hear from the guy.

Bah, he sold it. Found another one though. Based on a Joey Garcia frame? Hoffman bars, etc... If I don't find anything local I think I may get a DK 6 Pack or Cleveland.

Buy it.

Buy it.

I emailed the guy, couldn't find anything out about it here on the forums with the search function.

Probably because they stopped making them about six years ago. There's only one guy I know who still has one of those, and half the riders around here would stab him in the back for it if ever given the chance.

Cool, I just picked it up. :) It needs some new grips and some air in the rear tire, but otherwise it's ready to ride.
