Hi guys im looking to buy a new bike i had a cheap walmart one that bit the dust when i tried to do a crank slide and the cranks bent and the sprocket just folded. the bottom of the frame was pretty bent too. So im looking at some bikes in the 300-400$ price range the ones i ahve been looking at are
-Mirraco blend 1*
-Supercross mission
-Stolen Heist* & wrap?
-2hip soul*
-And eastern element*(still pretty pricy)
-specialized fuse 2?
-SE Quadangle pro?
-integral slauson*?
i Have put an "*" near the ones i like and a "?" near the ones i didnt have all the specs on or i wasnt sure if they were any good. if you could please put a suggestion and a reason or the specs of the ones i got a ? next to that would be great
---EDIT----: with your help i have narrowed it down to these bikes and have found some specs
