BMX - Wait or no?

Ok heres my situation. I got out of work today and had a message on my cell phone from the guy from the bike shop. He told me before that he could order the '07 Stolen Wrap. I was psyched about it and I put the $100 dollar deposit in for him to order it. The message said that he couldn't get the bike in until the first week of May. He has a 2006 Fit AM in the shop. I've asked about the bike once but I didn't really get many replies. I want a bike sooner than later but if I wait I want it to be worth it. So the question is, should I get the Fit or wait until may to get the Stolen Wrap. Or possibly get something else? Not the dk 6-pack

I know a lot of you don't like me but I still respect your opinions so please help me.

Thank you.

Wait for the stolen. The AM is ****

Wait.

Can you tell me why? The owner of the bike shop has told me nothing but good things about it. I know its his job to sell things but he rides to. He also builds custom frames.

Because it has one peice of cromo on the entire bike and it's a pile of junk?

What is the rest made out of?

get the fit.

American bottom bracket>Euro.

Crappy, low quality steel.

hmmm, mixed opinions, now it's going to get tough.

Word. Wait for the Stolen, it's much better. Good things come to those who wait.

Bottom bracket means **** all once you get it set up.

Cromo>**** compressed into steel.

You're so different now.

How? I'm trying to be helpful for once. People used to complain that I said "word" too much, so now I have to explain myself.

nahhhhh man.

When I was on my stricker the BB would go out on me all the time. It always felt tight and gross. Not to mention the threads are always ridiculous and if you mess them up it makes life miserable.

A steel frame would do just fine for what he'd use it for most likely.

How do you even know what I would use it for?

If you were good enough to break a hi-ten steel frame, you wouldn't even consider a bike with one, is probably what he's getting at. No offense. I probably wouldn't break one, but 400 bucks wasn't too much money for me so I got the bike I have, which has a decent frame.

So what would you say if I could get a warranty that if I broke the frame within 1 year, I could get a custom one built from him. Would it be worth it?

The 2 that say they are custom built were built by him.

wait

Ok, I just got an e-mail from him. He also carries WTP, Eastern, DK(I'm not getting the 6-pack) and Integral. If I ordered tomorrow he could have it in this weekend. Opinions?

I would still honestly go with a Fit. I have many friends that have gotten hooked up with fit flows and they do just fine, and they do things 100 times burlier than you will be doing for the first year.

Get something that will work that is cheap, and slowly replace items as you need to.

why not the 6 pack?, maybe a 4 pack?

I don't know. What is so good about it that everyone recommends it so much?

Edit: Nevermind. I'll search it.

get the stolen

How about a fit pro? Its in my price range. I could have it this saturday. What do you guys think?

I'm going for the fit pro.

the stolen has a casette

The Fit Pro is decent, but if I could choose all over again, I wouldn't pick it. The backend isn't chromo and that is coming back to haunt me.

Gotta love how people ask our opinion, then **** it out the window.

It always happens... people are stubborn and think they know more than us.

yeah, the backend is the only issue ive ever heard of with a fit. even so, it gives you a reason to buy a new frame after you learn enough stuff to break it.

Also, I don't really think that highly of cassette hubs. If you spend the money on one, they are okay, but for starting out I'd take a freewheel. They are much easier to maintain and cheaper to fix. I've gone through 2 odyssey cassettes before I decided to go with my geisha, which doesnt skip and pop and sound like you are running over a dead raccoon.

get the fit.


I would still honestly go with a Fit.

I asked for opinions, I got different ones.

You would still go for the stolen over the Fit Pro?

Just Get The Goddamn Fit Already!

I typed capitalizing each word. How cool is that.

Not Cool At All

do you know a lot of kids that ride bmx? if so, just piece together something good from the start with their extra parts. Economical and long lasting. It just takes a bit of patience and learning how to build a bike.

I don't know anyone around here that rides. Everyone skates around here. I only know people I used to ride with a few years ago in another state.

Not Cool At All

overused sarcasm tag

I know the secret, you can probably figure it out if you look at what's in the message box when you quote someone.

Hint: %

Nope. I don't see it.

whats the secret?

There has to be more lowercase letters than capital ones.
