Hi , I'd really appreciate it if anybody could help me choose between the following bikes, I'm looking for something to do a little bit of street, nothing too full-on, I'm 6ft 3" and weigh approx 190lb, so I guess it's gotta be pretty strong.

here's 3 in my price range,

FITBIKECO AM - http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m10b0s8p3219

EASTERN BATTERY - http://www.onyerbike.co.uk/buy.asp?id=1218&bike=true

KINK GAP - http://www.alansbmx.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=5321

Thanks in advance,

T

The Pistola isn't to bad for the price, but it has horrible dropouts.

why the kink? it's the only one of the 3 that seems to have a freewheel instead of a cassette, aren't those better or are there other things that are more important?

The more chromoly, the better.

I took the route of not getting a full-chromo frame and I am paying for it. My backend of my frame isn't full-chromo and that just so happens to be the area in which my frame is bent and is about to crack.

I wouldn't want to be riding it when it snaps in two. :D OK maybe it won't be that bad.
