Ok, but this f4 is only 184$ complete.. im gonna upgrade rims and forks and bars.. bike has alot of potiental im just askign hows the bike frame gonna be? kuz im 6'1 220 lbs.. a lil bit chunky haha

[wethepeople]

Bike has no potential, the frame is garbage.

[live4muzic2]

you would taco everything on a F4.

EVERYTHING

[ridestreet]

seriously? im just using this bike to learn tricks man.. untill i can save up enuff money to get a real bike.. its either this or soem junk walmart mongoose..

[ridestreet]

i would taco? wtf does taco mean lol

[wethepeople]

Bend, seriously, this is not the bike for you. Somebody your size needs a full 4130 frame.

[ridestreet]

well **** man im onna low budget right now i just needa biek to get me by a cheap bike

[live4muzic2]

what the highest you can go cheap *******. just joking

[wethepeople]

Look for a used bike that still has a full cromoly frame.

[live4muzic2]

craigslist?

[ridestreet]

i dont wanna spend more then 200$ onna bike considering im gonan **** it up anyways from learnign new **** so 200$

[wethepeople]

So basically you ask how the bike is, we tell you it's **** and then argue?

Get whatever the **** you want then, but it's going to crack, bend and snap.

listen i dont have much cash right now my spending limit is 200$. im not trying to argue.. im just saying.. a haro for under 200$ thats been barely used.. is a hell of alot better then a mongoose. or some other bike for 200$ i would think..

[wethepeople]

You're thinking wrong.

Look for a used bike that has a full 4130 frame, and buy it. Even if you have to spend a little more then $200 it's worth it.

[ridestreet]

Name a few decent bike companys that have good full 4130 frames

[wethepeople]

Find a used bike, then just google it and find out...

Spend 200$ on a bike and destroy it instantly or spend 289$ or whatever it's onsale for and have it last.
