i like the backend sprocket/pedal slides make the paint look haggard. but none the less its really ridden and i like the DK seat.

Ya i got a 03 Free Agent hellcat, that thing is a tank. i also have a 05 nyquist r pro. i dont c y ppl say its heavy that thing is light plus it comes stock with really good parts so ya, great buy

That is a really cool looking bike.

why would you put good stuff on a haro?
A. becuase its a nice frame (4130) (6lbs) and its just nice
B. becuase im saving up for an S&M Stricker
C. becuase some of the parts either broke or suck (like the cranks, seatpost and grips)

i ride a FreeAgent Limo and a Kastan expert xl

just got new schwinn automatic trails, brilliant bike recommend to ne1
an i got a gt vertigo that im currntly planning to repaint, rechrome etc.

I ride a wethepeople dardevil 2005 model and i love it

i ride a haro cozmo, yeah i kno im a newb but i have alex rims, mirra seat, maxxis ringworms, and a dragonfly fork that i hope to install soon as soon as i find out how to install a new fork, to help me out look at the other thread "taking out a fork"

2004 Haro F3

2001 GT VFR (is Dyno/GT the same company or something?)

it looks like crap, it got stolen, and painted, and i tried to paint it... but I really suck at painting, so the paint is uneven, and a ton of the parts of my bike are red (paint color)

its a shame to see such a good bike (for the money, i got it for $157 from wheelworks, floor model) look so bad...

heres a pic, all stock:

I cleaned up the crankset a bit, and that wheel is GONE (My friend skid on it, and the tire combusted for a second or two)

also, its crazy light

Even at $157, that isn't a good deal.

i am riding a haro zippo in dire need of a tune up :(

Are VFRs that bad?? I thought these were pretty good bikes... this thing flies (I don't use it for tricks, for racing)

GT Dynos, in general, are that bad. They haven't been good since Lord Voelker was on the team.

um i know this is a HUGE bump but i got bored and this shocked me.

S&M is one of the most AMERICAN companys out there so this made me stare when i saw this...

S&M seats are made in the Republic of China (Taiwan).

opps. my bad


then why are they like AMERICAN parts are the best and "american bike company" and there seats are made there?
are they made by VELO like some other BMX companys seats?

Because producing tires, seats, and other small parts in America will lead to the products costing more for the same, if not lower, quality.

it says on the s&m website that they are made in asia because the factories specialize in seats or tires, so it is cheaper for better quality

There is nothing wrong with overseas production. Regardless of where something is made, there are generally one of 2 criteria in the production contract. Either it's made to a certain standard, and price is not a concern, or it's made to a certain price point, and therefore to possibly lower standards. Quality is sometimes sacrificed a bit on some items to keep the cost down on a bike. Seats, tires, grips and pedals are usually replaced quickly, so it's just as easy to spec cheaper ones. Plenty of road and MTB bikes don't even include pedals. As far as Velo, they manufacture for so many different labels, it's not even funny. Nothing wrong with most of their product either.

I'm new here and just want to say whats up and I ride a Thursday. It's a small company in Idaho that handbuilds there bikes out of cromo. They rock, I haven't found a faster bike off the line yet. If someone is looking for a custom steel bike I recommend looking at a Thursday. They just came out w/ a jumper, I can't wait till mine gets here, it's currently being painted. I think what ever bike you like the most is the best and don't support knocking someones opinions. enjoy the sport and ride on...

Anyone care to share what you ride?

i ride a Redline Single X.....lol all my friends call it the modded one...lol....i have about 800 bucks in a 300 dollar bike...her name is Kristen and i ride her hard...lol

If its cruising around town with my son it could be my 1979 SE Racing OM Flyer.....

If I am looking to ride a Bling bling ride, its the Nomura 24"......

If I want to be 16 again, I ride my original race bike from 1983-1986, my Robinson 24"

If I want to try and kill myself and get air or ride hard, I have a Haro Backtrail X24...Its heavy, strong and so far indestructable.
