Hey,

I'm new to the sport, actually I'm not even new yet. I was wondering if this was a peice-o-crap bike or if it is okay for a begginer.
Any and all input is appreciated.

http://www.jeepbikes.com/topside.htmlIt's a safe bet that if it's branded by a company that makes motor vehicles (ie: Jeep or Honda) it's garbage. That said, your bike should last about six months tops before it breaks or rusts out. I'd look into getting something with a Cro-moly steel alloy frame instead of the Hi-Ten ( otherwise known as High Tensile) steel. What you've got there is just another X-mart P.O.S. painted up with a car company logo. Your best bet is to return it or wreck it and get something like a Haro Backtrail - inexpensive yes but a solid bike to start out with.

Thanks a lot! I don't want to buy a bike like that. Could you type in a link were I could look at one of these?

some kid at the local track beat me on one of those hondas. So they must be an ok beginner bike.

Hate to say it(well, no I don't), but it's almost all skill involved there.

Hate to say it, but Dain just dumped up a thread from 2003. Could someone please lock this?
