So I decided to trade my paintball gun on craigslist. I've got three offers, and I don't really know what I'm getting into, so I can't choose from them very well. Any assistance?

1) ive got a specilized vegas with 3 pcs gt cranks. its like 2 years old but hardly ever ridin has a couple of small scratches but nothing major its in very good condition

2) I have a complete bmx bike. Its a Supercross Frame with Kink bars, V-Brakes, Brand New Tires, Wellgo Pedals, Big Cheese Forks, Triple wall front wheel, double wall back wheel, Snafu seat, Supercross Seat post.

3)i have a silver haro nyquist for trade.

Sorry for the terrible punctuation and such, I just copied them from the emails. All I really do know is that custom built stuff is better than prebuilt. This would lead me to go for the second one. Sounds like it's a dirt racing machine, though, and I kinda wanted to do tricks and stuff. Are the Nyquist and the Vegas any good for that? Is the second bike even made from decent parts? Like I said, I have no experience with BMX stuff. All I really know is roadbikes.

Thanks for the help.

Forget the supercross as it is a race frame.

Look at them in person first.

Agreed. Almost anything with V-brakes is for racing and will not hold up to stunts.
