BMX - Need some help on choosing a bike.

I'm looking at two bikes, the Haro X2 Low and the Eastern Rammrodder. I'm not sure what the differenece really is. This is my first bike. I want to do Dirt/Street. Im 5'10 and 170 pds. All help is appreciated :D Thx.

the Eastern is honestly a better bike to start with, but you'll have to swap parts after not too long. same with the Haro, but Eastern has a pretty good rep.

Eastern has a horrible rep. Neither bike will hold up to you and your weight. You need to spend a bit more if you want your bike to last more than a few days.

My eastern is holding up to me and im 210lbs

all of their parts are decent and cheaper than a lot of other brands. and theyre almost the same.

How do you come to that conclusion?
''They're almost the same"
Just interested in how you came to that.

it just allows you to start out cheaper and still put decent parts on your bike imo. but probally not by anymeans as good... just gives you a decent base. I mean if i had the cash i sure wouldnt be riding an eastern. i just got a hellofa deal on mine... Just try to get a 100% chromo if at all possible(the x2 low gives you this atleast).. spend the few extra dollars if you can...

Maybe something like this:

Wow thats a deal

yea id go with that.

and back to the eastern parts. i dont break a lot of parts, so i usually go for the cheaper ones, like eastern, that will hold up for a while. i usually just wear em out before i bend or break em.

well guys thx for all the help! I acctually didn't get either of those bikes lol. I ended up with a Fit Pro park. pretty sweet! http://www.staff-bmx.com/store/bikes/fit_8propark_n.html I got the teal one :)

Way too over-priced in my opinion.
Doesn't even have a full cromo frame.

well it as cheaper than that
