what are good bmx bikes

[dmh bmx]

hey what do think a good light bike would be for 200-400$

[Street rider]

you dont need a bike to be light stock. it just doesnt matter. you'll end up breaking things and swapping for lighter parts, and ditching stuff, like brakes if you buy a stock bike that actually has em.

[dmh bmx]

What do you mean

[dmh bmx]

what brand would recamend

[ascend]

i really like Research bikes, there's lots of other threads about them already

[dmh bmx]

Research bikes never herd of um

[Street rider]

just pick a bike on some online shop that has features you want. eventually you will make it lighter with newer, better parts. it happens to everyone. when i bought my bike stock, it weighed 33 lbs. i got rid of the pegs, brakes, put some new bars on, smaller drivetrain, and thinner grips. i cut my weight down to 27.5 lbs. just get used to it and drop weight as you go.

[dmh bmx]

that s reely cool i have narod my bike choicis down to the we the people nova bike 08 and the stolen brat bike

[dmh bmx]

what do you think

[Street rider]

neither.

[dmh bmx]

realy why not

[dmh bmx]

i was looking on dans comp

[Street rider]

theyre both made of hi-ten garbage. you need to read the specs and look for 100% or full Chromoly. that goes for both the frame and forks. and look for sealed bearings like BB, Hubs, and headset.

[dmh bmx]

look on dans comp

[Street rider]

yea. it gives you a bunch of specs right above the picture of the bike. read those.

[dmh bmx]

yea go for it.

[wethepeople]

cool. haha

Only one thing I told you was true...

[Big Red]

nay i wasent happy with my gt

Wow you really convinced me lol.(im a sarcastic dick ) But seriously, i've been shopping around online & checked dans list. I haven't found any other brand that offers chromoly frame and forks, 3 piece crank, front & rear brakes and a gyro for $200-$300. I had a GT Performer & that sucker was tough. I rode it around 20 miles a day for several years with little maintenance (hard ridin). I ask cause that was over 10 years ago & i was better at trickin on my buds' bikes. It was slow & heavy - could've been the old school heavy mags. What's so bad about GT? No one on here seems to like them but the specs make them look like the best deals around.
