buh i plan on geting the 09 models as soon as there released

With $500 don't get a freakin dk.
Get the Kink Roc.

word. stay away from DK with $500

wats wrong with the 4 pack or the dayton??

They way around like 32 pounds and you could get a Kink Roc that has 1000x nicer components and like 26-27 pounds and will feel 1000x nicer.

wat bout the stolen??

n are Dks really that bad??

They aren't bad. But I got my four pack used for $200 shipped. If I wouldn't have found that I would have gotten a kink whip. If you have the money get the best bike you can.

If you have the money get the best bike you can. If $500 + shipping is what you have to work with which bike in a 20.75" full CroMo streeter?

I was just looking at all the stolen's and this one has what you want.

Yea go for it. Right now you are looking for a starter bike. So don't be worried about exact specs get a decent bike and go from there. You will end up replace parts and getting new parts for the one you don't like.

buh i plan on geting the 09 models as soon as there released Why wait? All the research you do now may mean little when new models release. I am in a similar position as you and think I will draw the $ line at 420. The two I am considering are the Kink Transition w/20.5" TT and a Stolen Heist w/20.75, gusseted frame tabs and 48 spoke rear wheel. They both weigh about the same and and have full CroMo F & F. Once I figure out what TT length is right for my 5'9" height will determine the selection. I plan to not do any hard core trick riding, just have safe fun and hopefully keep my old bones connected where they are supposed to be ;). Anyone know first hand what the different attributes of TT length in my case are? Also at about 165 lbs is a 48 spoke rear wheel beneficial for me? I plan on jumping, but nothing crazy.

TT lenght is different for everybody. sometimes a longer TT can feel shorter, and maybe vice versa. right now i think mine is 20.25, and it feels too small. but ive ridden 20.5's that felt smaller than the one i currently have. it just depends on the angles and stuff. im 5' 10", and i feel comfortable with anything above 20.5. it just depends on your preferences.

http://www.bikeguide.org/guides/geometry/geometry102.php has the skinny on geometry.

But seriously, you're talking about two bikes with a difference of a quarter inch. Don't stress the theory so much, just test ride them both and buy the one you like better.

Yea go for it. Right now you are looking for a starter bike. So don't be worried about exact specs get a decent bike and go from there. You will end up replace parts and getting new parts for the one you don't like.

yea thxs man.buh if i order it from dans comp will it be easy to assemble my self?? n wat would u replace on the heist if u had jus gotten it or later on??

homie if i were u id go wit the heist.thats wat im guna go wit:)

wat would u replace on the heist if u had jus gotten it or later on?? Nothing. Ride it and if something fails replace it with a better part. In stock form it has decent parts and has a fairly light weight :).

oh ok thxs again haha.wat kind of a bike do u ride??

i got 2 questions.wat are spanish BBs n wat do they do??
n wats so good bout the smaller chainwheel becuz most bikes i see hav the smaller chainwheels now?? wats up wit that??

1. Spanish BB is just a different bottom bb nothing you need to worry about right now.
2.Smaller chainwheel= more room from the ground to chain wheel which helps keep it out of the way.

oh ok thxs again haha.wat kind of a bike do u ride?? Follow the thread :).
A SixThreeZero Mammoth. I've been crusin baby! LOL (see my Avatar). I am seriously considering that Heist now :D.

and the smaller drivetrain just reduces the weight a little bit more. and with Dans bikes, i think its really simple stuff like putting the pedals on, and the bars. and maybe something with brakes/cables too. do what you can, and whatever you cant do, take it to someone who can or a shop.

and please stop double posting. just edit. its in the bottom right of each post.

Oh I double posted too. haha

would it be easy to put it together my self?? or wat If you are half way decent with using basic hand tools and have some it's a piece of cake. Setting it up yourself will get you acquainted with your new ride and help you to know what/how to fix things when needed.

yea i wana assemble the bike my self...if i can lol:)

nd if i run a gyro how much more weight would it add on the bike??

If you're asking us all these questions, I don't think you're going to be learning 360 barspins anytime soon.
