I have a Mole Yoro (yes, I know it's a ****ty bike, but I got it used for $50. I couldn't afford any better). it's got a longer, thinner seat than the original, hi-tensile frame, relatively tall bars, and no pegs. I often go to the bike jump park with it, but it feels more awkward than other bikes I've tried. any ideas for making it better?

it feels more awkward than other bikes I've tried. Probably due to the frame. Add new parts and you still be stuck wit that odd feeling.

seriously? crap. I was hoping a lower set of handle bars might help, but I don't wanna waste money on them before I know if they'd do any good.
