you have to buy an integrated headset, and the correct size bb for your spindle and frame.

depends what kind of cranks you are running and what frame you get. your cranks have to be sealed if you get a frame with a mid or spanish bb.

what are the advantages to having a bmx bike? Less parts to keep tuned, easier to get in and out of house, cheaper and you can do a lot more tricks on them :bike2:.

true, but during the summer i probably ride my bike a mile or two every day to get to the pool and i might start riding my bike like 5 miles to school, is it any harder to ride that distance since there is only one gear?
