Heya,
I am looking for a bike that I can purchase ~300$ for a full setup, however unsure if the bmx cruiser is the style I am looking for. It will probably see ~5km/day of riding through city/suburb streets, and will take as much of a beating as I can lash out on it (lots of misaligned (relative to the rims) landings, sharp turns, and attempts at random stupid tricks that I can never pull off)
I am NOT into bmx, I will most likely never do the tricks, and its not my reason for the bike, I just want a sturdy bike with quick acceleration (24" vs 26" ^.^) that can take a beating without squealing.
If you think this type of bike is for me any suggestions? I am 6' and ~165lbs, so far what I have gathered is I want a long TT length and a full chromoly frame if possible. (Yes, I have looked on google etc. however its mostly 20" bikes and not much about these cruisers). Any help appreciated (also, if buying online, is Danscomp.com the way to go?)
