Hi, I just registered and this is my first post. There is so much information here I dont know where to start, thus Im just going to ask my question and let you experts tell me what I need to know...
I like the little "freestyle" bikes as I call them, or BMX-style, I guess? Litlle 20 inch (guessing) rims or so, bright colors, designed to jump and do tricks, that sort of thing... But I never do tricks, have no ambition to learn how, and just ride the freestyle bikes on the street to and fro, never using it for what its intended for... All the freestyle bikes Ive had only had 1 speed, and I am desperately searching for a little freestyle bike with more gears like a mountain bike, because I would really like to get in high gear and fly down hills and stuff, I want to go fast... I want the smaller, cooler (my opinion) look of sitting low on the BMX style bike, but all the gears and speed of the big mountain bikes... I dont want to sit up all high like the mountain bikes, but I dont want to be stuck in the first and only gear, either... Also the smaller bikes will load easier into my hatchback, if I bring the bike along on vacation, etc.
Can anyone shoot me links to such a product that it best of both worlds? Or does it not exist? I know I am a dreadful newbie and Im sorry if I sicken all of you with my newbie-ness, but this place is so huge I could search for hours and not be satisfied, can someone just tell me the information I seek? Thanks in advance for the help...=)
