1st Post, Which Bike?

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours just reading posts on which bike to get and so forth. I couln't really come to a conclusion as to what to buy. I understand that everyone has their own opinion as to what bike or brand to buy.

Anyways....looking for a bike under 300 dollars, bike will for mainly for riding in streets for a 10 yr old.

Many mentioned on other POsts a bike from HARO F3......but i don't think i ever read how much it runs...went to Haros website and they don't mention prices....anyone know what the F3, F4 and F5 cost.

THanks...any information will be appreciated

DK Cincinnati, DK 8 pack or Haro F3

WHich of these 3 is better?

notice that perhaps some better bikes were mentioned but they go well over my 300 dollar price range

he said he already looked through a bunch of posts about which bikes to get so posting just list of bikes probably wont help him much...

I say Haro F5 or Poverty Buck 99
If hes 10 he probably wont ride it that hard and the Buck 99 has decent enough parts that he wont break them and for the price you pay its an excellent bike
