Well, I've been grounded for the past 3 weeks, and while I was gone, I got a new bike.


https://www.sebmx.com/index-2004.html I got the wildman pro 04 model. (btw I didn't pay $500 for it, I paid only 250 )

Now when I went to the shop, I had never heard of SE bikes, so I was a bit skeptical, but when I looked at the parts compared to the price, they seemed pretty decent.

So has anyone heard of SE, and if so, how come I've never seen of them on the forums, danscomp, etc.

And did I pick out a decent bike?

SE was pretty good, about two decades ago. Now it's just your average Taiwan complete bike company.

edit: I've got to say that the rear end on that bike looks disgusting. Huge dropouts and a ******** design on the toptube-seatstay-seattube junction.

Go in and edit your link. It's got https:// in there twice. Use the edit function on the lower right of your original post.

Brian

Agreed. It's got Landing Gear, but it's no "PK Ripper".

CMcMahon

I wouldn't trust Landing Gear forks after what happened to Jeff Crawn, anyway. Being paralyzed is a b*tch.

Brian

Gotcha. Stick to the Uni fork for racing.

if i were to be doing any kind of riding i wasnt sure of myself about i would definatly be rocking some S&M pitchforks.

So is my bike crap for what I paid for it? If so, what other bike could I have gotten that would cost $250-275 that would've been better?

btw i'm grounded from the computer so i havent checked this in awhile.

Brian

Just ride it within it's (and your) limitations. If the forks are crap, get a replacement pair when you can. No bike is truly total crap. Except for Queensriders.*

*Not really, just wanted to see if he's following this thread.

Does anyone here remember a SE bike called the Basher?

Brian

Was that the Russell Crowe model?

Redeyery

I think thats a pretty tricked out bike but what do i know. My oppinion is: Its goot just by a better fork and that seat looks painfull, other then that its sweet.

mob

I dont think so... its pretty old. But then again, so is he. The Basher wasnt fat like Russel is. It was small, and I broke it in half when i was 15.

I could've also got the '04 mauler pro for $190.

Oh, and did I mention my bike's front rim got ran over? yeah my brother left it behind my dads car while I was watching a movie at a friends house. I don't know if the fork was ran over too, but it looked fine so I don't think it did.
