Dude, I weigh 220 pounds. A bunnyhop is a stunt or trick that requires chromo for me. Hell, a fast sprint requires chromo. I'm pretty sure that I could shear off a bottom bracket on a hi-ten frame in a month or two just off of sprinting.
This is how little faith I have in hi-ten. Hi-ten is fine for my big amsterdam city bike. It is not fine for my bmx. And yes, lot's of kids wake up one day, realize they own an eastern and that they suck and decide to sell the bike. That is pretty common.
Can we just make this an eastern sucks thread now? Seriously, scooter bike much?
