Bikes: A fat tire & a skinny tire & two others I loaned out

Hmm...tempting ideas. Right now I just don't have the mulah for a Komodo, & it will be a few months at best before/if I do. The two main things that appeal to me about a BMX bike are price & the way it feels for park-style riding. I'm looking around the $150 price mark for a decent used bike, maybe $200 at most (& there's a guy in the USAF base about 30 min south of me who's selling an 08 Spec Fuze 3 for $200 negotiable). And 26" is too big for me for park/DJ...I'm a pretty small guy at 5'10 150# & my MTB feels like it just wants to roll right over jumps. 20" feels perfectly natural because that's what I grew up/raced on, but the idea of slapping some 24" wheels on the Komodo intrigues me...

I'll probably still go with a cheaper BMX bike because I know if I get a Komodo I'll drive myself insane swapping parts constantly to swap between loaner MTB & personal park/DJ bike. If nothing else it will give me peace of mind knowing it's just a BMX bike & that's all I have to maintain it as. But maybe if the Komodo is still for sale around Christmas...

I just really want a Komodo. I'm beginning to think Ed has somehow brainwashed me!
