I ended up getting it. It needs some new grips, and some stunt pegs, but other than that it's pretty good. As was expected, it's pretty heavy at (on my bathroom scale which isn't so accurate) about 33 pounds. While learning to wheelie I kinda ate ****. Which would have been fine, but I had a half century charity ride the next day. I still did it, but it was a bit painful. Any advice for places to go to learn basic tricks? flatland, grinds, etc etc? And also suggestions for somewhere other than asphalt that's plausible to practice on so in case I do bail, I don't get too hurt? I'm still trying to teach myself to fall properly and not catch myself with my hands. The parks near me all have too tall of grass to really ride on and go fast enough to practice.
