We recently picked up 2010 eastern desist and wanted to fix it up for our 12yo son. We Upgraded to hoder handle bars, odyssey stem, odi grips, new upgraded seat and odyssey evo 2 brakes. Needless to say when all said and done we spend about what an entry level bike would be so now I'm torn. What in the end is a better bike the one we put together or a stock fitbike co long 1 which I can get on sale for about $320.00. He's just getting into bmx bikes because that's what all his friends have so not sure he'll appreciate the upgrades parts but is a new bike better?
