I really like the Daylight bikes, Chase carbon are unquestionably fast, as are the Meybo carbon. The Meybo stuff looks interesting. I love Yess bikes, but right now their factory's been shut down for a year, I think. Not sure when they're starting back up, but promising noises.

Value for money, the GT Speed Series are a nice package as an off-the-shelf complete with 2-piece cranks and disc brakes.

I like the standard, S&M & Laird bikes a lot, but I like steel - not a lot of people still running steel bikes on the racetrack.

Also, didn't realize how much more expensive BMX race bikes are than freestyle.
