I could be wrong though - I've never made a BMX, and most of the stock ones seem to be made from waterpipe in China and cost about 300 bucks.
I remember back in the day there was a cool one that had an Aluminium front end and a cromo bolt-on rear end. They were cool. So were the SE bikes.
SE are still cool, which is why old school guys in their 30's keep paying AU$1000 for a Loop tail. But that's just silly. So what do you reckon about Redline's Quadmoly? They're not known for making cheap bikes, and for some odd (nostalgia?) reason I really don't mind steel over alu for my BMX.
