im a new guy, looking for a bmx bike to cruise around the city with. I dont think ill ever hit up a track with it. Just trips to the beach, riding around the block. But i like my bikes light (which is why i like the FA), and to last a good while.
My budget is around $200 - $230
currently im leaning towards the Free agent, but i dont think i could go wrong either way.
What do you regulars have to say? Which is the better bike?
any help is appreciated. Or even suggestions!!! thnaks

If you are just going to be cruising around and not really jumping around and grinding and such, then pretty much any BMX bike would do for you... since you are on tight budget and it doesn't really matter which one you get, get the one that is cheapest...
