You ****ing tell them.

You all are stupid, when i said get a Fit, i meant get the Fit Flow
Its the best complete on the market, i dont care what you say.

FuzzyRyder

I agree! Get the fit flow!

NICE PIC OF THE "ON THE HEAVY SIDE" CHICK!!

ok, i've looked more into the different types of bikes, and figured out that "on the heavy side" means i don't want a "race" frame, and that i don't want an aluminum frame.

also, I agree that Fit is rad, but can't afford a comlete one. so i've decided that i'll build one myself later.
for now, i just want an inexpensive complete bike.

has anyone heard of "AMX" bikes? i've been offered one for a decent price, but can't find any info whatsoever on the brand.

also, what do you guys think of Redline?

FitRider 921

I have never heard of AMX... and Redline sucks.

so, here's a list of bikes i've looked at, that i CAN afford:
Haro Backtrail X1
Redline Recon
various Diamondbacks
plenty of crappy-looking Free Agents

any comments on the above?

They use to suck until Mike E took them over.

Save up and get a fit, all those other bikes are trash. Or get a poverty buck 99 it would be good as a beginer bike. By the way you don't have to have the lightest frame in order to have the lightest bike. I seen some one with a STA frame that weighs 26lbs.

somnium

i've heard so many mixed reviews on Redline...
some people claim the new ones to have the best geometry..
others say they're crap
i liked one i tried out...
i am sooo confused now

eightdip

If Redline sucks, then why would Rich Hirsch and Tyrone Williams ride for them?
Also without Redline, we wouldnt have the 3pc cranks.
