looking for a new bike... suggestions?
 

okay... i am looking for a decent bmx bike in the $500-$600 price range. gonna use it for basically everything. vert, flat, park...
my old bike was set up that way. the only problem is, it has the old brake mounts. i cant upgrade the brakes a whole ton. i love doing flatland, and no brakes are a problem.
i could go for just a new frame and forks, i know.
just... my bike sucks. i want a new one!
any suggestions?

Easy.


Stolen Score

Intergal BelAir(probably the best on this list)

Stolen Heater

Hoffman PL models

DK Dayton or 4 Pack (both alittle heavy by todays standards...32or33lbs)

Fit Flows(many models)

That should get you started in the right direction.

You need a front brake bike. Most "cool" completes are only rear brake. What is your old rig? It is hard to find a "good" complete that has a 20" top tube. A 20" top tube will let you be the most flexible if you want do do everything (flatland with a long top tube sucks).

This one is prety sweet. 20.5" tt, but it has good brakes and chrome rims. I do not know the $$$, but the model below it has chrome rimms too.

Standard :D

A FELT isn't even in the same leahue as FIT, Intergal, DK and Hoffman. Most FELT completes have pretty bad parts. They went the way of Diamond Back, Mongoose, Free Agent and GT(to name 4). That use to be great bikes, but now are over produced and lower end components.

The Chronic is MSRP at I think it was 300 some.

I would go with a Integral Bel Air. Those are really cool bikes!

I disagree with you a bit. Felt does make some good stuff. I really like their frame, the signature one Cranmer rides... looks real nice, and it's pretty cheap.

Felt also makes really nice racing bikes, my friend has one and its awesome!

i know a kid that races a Felt too...that bike is awesome
