Haha. How much does all that cost?

Nice! I bit heavy for my taste, but great quality build

How can 23 lbs. 14 oz. be a bit heavy.

Punx

Is that heavy for Flatland?

PRIMO22

I wish my bike weighed 23 lbs.

sweatpants

weight is a very personal thing. i've had a crankless setup due to a back injury a couple years ago-that was around 17lbs. For me, that was TOOO light, but it kept me on one wheel. 20 lbs is my magic number now, give or take.

sweatpants

and yes, over time, i think a lot of riders end up with lighter bikes. when i started 5-6 years ago, my bike was around 30lbs. going lighter happens over time. i'm pretty open about being a weight freak tho. less weight=less fatigue=riding longer and harder with less soreness. word.

but seriously, that Strowler is on point. I hear they ride very well.

PRIMO22

I know weight is personal. But I can get over soreness its not hard. But if I had the money to get new parts and make my bike light i would.

$600. My mom told me to build up a complete bike and figure out how much it would be. Easily over $1000. But she also said we could split it between my birthday and christmas and have me pay for a lot of it.

sweatpants

That's exactly what I was getting at in my earlier post, that over time (years), most people want to go lighter. I'm getting what ya'll might consider old, and riding everyday at some point starts to wear down a body. I can't always snap back to 100% the next day if I've ridden a whole lot the day before. anyways. idk

PRIMO22

And I see you ride flatland. You don't take a beating when you ride everyday. I ride dirt, street and park. After I ride I feel like I just got the sh*t beat out of me sometimes.

sweatpants

you haven't seen me ride
trust me, I get worked over pretty thoroughly.

Street rider

haha.

and to answer punx from like a week ago, im gettin the Failure Roseanne bars, the Eastern Forged sprocket, and the Alienation v2 freecoaster, which im gonna have laced to one of my older rims that i kept around.

PRIMO22

I hate you lol. I wish I had t5he money to get a freecoaster.

Punx

Freecoasters seem pretty cool.

Street rider

im pretty lucky to have the money. and im pretty stoked that im gonna be gettin one. now i just have to wait for that check to come in the mail.

fuzzbox

freecoasters are for wussies

Punx

I don't get why people buy freecoasters...is it because they can't learn how to ride fakie?

fuzzbox

So they don't have to pedal backwards

Street rider

not true. i spent 3 hrs a day for an entire week just riding up ramps and then going back down fakie, and doing 180's and just riding fakie, just to learn it.

i want a freecoaster because i think that it has its own unique style, and every rider can take it and make it his own.

not having to backpedal is just a bonus.

midschool22

Thanks. It sure beats the 30 pounder I ride for park.

Ok about freescoasters:
1. They are not easier than going fakie with a cassette, if anything they are harder.
2. They are nothing but trouble and i would avoid them.

CMcMahon

It's okay. He's going to go straight to hell for buying anything from that company.
