Good news
I think i'm possibly going to build up a bmx ( freestyle ) since i have the chance. I was at the skatepark today on my scooter haha, but yea. My friend Tristan who is insane like tailwhips, 360's, decade's, like anything you can think, is getting a Fit S3 Aitken frame, and he will sell me his Federal Hamilton frame for $25. He also has some spare part's laying around that i can buy from him, and then i can just add on new part's. What would you guys reccomend for a cheap but good fork, and just other part's. Here is a link to the frame, it's in good condition too. https://www.jykkjapan.com/federal/arc...d_hamilton.jpg

Nah, if the Hamilton frame is the same color as the one you posted put the oranage drive fork on it with some other orange parts and it'll be ace.

No i was thinking about the Kink Whip. The seat on it, could i strip it since it's a slim, then i could put the federal frame on that, which would be better though federal or the kink frame. If i got the Kink Whip i could put like $100 into upgrade's what should i do.

Don't get the Drive fork. The Drive forks have snapped all over the Guide for Bikes.

Haha. I don't know what to do. I need to talk to the guy what spare part's i can get from him. But if i can't get a lot of part's i'll probably buy a complete. Any reccomendations.

Eastern Trail Digger and do a frame swap if you want to keep it cheap.

Just wait with the seat and post, while it will get a decent bike it won't be perfect. I'm sure you'll be replacing parts eventually so be prepared. Thats just an idea to get you rolling.

Yea i understand. But i really hate the seat on it. I love pivotal seat's. I really want the Jim Bauer seat too and it's on sale. I have the extra money, plus i don't have to pay shipping again. But yea, do you have a reccomendation for a seat post. Also are lock on's worth it, if so which should i get.

Redline post, it's the cheapest pivotal and it will still hold your seat.
Lock ons are good for MTB's, they don't belong on a BMX.

Fly bar ends, I run them and love them. I haven't met anybody that doesn't like them, and they're dirt cheap. If you're talking about lockjaw type bar ends, don't bother.
Yes Dans has the post.
