I was looking at a new bike to get and i was looking at this one and i want to know, what are the pros and cons of buying this bike? Any comments would help.

What do you want to do with it?

DiamondDave

To be honest, i would just use it to commute. I thought it would be good because its cheap and a race bike which to me means faster. I am kind of a noob and know very little about bikes.

DiamondDave

well i would use it to commute around town. i thought it would be a good choice because 1 it was cheap and 2 it was a race bike which meant fast and light, but im kind of a noob to the bike scene so any comments help me.

Don't mean to crush your bubble but you're gonna be told that bmx commutes are not the way to go.

DiamondDave

i had been thinking of that but i dont like the mountain bikes and i would never be going very far and i love the looks of the bmx bikes.

I thought you have just bought a used bike from a friend, an 03 joker. Wow in that case if you want another bike and can say that an 03 gt mach 1 is cheap then you must be rich.

One more thing just to reinterate on "New members, read this first" by Brian the "New Forum Janitor" I will show some highlights of what he has posted.

"Before you post a question, try using the search function. Several times a week, someone starts a thread that goes something like this - What bike should I get?"(Brian)

*Kinda sounds like you don't it?

"If you can't find your answer in an old thread, go ahead and start a new one. But please remember to state your budget, the kind of riding you want to do, and if you're not in the US, state your location."(Brian)

*I would understand more if you don't have a bike already and if you weren't from this country or if you actually sat back and tried to learn, instead of picking our brain for free knowledge.

"Remember, a stupid question will most likely get you an equally stupid response."(Brian)

*well said, Brian.

*Even I read this post to make sure I respect the moderators and the seasoned guys or women here and I just joined like 3 days ago.
