quick question, until i get a new bike i`m still riding my mirraco and the chain keepes coming loose i keep re-tensioning it and it keps coming loose, what do i do?

Tighten it all the way and make sure the bolt is tight. Get a chain tensioner?

I went to the new shop today and they carry hoffman, GT, haro, DK, and eastern. they only had one or two of each brand so i rode one of each, of all of them i liked the eastern battery the most, the geometry was very comftorable. they said they could order other bikes form them so i`m looking at the eastern element is it any good? They also said that i could trade in my mirraco for credit.

Hookers and blow tonight!

Any Help?

look at something else, you'll regret buying an eastern

I've heard from a few posters that Eastern should be avoided. What about Premium and Colony?

Which one? I've heard that they are good bikes.

good, but expensive.

not to sure what i think about colony at the mo, some of their stuff seems scetch, but their completes are probably solid. Premium make very nice completes.

The bikes i`m considering from my LBS are
From Premium:
solo- http://www.danscomp.com/101001.php?cat=BIKES -349.99 LBS
duo- http://www.danscomp.com/101002.php?cat=BIKES -429.99 LBS
from Eastern:
element: http://www.danscomp.com/101557.php?cat=BIKES -449.99 LBS
out of these three which do you suggest, i`ll be riding street and vert.

oh, sorry to double post but its a shorty.

either of the premiums would be solid.

Fuzzy knows. If you can drop the extra loot and are tall or still growing go with the Duo.
