hmm, well I dont know what I'm looking for in a frame, I guess I would want a slightly longer frame maybe 21, what are some good frames for lets say 200-250? or point me in the right direction?

btw what type of descent tubing should I be looking for?

The Fit Hawk is still on sale for $180 on Dan's. It comes in a 21". Get it. You just want a full chromoly frame. 4130 is the strongest I believe.

Don't buy anything other then chromoly.

I looked at the specs for the Fit Am i have, says its 4130 chromoly, can chromo be high tensile, i dont know a whole lot about bmx tubing?

I was actually looking at the fit hawk frame a few days ago, looks like a descent frame, maybe i will pick one up in a few weeks.

The Fit am has at best the top tube chromoly. It is a little kids starter bike essentially, short frame, and 90% of the frame is hi-tensil. Even the Fit Pro is a POS.

Are you saying just the down tube is chromo or the downtube is high tensil?

Either way I'm going to learn on that frame until I upgrade hah, took it to the school was just hopping down the 5 stair a few times, boy do my arms hurt haha using muscles I havent used in forever =P, oh yea and i ate sh*t trying to maual down my drive way hah.

yea i think its the DT thats chromo. sorry for the confusion. i havent seen an AM in forever though so im not sure on the specs. a lot of crap frames have just the DT chromo that it has the most strength on the bottom. i guess.

Doesn't make a difference.
