Thanks, Im thinking about just buying a neigherbors eastern, But Im not sure yet, I mean, I have too earn the money and I want too make the right decision, And this is what Im left with.

Pay $140 for sealed crank bb and arms
Pay $200 for a used eastern with money into it.

Ive been leaning towards the eastern, beings most people tell me Haros metal is junk.

I just like bikes .

I tried to do BMX, but I was not very good at it (I had a balance problem when I was trying), so my husband convinced me that my other bikes were enough to keep me busy .

Welcome to BikeForums, and don't hesitate to send me a PM if you have any questions.

I might find it a bit easier now (my balance problems cleared up), but I have 11 road bikes and one MTB to keep me busy instead!
