I'd pay 300-350. bikes dont hold their value to well, sad but true. I like free agent my friend from school hasnt had any problems with his, any bike you beat to death and not mataine will die over time. I say get it.

It looks to me that its a race bike so it will be light, I wouldnt ride street with it but you could probaly ride dirt and such.

If you have ne more questions my yahoo s.n is mxjunkie69 and my aim is bmx4life346 :)

Mxjunkie, i have msn :/ but i do have some questions. Its gonna be ridden street and dirt, sometimes at the skatepark. Whats the big deal with riding it street ? I really need this bike, if i dont insure my car. And i dont think he will go any lower then $450-400, ill talk to him tomorrow when i go see the bike again.

Remember these are canadian prices.

it really depends on what u ride...personally i love freeagent and haro(and others to) if ur guna race buy the limo its a good deal if it is in good shape. its one of the lightest bikes on the market...if u jump anything its **** the frame will crack right away. but w/ the parts it comes w/ u wont have a crank problem, and its an all around awsome bike for racing. hope i helped.

Remember these are canadian prices. do not buy this bike u can get a bike for street and dirt that will do just fine for that price. it is meant to race not jump or ride rails w/. the frame will crack and eventually break. get a hellcat or flying fortress (if all ur looking at is freeagen) they will be a lot better for ur riding style than that team limo will cuz if u ride street or dirt u r just wasting ur money. i repeat it will break.

he shouldnt have a problem riding it at trails and dirtjumps, but the wheels and such they use on race bikes wont take the abuse street riding dishes out. I have alex tripple walls, 3 wall rim, and I bent the first pair I bought, over jumped something and flat landed BAD lol

They are almost 600 dollars, soo in canda thats alot of money, they are badass bikes though, hopefully I'll have one next spring :cool:

They offer a pro and expert now for the s&m, one has tripple walls the other doesnt and a few other misc changes.

In bmx racing they do 20ft doubles etc, the frames arent going to crack unless you flatland the HELL out of it over and over again for a long period of time. :ermm:
