Dont get a BlackEye.....they suck. They have some cheepo casstettes, and horrible quality.

Id say go with a DK, Eastern, Intregal or Fit.

30 pounds is slightly heavy, but for the most part, an average weight for a BMX bike....:)

[mitch91]

Thanks.

What about a volume?Hoffman?Rockstar?

[416exfreak]

Volume is ok, Hoffman is a no-no....rockstar is a relatively new company...and until i hear some good things about them, i wouldnt get one....

Go with one of the brands that i recommended....

Volume, Fit, Kink, Eastern, DK, 2 Hip, Stolen, Intregal, We The People and Colony are all very good, high quality bikes...

Go with a bike made by any of those companies, and you shouldnt have any problems!:)

Good luck

i would stay away from dk. my friend had a dk frame and folded the chain stay and seat stays. 30lbs is a little heavy for a dirt jumper but if you also ride street youll want something that can take abuse so you gonna add on a few lbs. i have not dealt with 2-hip, stolen, intregal, or colony so i dont know about them but every other company is top notch. i also highly recamend standard, if ya got the cash they are really pricey:macho

Really?...i had a general lee that lasted a good while...i never had a problem with it....and beat the hell out of it the whole time...

DK sucks, Stolen sucks. Get an Eastern, my bro has one and its one nice riding bike.

Stolen is a good bike, you had a lemon....the heater is awsoem!

[standardryder]

FBM is also a good company.

I got the 07 Getaway, its heavy feels like a tank and its not smooth feeling. You know what I mean?

[mitch91]

Thanks for the replys.

I dont have to much weight so I want a lighter bike. Does anyone know what my diamond back used to weight around? i thought it was pretty light.

[quad2xtreme]

My wife's son had a bike that was 27 lbs and he said that was very average...I think it was about a $400 bike. He has a new one that is about 23 lbs he said which is night and day lighter than the old one.

I would research this out before buying if I were you. Most people make really bad decisions getting into such a hurry to have crap in the shed. Don't be a sucker...do your homework. Patience is the key to success.

[WhiteYFZ]

go with eastern. and 28-30lbs in average for a stock bike.

Yes Stolen is a good bike i have the heater. In the past ive had a easteren AOS, Fit Team XL, Dk genral lee, and now i have the stolen heater.


If your looking for a good bike id go with integral, eastern, stolen.

My friends has the integral belair. I think this bike is a lot better then mine. almost every part on the Belair in Primo and they are really good parts.


You should get a bike based on what type of riding you do.

Man, same thing I was thinking, what happen to all the bikes that were around in the 90's! I still have my Robinson Pro with Redline flights 3 pc crank, bulldog breaks, araya rims w/crupi hobs. Dam I mis those times.

Honestly, I remeber my set I rode best on was a Hutch frame, landing gear forks, no brakes, gt bars, 1 pc crank and a uni seat. Ica ould jam on that thing!
