probably willing to spend up to 500 not sure how long its going to last. we all used to ride and sold out once we got into motocross. now its just hard to find time before dark after work to get to gether and ride our dirt scooters and wheelers. we just figured if we could meet up after work with something that we dont have to trailer around plust get a little more exercise while doing so. ive had my eye on a few FIT bikes.

http://www.danscomp.com/products-BIKES-Subrosa/102012/Subrosa_2012_Letum_Dirt_Bike.html i like subrosa to
& what a lot of people dont know about fit, is that its lower end S&M parts with the stamped fit bike co. the difference between a good street riding bike and dirt riding bike, is the rear end. dirt, has a longer chainstay. street has a shorter chainstay for spinning and rotating. its kind of an awkward feeling jumping on a street bike. if your good enough you could still ride street with a dj bike.

theres nothing different about fit and s&m there just in the same warehouse.

dont buy off of danscomp. go buy a bike from your local shop. there the ones who helped bmx get big. the online stores dont care about bmx. support the people who support you.

Not sure where you are located in PA, but this guy is a big supporter of BMX and has great deals and can get you what you want for a good price.

I used to ride a Trek. Three piece crank, pitch fork. Worked good for me. I dont even know if it was a good bike.

Not everyone has local bike shops like that. And if cult wanted to do something about it they would only distribute their products to local shops, forcing kids to buy from them.

yeah we dont have shops like these because on online stores like dans comp... thats were every little single kid shops. but if everyone that road bmx would buy from local shops then all these ****ty online stores would be gone simple as that.

And you would be paying more for your parts. Simple economics.

i ride a DK kavant, 9/25 i think, hollow crank, elcat seat, khe folding dirt tires, odi grips, and some light weight bars i picked up from the local shop, its usually brakeless but been thinking about throwing the gyro and brakes on it since its been seeing a lil park use here and there. plus letting your buddies ride your bike when they arent accustomed to brakeless doesnt always go so well.

before long ill have to get some rims,i have to true the aliens almost every 2-3 rides.



which ever bike you get definetly swap to the KHE dirt folding tires they are amazing, super light snd they work everywhere, ive had no flats yet either(6 months).
