Finally got a Haro DJ frame (26") to build up over the winter, and interested in getting into the sport of BMX. I know very little about the sport, and not completely sure where to start. I custom build mountain bikes for a living, but never dealt with BMX...ideally, I prefer to buy a complete bike, since I am unfamiliar with components such as fork, frame, cranks, wheels, etc. I will spend most of the time in skate parks, and I am 5' 10".
I am going to put some names out there, and if anyone can give me some suggestions on where to start. My budget is around $500 or even $600. If I can custom build a kick @ss BMX bike for less, even better. Most mid-range BMX frames are over $200 alone (Hoffman Mantra/Dekko/Condor/BAMA/etc.).
...and also if anyone would be willing to describe their BMX setup and list some bmx specific online stores so that I can get ideas on where to begin.

- 2007 Eastern Ace of Spades Atom Series 20" BMX sale $530
- 2008 Hoffman Dekko AL 20" BMX -Iced Lemon/Industrial $520
- 2008 Mongoose Shield Team BMX 20" Bike $600
* am very well aware it will take some time for me to transition from being a weekend warrior to a bmx rider.
Hope to hear some suggestions.
Thanks,
