I want a complete DJ bike that's capable of street/park abuse. I want single speed, and 100mm front.

Bottom line, my last bike was the first Deity bike of the month for those who don't remember me. It was a well built Atomlab pimp2. Either way, I just don't want to spend as much to do a custom build so I'm trying to find a good affordable complete bike.

I've looked into Specialized P series (my shop carries Spec.), but don't like the cheaper components that I don't trust. I've looked at other brands but none seem to be speced as well for the price as an Atomlab Trailking as it's set-up pretty well, is light, and I can get it cheap.

With that said, what am I forgetting? Anyother brands that are affordable yet good? Maybe blackmarket, or something? Prefferibly a company that does EPs. (Yes I know, shhh)

Thanks!

Good call on the eastern! What are peoples thoughts on these? I seem to recall two years ago these were the bees knees but time has gone by.

And Eastern is in my price range and looks good, thoughts on the rims/cranks? I have no experience with Eastern.

Pretty cheap for a complete... best frame, good bars, stem, cranks decent fork... but only goes to a 22 tt

Eastern nighttrain looks good too... t-bird's alright too but parts- bars and rims questionable?

I say the steel specialized bikes are too heavy and the BB is too low. The aluminum version is/was better.

I would import a bike if I were you, the Brits have many more bikes like this to choose from. CRC has a bunch of different models from NS, DMR etc. $99 ship so prices are decent.
