In MTB, top of the line jump/street/freeride hardtails are noticeably nicer than the "good deals" or "high value" bikes....
for example, an Endless rides much better than a Scab, but the Kona is still a reliable frame andcan be built up to ride very nicely.
So, is the same true of BMX? is a Fit or some sweet frame a much better ride than say, a Volume?
i am going to get a BMX bike soon, and i know that cutting corners with wheels and cranks and pedals are a bad idea, but what about frames? Is there more to it than simple "pimpness"?
whats so great about a Standard or a Fit? Is it wieght vs strength? Frame Geo? Tube quality? Are they worth the extra cash?
thanks
