no ink: ink: ink:

 

[bballboy388]

wow thanks lol.... im thinking he might wanna start looking a bmx bikes

 

[Evel Monkey]

He'll probably have to up it to $400-$500 minimum for something used.

 

[rpk1988]

Depends on what he wants on the bike. Does he wanna start small and build the bike up because I was ganna say go for the new GT (haha) or maybe if the new Gary Fishcer's are cheap go with that. Or he could just get a P.1.

 

[arboc!]

thats a bit more than $200

 

[rpk1988]

True but it might be a the "cheaper" range of dirt jumping bikes.

 

[arboc!]

yeah, im poor and im totally happy with the large amount of abuse it takes

 

[rpk1988]

Haha, nice. You got a P.1 also. I am waiting for mine to come in. The sooner it does, the happier I am going to be until I have to pay for it. ahah

 

[HippieKai]

for about $400 you could get a Trek bruiser just to start on.

Good call. Didnt Trek come out with a bunch of new stuff for this year?

He could also look at one of those giant STP bikes. There pretty cheap and have good dj/urban grometry.

 

[rpk1988]

O yea I forgot about those. I was going to go with one of those because the Large has a 23" top tube. But then I just decided to go with a P.1.

 

[arboc!]

did you get the size: long?

 

[scurban]

look for a used P-1

 

[rpk1988]

did you get the size: long?

Yup. My friend has a P.1 but its a 2003 and it has a 21.5 TT. I didnt want to get a bike that small so I was going to buy a XL Steelhead. But that goodness I did some research and found out that the new Long P.1 have a longer top tube. That will save me a whole bunch on money.

 

[arboc!]

thats what size i have too, works very well.

 

[rpk1988]

Really. Good to hear. I am stoked for it to come in.

[rpk1988]

Whoa, sweet. Thanks man. You can come across a good deal on a P. series bike everyonce in a while on there.

 

[Mattoid]

So did ya go for it?

 

[bballboy388]

Grab a Haro Backtrail X24 or DK General Lee 24", toss a 2.5/3" fork on it, a mountain bike stem and 2.5-3 inch riser bars. That's about the cheapest way to get a simple 24" and fairly strong urban /dj bike.

I was able to get a Haro for $200 and have an old '97 Z2 and bars and stem to do this. The geometry should end up being similar to most other smaller urban bikes out there.

 

[bballboy388]

awsome thats a great idea ill tell him cool

 

[dexter]

find a cheap frame used and then go to bike shops, run it single speed, get an old marz dj, manitou black, etc etc or a cheap rigid fork for now
