Not sure about the exact bike you are looking at, but I own a GF Lush Rush and wouldn't dream of riding it at a skate park.

Mine is aluminium and came with 1 piece cranks and cheapo wheels. I have since replaced the cranks with Profiles and the wheels with DX/Mavics. Good for racing as it's reasonably light.

This one has a steel frame. I dont know how light it is though. Or what kinda wheels it has. I know its set up for free style. I also know that it has a one peice crank that i plan on replacing. Thanks for the info.

But it says "tool" on the top tube! :D

In all honesty, it's probably built in the same Taiwanese factory as most other big brand BMX bikes. I got it really cheap: $100 nearly new. Then I dumped another $350 for cranks and wheels... And it has an old Dean Ti post and Flite saddle I had laying around.

If it's what you can afford, then ride, have fun with it and don't develope an emotional attachment to it. Save your pennies and replace it when it breaks.....

Having fun is the most important part, not how expensive or pimped out your bike is.

I'm glad you're happy with your bike but for $450 you could have bought a better bike from the start and you wouldn't have had to think about upgrades later on...JMO....D

Probably so, but the wheels and cranks can trasnfer over to a better frame at a later date. The bike is still much better than I can ride it.

It's kinda moot as I never ride the bike since I built a DS bike... it's sad, I know... :( I just have so much fun on the 26". I get on the 20" and feel like I'm going to die.

sorry brotha but the pimp factor of a bike is quite a bit more important than having fun. honestly...some people just don't get it.:cool:
