Hi,
I'm looking to get a freestyle 20". I've been looking at the Haro Mirra 540 and the Specialized 415 bikes (FSX and such), and was wondering if those would be good choices. If there are other brands that would be good for me to consider, please let me know. I'm looking for strength in the bike, weight is not important as long as it'll hold up.

All info will be greatly appreciated.

Cool, thanks. How about Kink bikes?

kinks are really quality, but the price has always been a problem for me, i really like their geometry

It looked like you were naming the bike shop brands off so another option for you would be the mosh Brass worm series. If your going fo rthe mail order cheap scene I would look into DK they have an awsome deal going at Dan's right now on the General Lee, complete for like 200 Other than that I'm a huge Standard fan, I've been riding an STA and a Trailboss( now the 250) for about 5 years now... love them both.

good luck, take your time! if you spend the money fo rquality it will definatly last.

My friends WTP (We The People) Thrilseeker is a awesome freestyle bike !

Try it if you have a chance

 

[centromachetes]

Wow, thanks for all the info.

So are the bike shop brands any worse or better than DK, S&M, et al?

I saw another thread about frame geometry, and how a slack head tube angle and long top tube are good for newbies. The 415 and Mirra bikes seem similar, 74 degree head tube and 20.5 or 21" top tube, and 14.33 or so chainstays. I can't seem to find geometry specs for DK or S&M, though. Does anyone know where to find that info?

Thanks,
John

Oh put 2HIP to your list excellent bike geometry + good price...

If you are weight consicous you can get 2HIP Pork in aluminum rather than steel.

I checked out their site, those frames look really tough.
