Hey all, first post here. I'm looking at picking up a DJ this coming weekend and my budget tops out at $750-$800. I have been looking at the Haro SR 1.2, but wondering if there are any better bikes out there in my price range? I would prefer single speed, but would consider geared if spec'd decent. I'm 6'0" 220, so I need a solid bike.

None of those bikes are in my price range new (The models that are still made). Very few DJ bikes in my area for sale. Been scouring Craigslist with no luck for used so I decided to buy new and upgrade later. Was just wondering if there were any other new bikes in my price range worth looking at.

Curious where you are jumping in Oregon?

Ended up going to a different bike shop. The owner was super cool. Ended up getting a 2011 KHS SJ 300 for $599. Will be here early next week. :D
