I am going to get either a P.1 cro-mo or a1. Which do you think would be better for urban and a little dirt jumping considering that I weigh 120 and am 5-5? (I think I gave all the info you could possibly need) :)

I would go for the p1 cromo because it has a much better parts spec and the frame looks kickass too :drool:

Does anyone know what either of them weigh? Also, I was concerned about the 24" rear wheel. Is that a big deal?

the a-1 is around 30 lbs i dont know about the crmo. Dont worry about the 24 in the rear because this bike was made to run one.

Will the 24" rear wheel make it so that the bike pedals like poo like on my old Big Hit?

So was the BigHit, but it doesn't stop the rolling resistance of the 24" being an issue... although this is a street/jump hardtail, so rolling resistance is only a very small issue.

Would it mess up the geometry to put a 24" in the front, too? I know it would make it steeper, but would it be a problem.

I forget how close Ojai is the the ocean, but I wouldn't own anything steel near the coast. It'll rust like crazy near all that salt water. I just bought a P1 A1. I really like it, but it handles like a mountain bike, not super quick like a BMX. If you're looking for a big BMX go for the 24 in the back. It all comes down to your own riding preferences.

It really all about how you feel. I personally dont like the look of 26/24 wheel set up. How about the p. street has anyone ridden that?? How is it?

The P. Street is a dumb bike. The fork doesn't move and the bike weighs 43 pounds. Ojai isn't near the coast, about 30 minutes driving. Steel is fine here. I think I'll get the bike, see how I like it, and maybe but a 24" on the front. I have ridden one around in a parking lot before and it felt really good. I think I'll just keep it stock.

Don't scare the lad with a non-issue. There are many, many steel hardtails to be found in coastal BC, and no one's worried here.

GO with the cromo it looks sweet and should be great for urban and just a little more effort for djing but that wont kill anyone.

I decided I didn't want to spend 700 bucks on a play bike. Instead, I ordered a Rockhopper Pro Disc and I got a used 2003 SX. I can ride urban well enough on the Rockhopper, or so I hope.
