I'm looking for a cruiser. For now my 2 main options are a Mosh Method 3 and a Haro Backtrail 24. How good are these bikes? Any other options???

thanks..

I've got two Haro's and I love them.(a mirra and a SR1.0 bmx) I sell more of them @ my shop than anything else. They've really gotten their act together for 2K1(sidenote: they always did have great products before, but I think the GT/Schwinn situation helped them out alot, along with having guys like Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist all over TV and in video games....but thats another topic) I think that they're the best pre-built BMX/Vert/Street/Dirt Jumping bikes for the money. For a large company, the attention to detail is pretty impressive. The parts packages are right on, and like i said before, you can't beat the price. I beat the crap out of mine and i haven't had any problems. I've never ridden any of the Mosh offerings, so i can't comment on them. hope this helps...

It depends on what you are using it for. I would leave the Giant alone and go for the Haro if you are fixed on those two. The Haro is a street/dirtjumping cruiser that is over built for abuse. I used to have one but it was too heavy and I bought a S&M cruiser. one of my budddies rides a DK cruiser and he loves it.

I may get one of those instead because of the light weight and strengh all in one....but then again it's only good for racing and dirt jumping. I think you will need to think about primarily what type of riding you do and go from there.....D

Well I also think the Haro is overbuilt for me. I'm looking for a nice steel cruiser not to heavy 'cause I won't jump roofs and stuff (just the park and urban) that's why the mosh seemed nice. I'll look into the DK maybe...

thanks!

I would suggest you also look at Free Agent. They have two new cruisers for 2002 to bring there total to 3. 1 Dirtjumper, a racer, and a pro level racer.

if you want super sick and burly go to Gack BMX and check out the 24" Cannibal. I have been drooling over the thought of one of those for a while now.........
