Hey, I just bought a 2003 Specialized Vegas off of Ebay, I bought it only because I couldnt resist the deal, and I was looking for a first bmx bike. heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7224260710&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1 The only problem is that im not interested in dirt riding, I am interested in street riding, since I am still a beginner, will this affect my learning to ride street, and if so how? Thanks

Nah, That'll be good for you. There is a very subtle difference in geometry between a 100% dedicated street BMX and a 100% dedicated jumping BMX, but its very very minor.

Edit: I note that frame has cassette guard shapped drop-outs, so it's not 100% DJ either, there is some street/park influence in there.

For street just throw some pegs on one side and you're good. You may want a front brake, but many people prefer not to run one.

Enjoy.

Yeah, you'll be fine. I knew a guy that threw down on a Lavin riding street and park, but also tore it up on DJs. Those things are super versatile, they're awesome bikes.

Have fun on it!
