Poor Compe BMX

Hey your bike is not poor i like it you should to not everyone can afford a good custom bmx bike when they first start bmxing. This is your first bmx bike you are learning tricks so i said it a good bike just buy parts when they break also take off the reflecter it will look better. I think you still have a good bike everyone had a stock bike once in a while.

Thanks KidZappy!

Yes, I have to take of the reflectors, but seemed to be all one with the pedal, I will check again...

Funny story, in my country they have come with this law that make the bike shops to give you a "security" kit, it includes, mirrors, reflectors, lot of them, a ringer, and back AND front light xD

The first thing I take off of the bikes are those ugly reflectors...

Looks decent, just change the seat angle and bar angle and would be dialed.

Thanks

How would you adjust the angle of the bar?

I did adjust the seat angle to the same as tt

Make your bars the same angle of your fork.

It keeps you riding and thats priority. Ride that thing with pride

Looks good man! on the bar position subject thats all personal preference, putting them at the same angle as the forks is a good starting point but you might find you like them more back or forward. i personally line them up with the forks and just nudge them a hair forward.

Thanks a lot!

I adjusted the bar, and it feels good.

I was trying to manual, I still can't make my mind to lean back more, bit I will get it...

Any help to avoid the urge to pedal to bring the front wheel up? I just can't make my stupid body to think and not push the pedal :/

Just some more pics... I guess the bar is OK now, I lowered the seat cause it was killing the inside of my knee while I'm riding stand up and no pedaling...

Keep it like that.

Thats a sweet bike, i like it alot. Dont worry about not having good parts, you gotta start somewhere right? Hope you learn some good tricks man, i am a beginner to, you'll get good, just put time into it thats what i need to do aha

I will

Its clean dude lovin it

i would ride that! tbh it looks like a custom

Thanks a lot for the kind comments!!

Start with some new black wall tires, then it will really look like a custom bike!

Do you think some black tires will make it look better? I was thinking in a blue stem for it, an animal front load in blue (is the cheaper at 25) and the merrit crosschecks grips in blue and some blue pedals maybe? I really liked the gum grips and pedals, but blue may go better with the bike...

Yes. Blue parts and black tires

How much would affect me the front load stem? The bars will be a little lower won't they? That's better for the bike control or it would be worse?

I'm still learning how the bike reacts, how to turn, make it do what I want, slow progress, slow progress

Just. Ride. It. It is a good bike. The only thing to change would be a stem. Just get a odyssey sexton in black. Those tires are great. Just keep it all the same.

I usually need a knock in the head when I get into something... I get obsessive with things... So, I think your comment is a good stop for my stupid "buy all you can" addiction...

Thanks a lot, I will get the grips and maybe the pedals and that's it for now, will replace as it breaks...

Looks good! Gt is a great starter company. Expect your pedals to be replaced VERY soon, like maybe within a week you may notice them cracking. My recommendation for new pedals: stolen thermalite pedals if possible. Your sprocket will probably be next to go, but that is after like a year of a lot of riding. Everything else, pretty quality parts. Enjoy your new bike!

Great looking bike. Save your money, replace only what you break, or what you need to to make it fit you better.

Yes the grips are a must, the stock are horrible, too hard...

And the pedals, I always break them and aside from that the pins are all crooked already, and I haven't spend much time on the bike, I study 5hs and work 9hs so there isn't much time during the week to break them like that lol

Ok, I can't with myself so... Here is a pic... Still waiting for the color to dry... Is a transparent green.

Holy crap that looks good.
