Hey guys,
I'm brand new to the site because I wanted to get back into bmx. So This morning I bought a bike from this dude on craigslist. It's an Eastern frame kind of beat up, subrosa handlebars, shadow conspiricy pedals n whatever. But it turns out it's a piece of shit. The chain popped on me on my first ride. There are a few cracks in the frame which I overlooked when I bought it because I was pressed for time.
So long story short, I need a new bike pretty much. That's why I'm turning to you guys. I'm 6'4, 200lbs and I don't know which bike suits me best right now. Way back when (2006) I bought a Haro F3. It's was really heavy and bulky and I just didn't like the feel. Total noob bike. My budget for a bike is around $500. I really like WTP, Fit, Subrosa, Stolen, and Eastern.
I'd consider myself an intermediate rider. I like riding brakeless. I'm not really going hard...I'm mostly riding to school and biking downtown Orlando when I can. Who can suggest a bike for me?
