To preface, I rode at skate parks with friends as a kid but in no way would i call it riding bmx. Was more into bombing hills and parking garages on a long board. Well at 25 i have some injuries from my time in the military and can't long board the same due to bad tendons, knee pain and weight gain. The whole full lunge thing kicking off kills me eventually.
After a long 2 weeks looking into bikes and thinking I'll need a 24" cruiser that i can do street and maybe a little park due to my size and a 20" is too small blah blah. Which i will still get one eventually but I've officially decided and bought a 20" with a 20.75 TT, the WTP Reason '19. Thank you to @riderinblack and his Old Mans Guide for ending my search and being so informational for someone who hasnt had a decent bike since 2005, that was still 40lbs of steel.
I was gonna go with the trust on a deal from Albes but i came across a forum post on here about Dans Comp. And thank you to that person praising them because i found the Reason for 20% off on top of their $25 off coupon and free shipping. Which all of these things i appreciated. Instead of having to spend the 700 and more on the Trust and got the Reason for 430.
Did i make the right choice? I feel like i did for the bang for my buck aspect. Does my wife think im crazy? Yes. Is she pissed at how much i spent even after i told her i saved almost $200? Oh yes. (She thinks walmart sells good bikes and she's too stubborn to listen) I think i did my fair share of researching and even saved you guys the pain of listening to the same ole posts that just keeping asking is this or that good for me, when no one knows what I'll enjoy.
Lastly, does anyone have one? What issues will i come across with these bikes? Finding reviews or people in english that have them on youtube is harder than i thought. BMX is not as popular anymore it seems from what i can tell but fuck it.
I'll update this once i get my bike in this week. Hopefully there's no issues.
