First, I want to thank all of you who contributed responses to my previous threads asking for help in making a bike purchase. This is my first BMX in about 25 years so to say that I was a bit out of the loop would be a massive understatement.
As I had previously mentioned, I am clueless about a lot of the newer companies, and am strongly drawn to the familiar names of my youth such as Haro, GT, and Mongoose. My main bike when I was young, was a Haro Freestyler, and I loved... I mean LOVED that bike!
After searching around, and debating whether or not to stick to a bike with 20 inch wheels, I decided to be realistic with myself, and know that at 40 years old, 6’02”/300 lbs, I am not going to be doing any jumps or tricks. I will be cruising. I know that I need a bike that is big enough to be comfortable just riding, and I don’t think a 20” bike was going to scratch that itch.
So, after all of the reading, and all of your help, here is what I bought....

I should have it by the middle of next week, and I am so anxious to take it for a ride. I appreciate all of your advice and look forward to hanging around here to learn more.
Big shoutout to Dans Comp for having what I needed in stock, and to this forum for being the first place that I ever heard of Dans Comp.
Now, anybody have any opinions on my selection?
