So I'm thinking about buying a bikes from letgo but before I do need help with identifying both bikes the first guy said the brown bike is a cult dak v1 or v2 which I try to look up myself to me it might be the cult dak but I want make sure I'm correct. Now the second guy says the bike is a primo I been riding bmx 2 years I know primo don't make frames just parts so before I buy one of them need some help.

The cult frame will have cult logos on it somewhere, and the model stamped into the bottom bracket. We need much better pics of any details or logos to be able to identify them

I can tell you right now that the one that is supposed to be a Dak isn't one. All the versions of the Dak frame have removable brake mounts, the bike in the pic has welded mounts. It's probably a frame from a complete.

I'd be inclined to say they're both made up of stock parts. There might be a half decent aftermarket part in there somewhere. But I wouldn't pay a penny for either of them

Well, without knowing for certain what they are, they could be anything. It could be a mongoose with shitty parts from different completes for all we know. You should save and pay more for a bike that you know is good. Both of these look like they'll be a can of worms if anything goes wrong

The first buy definitely appears to be more promising, but I too wouldn't pull the trigger on either. Maybe when the second seller said Primo he means the coaster? The rear hub looks to be rather beefy for a cassette.
Still, I agree with saving up for a truly better buy.

Ok I just ask him to send me more pictures of the bike like outside for better lighting and ask him to take a picture of the headtube and the bottom bracket. So I three more bikes first a untied recruit second a premium Inspired and a redline. The prices of the united recruit 125, the redline 50-75 the premium
Inspired 150

Besides the rear tire, the Premium actually looks really good.

So I did some research on the bikes the three I wanted is the black one still have to figure out what kind of bike it is. The cult Cc2 and the premium inspired those are closest to me local.

Primo made frames for a bit under the Integral name back in the day.
