Hey Guys,

So I've been out of the game for a few years, and am looking to start back up again. I was checking out complete kits and it seems like Kink is pretty reputable for theirs. Ive been looking into street/freestyle bikes, mainly the 2015 Kink Whip Hamlin and the 2015 Kink Liberty. Both seem like solid choices, but I've also checked out a few WTP and Fit completes as well. My Price range is between 420-500 and was hoping for a little insight into what you guys feel would be best. Not looking to do anything crazy, mainly just rails and street riding. Would appreciate as much feedback as possible so I can get riding asap. Thanks ya'll

Yea I didn't get that eddi. But the Subrosa letum looks dope sunny_d. Seems like the reinforced tire walls and lhd option would work really well for my style of riding and hold up nicely. I'm in between that and the Kink Liberty at the moment. The Benny sig is a little out of my price range. Appreciate all the feedback guys. Keep it coming

Kink and Fit make the best completes out in my opinion. 2nd best are Subrosa and We The People.

Honestly can't go wrong with either company, spend as much as you can(that way your not upgrading it the first months), and pick the bike that best suits your needs(grind right get a LHD complete and vice versa) and then get picky about color. in that order.

Agreed with that, Kink & Fit always sold pretty well at the shop I work at, so did Verde, and lately Cult.

Subrosa completes though never really impressed me personally, last years models were pretty shitty but I just checked out the 2015 models and it seems like they're getting a lot better though
