Been out of the game for years now and I was never all that good back then. Been riding road and track for a bit and just have this burning urge to ride bmx again.

Looking for something with a 21" TT and right now I'm looking at 3 bikes (open to others). Let me know your thought and/or tell me what you would do. Thanks brahs

Dude, people don't use craigslist in my area (I'm in southern Utah at the moment). Most I found was an Eastern that was too small...

...more

Wtp's bigger completes seem to be out of the price range.

Most definitely dig the Kink as well... Now I am also questioning if 21" will be enough on the tt. I'm 6ft with a 33" inseam.

I'd be doing all around. Probably street and park for the most part, but possible some dirt as well.

see if this code works for 20% off at Dans: 44M1

It expires 10/31.

That should help broaden your choices since you could probably buy a better bike but for the same price with the 20% off.

In 2012 I decided to buy a new bike after years off from BMX. I ended up snagging a Gary Young Pro model from Sunday for under 400 using a 15% off coupon. It was a great deal considering that bike came with a good wheelset, full chromoly frame, fork and bars as well as a good set of cranks and a few other goodies.

Also I'm 5 11 and ride a 20.75. It feels good but I wouldn't mind stepping up to a 21" whenever my frame dies. I think a 21 would probably be enough length for you but its tough to say because frame length is often a personal choice imo.

Go Fit or Kink. They're much better for the money. I will say that a 21.21 would be great. Or 180mm cranks will feel Gucci along with a longer stem.
