my dk is cracking at the seat stays so ive decided to invest in a new bike. i mostly ride street [nothing big] and some ramps here and there. i hardly ever ride dirt. im 5ft 7in and weigh about 130. ive been looking at stolen, eastern, and another dk. the eastern traildigger or shovelhead seem good. i also like the stolen wrap. i need good advice on these bikes. thanks.

dk fury. its an aluminum racing bike that kicks ass but just doesnt suit my needs. before that i had a general lee [one of the real ones] before that i had a banshee. the banshee was kinda like the fury but made of cromoly instead of aluminum.

go for that and i think first weekend of august dans comp has a 15% promo coupon + free shipping it's very much in your budget. i'm sure someone else will find you more options but that's a start.

If you want a new complete then definitely stick to kink, they make the best completes (know from experience). I have a friend who rides a stock barrier and its a great bike for the price and I have another friend who rides a stock kink whip and its pretty nice also. However its your choice on the bile you get but a kink would be your best bet any day or for a little more you can get a Fit Mac complete which would be better then a kink but the price is higher.

The Dk Cyngus is good, and the Helio above that. Personally I like dk, the first bmx bike i ever rode was a '99 General Lee, I'm not surprised the Fury Broke on you. its a race bike made from 6061 aluminum, it was never designed to take the stresses of stunt riding. getting some air off pumping a roll, sure, but not airing quarters and bowls.

Buy used and get a much better bike for alot less money, why anyone buys completes when you can buy much better for the same is beyond me

yeah i know its kinda stupid but my general lee got stolen out of my jeep. i allready had the fury so that was a logical choice. even though its aluminum its been a great ride both on and off street but now its time to get something else.

I'd stay away from Stolen. My friend's was absolute shit. He cracked his cranks, got them warrantied, cracked them again, blew ot his back hub, fucked his stem and stock bars, and bent and stripped his axle. It was awful.

only kink bikes are the more expensive 400+ ones. everything else below that is mostly Hiten, go Chromoly.
dk, S&M, Mongoose(higher end real ones from the website), Haro. you should be able to find something good from any of them for a decent price

Have a look second hand, you can get fully aftermarket bikes for the same price as a hiten complete

its the best way to go, everyone ends up putting loads of money into completes anyway so might as well buy one thats alrieady done
