$400.00 | | Purchased At: | Capitol Bikes of Annapolis | | Strengths: | Invincible frame, very fast if tuned correctly. | | Weaknesses: | American bottom bracket, 1-peice crank (stock), very heavy (good weight for vert and trail freestyle, but not for street freestyle or track racing) | | Similar Products Used: | This was my first 20", was several years later followed by a 2003 Group 1 Haro SX Comp raceframe. | | Bike Setup: | Unkown stock gear ratio, heavy set tuning for rough riding, Haro Catapult tires, 1-pc american crankset. | | Bottom Line: | Good, very sturdy/solid beginner bike, I either recommend a better freestyle for more experienced riders like myself, but if you are on a budget, get this bike and gradually tune and upgrade it with custom parts. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$250.00 | | Strengths: | the frame is decent | | Weaknesses: | I have broken every part on this bike except for the handlebars and the frame itself. I have over 800$ into this bike now, and now it is a great bike, but the stock backtrails just dont cut it unless your a kid who wantsa cool looking bike | | Similar Products Used: | Many BMX bikes | | Bike Setup: | Odyssey Pro Dirt Fork
Alex Triple Wall Rims
Primo 3pc Crank
Shadow Conspiracy Sprocket & Guard
Primo Super Tenderizer Pedals
FSA Pig Headset
Haro Big Block Stem
Cut Down Haro Hi 10 7 Bars | | Bottom Line: | The bottom line is that this bike is NOT for the serious BMX rider...HARO has really downgraded the quality of the bikes they build, actualy unless you buy the top of the line bikes they make, they were never all that great. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$250.00 | | Purchased At: | Advanced Cyclery | | Strengths: | Great all around bike for beginners (like me).Very durable (it didn't warp the tire after a head on collision at top spead!) | | Weaknesses: | Its a bit heavy and small for a guy as tall as me. | | Bottom Line: | This bike can take any thing. I have smashed and hit and abused that bike to no end. The only thing I ever replaced were the flat tires that I popped...I also put a cheap front brake on it for more stopping power. The only problem is if your as tall as me, it makes you look like a gaint on a unicycle...imagine. I suggest the 24" if your a tall person like me. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$340.00 | | Purchased At: | Rays Balwyn | | Strengths: | solid, reliable stuff, nimble | | Weaknesses: | crappy cranks, weak brakes, what kind of tyres are these? supposedly a DJ bike, these are street tyres. pretty ugly. | | Similar Products Used: | Hoffman Dirt Merchant 2 | | Bike Setup: | completely stock | | Bottom Line: | Very reliable, solid stuff except for the one piece cranks. RIGID frame, forks felt good, agile, stable enough. nice short chain- and seat-stays, but needs a chain tensioner (i shoulda bought one, so its my fault really).
its not the best looking bmx in the world either.... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
