    I recently purchased this bike at a local shop for $300. I’m really digging it and have to say it’s the first stock bmx bike i’ve bought in well over twenty years. Being that i’m almost six feet tall I opted for a cruiser rather than your standard 20 incher this time around. Initially I thought this bike was on the heavy side, the shipping weight for this thing shows almost forty pounds. I think they’re a bit off, don’t think it’s that heavy, this thing is sturdy! Rides very smooth and feels strong and tight. I haven’t jumped it too hard yet (uh, i’m old and need to get my jumping skills back, lol) but I did hit a few and Diamondback Lucky 24 inch lands very solid. I find the components to be pretty nice considering the price. Three piece cromoly cranks are sturdy and will hold up to your punnishing ways, pedals are nice and wide to accomodate my size 11 feet. I’ve seen guys complain that the bars are too wide, not for me, 27.5″, in fact I prefer 29’s but these work fine and have a comfortable height. Brakes work great so far, would’ve like to have fronts as well, but they’re not a must for me. My bike came with Sun Ditch Witch rims, not the ones stated here. I love’m, they’re very sturdy as well, tires are so, so, but that’s an easy change. The real prize is the frame and fork! 100% cromoly and beefy. I prefer cromoly to aluminum due to it’s rigidity, if you bust this frame, your a freak!!! The welds are nice and clean, strong rear drop outs and serious downtube, not a weak spot on it. Same goes for the forks, extra thick and sturdy, i’m sure that accounts for it’s extra weight but that will work in the long run. Cool yet unassuming color combo of black frame,seat,cranks and wheels with olive green handlebars and forks. Overall i would recomend this bike to any serious jumper or an old dude like myself looking to get on a solid bmx’er and relive the glory days..
