    Hey...

    if anybody could help me... i have 500-600 euro to spend on a new BMX for street

    Ive been researching and have came up with WTP, Fly, eastern, Sunday with full chromo in mind!

    I've been looking at the WTP crysis or even pushing to the trust (beautiful paint job)

    I'd appreciate some advise/opinions please

    Not eastern anyway. WTP definitely good. No personal experience with the rest

    You can't go wrong with WTP, Cult, Stolen and Verde completes. As for Sunday, I feel they are a bit behind of today's trends. Fly is also good, but don't know anything about its completes. :/ I would definitely stay away from Eastern though!

    If you're trying to decide between he Crysis and the Trust, you will definitely get a good bike for your money! :)

    TBH I wouldn't go near any new BMX under about 400, so second hand is probably your best bet. Perhaps try asking around at your local skatepark.
    I have no idea why you would want a BMX for commuting. Get a racer/hybrid


  • Registered Users Posts: 569 ✭✭✭Peter T


    I was expecting second hand at 200. My commute is only a 5-10 min cycle max so iv no need for a hybrid. The problem is iv no idea what brands I should be looking for

    Try find a few you like the look of and post them up and we'll tell you the best to go for. Avoid anything with huge fat downtubes and large front sprockets. Try twentyinchparts group on facebook too.

    If I were to pick one, it would be the third.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,037 ✭✭✭shagman


    First or third would be the ones to go for, find out which model of Hoffman that is and look up it's spec.

    Does anyone have any experience with the United RN range? I was looking at this in particular; http://www.theboardroom.ie/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=512&category_id=17

    Any good for a beginner trying to learn flatland and some jumps?
