Ok...I've been out of the biking loop for a long *** time...but want to get back into it. Where do I start? I need a new bike, cuz my old one's A. old, and B. rusted to hell. Here are my options...







There are more, but I don't know what I'm doing...so...does anyone have any suggestions? I wanna keep it in the $150 to $250 range...so some one, help me.

 

I have the F4 actually. Little on the heavy side, but it's a tough bike. Haven't broken one piece in two years except the sproket and crank. Mind you my rims are a little bent, I need new hubs, the rear brake cable is crap, and my chain is almost dead. It is pretty well balanced for manuals and it's tough enough to withstand alot of grinding and smashing.

Here's a few dirt jumping pics...

 

Get the haro. Great bike to start learning on. tough. reliable. good name. Redline is an alright bike, but they are more of a race type bike. I don't think much thought was put into strength from them when they designed it though. I can't tell what the bottom bike is for sure though. I work at a bike shop, and we definately sell a lot of haro's.

 

i have a standard ill sell you it needs a bolt for the sprocket and a couple spokes but it is a sturdy bike

 

I would go with the haro. i have had a haro for about 2 years i liked it alot but i just wanted something new so im gonna get a new frame.
