WOW...could this be? A major corp bmx company making an entry level bike that is lighter and better specced than the equivalent from the small rider owned companies that you've been saying are better?
How could a small rider owned company even begin to compete at that price range with the majors who have huge budgets and so have access to better components and production techniques for less money, and who specialises in making entry level bmx's. Where as the only reason the rider owned companies have bikes that cheap in their range is because they're trying to look like they offer a full range...so they have to settle for poorer quality components in order to reach the required price bracket...the frames they offer at that price range aren't even worth upgrading either.
Like i said all along...for bmx's at this price range....the majors offer better bikes..they may not seem as cool to the 'proper' bmxers, but they ARE better bikes for the same money. End of.
