so I recently sold my downhill bike, got a bmx as I wanted to try it out dirt jumping and while I enjoy it I'd rather have a bike I can ride around as a commuter so I found this

someone wants to swap it with my bmx. All I really know at this stage is its a shwinn. lol. can I change the stem/handlebars out easily??

Is it more use to you than your BMX? $329RRP in the US would put it about $400 here.

pfffft

it looks good in the pics though. lol I'll probably pass on it and keep the bmx

probably only more use now as i wanna bike with the missus around which is a bit hard on a bmx that i have to stand up on each time i pedal lol. But for what it is I'd rather hold on to the bmx and wait for something else at this stage. I believe i saw some better ones for the same price -/+ 350

I think the cycling deal for$299 is a lot better value tjan that. Reynolds cromo frame. Shites all over those reid,mojo, cell, chappeli trendmilking units.

good deal indeed. now if i get rid of my bmx ill probably get one of those

it appears i might still end up with this. lol from what I've reserached this is the 2012 model. with the flip flop hub and replaceable chainrings. cycleworld has it for 490$ thereabouts and its a month old. So not too bad I suppose. I just hope someone else out tehre wants to swap with me lol

Its still a hi ten POS IMO even if it is 2012 model. Why anyone would pay 490 for this as opposed to 299 for a butted cromo frame is beyond me.

i suppose I should add I'm not paying for it seeing as he wants to swap. lol. if I find any other decent bike that wants to swap with the bmx I'll get that.

got this off a BNA member instead.

Now I get to have the fun of building it up lol

also, could i swap the parts over from the schwinn onto the above frame?

You could, but you might run into some problems with chain tension looking at those drop outs.

by **LoveB** » Thu Aug 23, 2012 11:05 am

Thanks. Might swap for the fixie then sell it in Manila when I get overseas then just rebuild the road frame. But if the parts swap over easily lucky me. I'll just sell the frame
