Son's dream bike

I was honestly curious, it just seems like you are getting a lot more per dollar in a mountain bike. Surely the profit margins have to be higher on bmx.

After reading what they posted up to justify the value, it totally makes sense to me. Exotic materials = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Thats a nice bike. Everything seems to have sealed bearings and cassette hub, your kid knows whats good.

I don't doubt that the profit margins are much bigger in bmx bikes vs. mountain bikes. I know jack about mountain bikes but I do know that a good road bike will make a $700 bmx bike look like its free. It's all about how fast, big, or insane (by today's bmx standards) you want to go. I personally have broke more bike frames, cranks and random parts to know that I will pay for the good stuff....everytime. You have to pay to play.

I used to have a white on white Hutch Windstyler. I think I was in 6th grade when I got it. The grandparents splurged for Christmas that year. If I remember correctly it was between $600 - $700. Man I still miss that bike.

In 8th grade 2 guys stole my bike and a buddies when we were leaving a pizza place. They had huge knives. The guy that took mine pushed on my stomach hard enough to cut my shirt but luckily not cut me.

To the original poster. I have a race bike with a good 1500$ in it that used to ride when I raced. One off schneider chromoly race frame, bombshell forks and wheels, answer carbon bars, and a whole 3 boxes of spare parts that I'd let go for 500$. If I remember correctlu its a 20.5 top tube.

That $500 bike will do it faster than a $200 bike will.

All you need to do is work on one of those shitty Wal Mart bikes, then work on well built Redline and you'll understand why the Redline costs more....

The more expensive bikes are better quality and ride much better...

cranks, frame, brakes, etc.... all are better on the Redline

I was sponsored by Kink, S&M, Allied and local bike shop in my late teens/early 20s. I have a Kink Revision B with about $2,000 in parts in my closet. I miss my bike and I need to ride her more

I used to roll one of these, fucking loved this bike, got stolen from school in Irving, gay.



Why is that Redline so expensive?

That's old school !! Eddie Fiola style !

No PK Rippers in the house?

I had several PK's and one ripper back in my racing days.

I just picked up this Floval Flyer in Indy this past weekend. SHould be here in a couple weeks
