What Hardtail To Buy ???

[Jake Bengston]

Hey,

I am currently saving for a hardtail bike to use for mainly Street and Dirt Jumps, I have 700 saved at the moment and 250 - 350 coming shortly, how much more will I need to get a fairly decent bike such as a STP1 or a GT Chucker or something around that standard? :)

Buy used, you will get so much more for your buck. apply for trading access, and check out the sale threads!

welcome !!

yeah thanks, I don't know if I will be allowed to buy a 2nd hand bike.

I will try and convince my parents to give me some extra money cause its my B'Day on the 22nd of June and I really wanna get a bike.

see what you like then check out some websites and see what catches your eye...

though, nothings better than check checking them out at your LBS:)

im about to buy a norco 250 which is perfect for street and dirt and retails for 1399, so check that out

G'day Jake and welcome to Farkin.

Please have a look around and you'll see there are forums for just about every possible subject. This one needs to go in the Part & Stuff forum. I'll move it there for you now.

Cheers
