Specialized p.2 vs Eastern Night Train

[Keelsy]

Hey,
I have been looking at getting a new bike for dj and street/park. Currently my two main choices are the 2007 Specialized p.2 or the Eastern Night Train. I was wondering if anybody knows how much the 2007 p.2 weighs, and if they are any good for riding park and street?
Also feel free to give me a opinion these two bikes.
Thanks

Hey mate personaly id go with the eastern Night train why? frame looks 100x beter comes with single speed, anodized hubs , hfx9 hydros and an internal headset. And the frame looks awsome!

Id go with the eastern dude.

Cant find any weight specifications on google, but all reports point toward the P.2 feeling 'heavy'

IMO Night train all the way, and yes, they would be a beast for street or park

Hahaha, you know that the Eastern is a 15kg+ bike you know :rolleyes:

If you don't need gears what about the p.1? There mad as bikes. I read in that other thread that there is no night trains left in stock so if you want one you might have to wait for a while or a find a store that still has one.

Good luck

Ahh yeah, but he only asked about the weight of the P.2....

My friend had a custom p2 and it was hella light. I'd go for the p2, the eastern is yuck.

I'm somewhat of a postwhore tonight.

[Callan.]

The p2 retails just under $1500 I am pretty sure. Potentially a sick bike!

[Subwoofa]

Get a night train you sped! Did you call ashy and ask them how long it will take to get it yet? If you haven't I'm gonna like kick you in the face or something..

[Kearsley]

night train looks good and it has good specs but its about 15 or more kilos

not sure on what the p2 weighs but it looks aight! and it has ok specs

[Keelsy]

Does anyone know how the p.2 goes on park and street?

[Kearsley]

if your doing park or street only then get the night train for sure but ss the p.2 and it will go well on park and street

[owen saul]

I have a P.2 cr-mo and i love it..
i have done a bit of work to it so it is not stock but i would not change it for any thing!!!
It rides so smooth, it is light and it looks great!!!
Go the P.2 all the way!!!!

Eastern Nightrain 26. Why because good quality parts for what you pay for.

[Keelsy]

Thanks for the help guys. I am putting a deposit on the Night Train this weekend if I can sell my bike.

you made a good choice!

P2's are good value for there money but the cromo version comes with horrible wheels! after a few heavy hits they wobble like jelly! other than that there a quality bike, the bars are also a bit narrow...

[Kearsley]

Yeah the p2 has really bad rims...

But the night train is really good value for money because it has good wheelsets, frame and bmx drivetrain. The frame is fairly small so it makes it good for throwing about and for doing tricks! The only bad thing is if your a bit of a weight weenie it weighs around the 15 kilo mark but thats mainly the forks that give it that ''extra weight'' so get some new lighter forks and you should drop a kilo or less then it will be a very very light and strong bike!

Good choice!

G'day jack,

Go 4 the night train its s-s-s-sweet, the p2 is mad to but the night train is better :D

[Keelsy]

I put the deposit on a black Night Train yesterday at school. I am really pumped cept I can't ride cause I have sold my bike and the Eastern doesnt come til the 2nd of July. So I am gonna be bored for a while.
