I've got a P3, and for a stock complete it is pretty dope, I have an 07, and the '10 and '09 are sick.
I haven't really ridden TONS of other DJ/Street stock bikes, but I liked the P3 the best; hence why I got it lawls.

Edit: I especially liked it because it came with a front break, so I can take it on an off depending on if I want to do some trail riding rather than just sticking to street/park.

make sure you get a steel bike. for almost any use on a DJ, steel is better than aluminum (ride quality, durability) look at the BLK MRKT Mob or the RIot if you dont want to spend as much.

true but its different chromolly is a high carbon steel u can get steel frames and chromoly frames tyhe chromoly frames are better because it doesnt twist like normal steel does as such it lasts longer and is more durable the steel is alloyed with chromium and molybdenum it makes it very a very good strength to weight ratio the only down side is its more expensive.

2005 Norco Team DH

or

Cannondale SuperSix

both are really good in the skate park, but the cannondale should only be used if you're really smooth. If you're a hack, go with the Norco. It's the best bike ever built imo.

o know you said you dont wanna buy a fram and build up, but buy a jackal, a truvanty wheelset, and some cheapo groupset (cheap in the strong range) and stick all that together. it is still pretty cost effective and best of all you get a jackal, well that my opinion

high carbon steel is easier to bend/ding or w.e, thats why high carbon steel knives can be sharpened on rocks n stuff, so it how much if would trust a crmo frame if it is high carbon steel....

the high content of carbon makes it stronger, harder and less ductile
