Alright, im sick and tired of my clunky, heavy, squeaky p.street. Its fun, but I need a lighter, more reliable bike. The Fall Guy seems perfect, but after I sell my Ironhorse SGS and the p.street, i should only have about a grand. A couple paychecks, and I'll have 1500, but it it really worth it? I'm not that good at street, but dirt jumping is my thing.

I'm lookin for suggestions for cheap builds or a cheaper bike. Preferably 24", but when push comes to shove, a 26" would be fine. Thanks guys

fall guys are sweet if i had the money i would get one. You can also look at the ns suburan 24. I would get the suburan because you can run a disc and normal wheel.

the fall guy is not a dir jump bike, its a techy street bike with steep angles. i would not ride dj on one, look for a dob or blk market instead. if u only ride super techy street then go for the fall guy
