If you've got a working bike, just ride it. When I was thirteen I saved up my money and bought my first real mountain bike (a two grand Cannondale XC) that I still have and race now, a few years later.

My point, don't be a bitch and count on your parents to buy you a new bike (that you don't really need), get a job, be smart with your money, and soon enough you will have the bike you want.

well my bike has a crack in the frame fork and rims !!!!!!!!!! and my parents still say its safeEvil

wouldn't that make them just be like " let's buy you s new frame" and he'd use his old parts on it. anyways it took me 2 years to convince my parents to let me buy a bike.

or you could do what i did to get my bike

"taylor do the dishes"
"might be easier with a new bike"

"taylor put your tools away"
"i woldnt need tools if my bike wasnt shit"

"taylor clean your room"
"i cant clean my room, my bike sucks to much"

"taylor bring in the groceries"
"i cant my bike will break"

eventually i maded my parents give in
and plues i have straight As so that helped

they have seen me bike and r immpressed but think 2700 is too much even though im paying more then half they think a cheap bike will do just as good as the reign but i told them that the parts are gonna break and stuff because i do big jumps and drops how would a 2007 iron horse 7 point 5 work i found one brand new for 1800? but i really want the reign it has all the parts i want
