there is a bit already written on this subject. but i hate it when people strike my new forums down.... so i will tell you to buy a reign x. its what i finally bought after i was done being in the same place you are. but if you want some pre-written info, search this topic or the reign x. you'd love it.

please dont buy a norco. i'm sorry. i have had friends who have them and the are heavy and not cleverly designed and the wear out or snap. and this may just be me, but they dont seem to fit me right (the a-line and the 6) oh, and im 6'0" 150lbs.

don't listen to him ^. anyone who knows anything about bikes would never suggest a haro.

yeah, they're great if you like cheap bikes with halfway decent components and a frame that will be junk by the next season just from doing 3 foot drops. trust me, dont buy a haro unless your bmx'ing and even then, tread softly.

see not every bike fits every person.... my a line fits me better than my stinky does... so those comments are irrelevant

no, there are many other bikes i like a lot. i just dont like haro's or norcos. for the few bike that i actually have first hand experience with, i'd say those two are at the bottom of the list.
