I think straitlines would look sick on that bike, and yes apparently it is an amazing bike, like comparable to the 303.

Meh, they are OK pedals, they do the job, but for the money just get other brands that have better maintenance, durability, grip and profile. OK pedals, just not the best for the price.

He's been riding for Evil for a lot longer than that. Don't get made at me becase you're wrong.

Pros riding a bike have nothing to do with how well you will like how it rides.

It helps them sell bikes. But because so-and-so rides a cetain bike, it doesn't make it any better for you.
