you can pick up pashley cruisers fairly cheap on ebay but there few and far between these days as they dont make them anymore. they came with s&m pitch forks as std.

I always have my rear brake on the right too. I'm a lefty so prefer to have my good hand on the front brake for mountain biking On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:

i ride a big bmx myself, a 24" bike but it rides as well as most bmxs, its an ns suburban with rigids and weighs around 23lbs if that means anything to anyone, i love it but don't ride it much.

Think the only thing you can get confused with is, bottom brackets, theres load of different types and sizes (euro, usa, spanish, mid etc), i would say go on pinkbike but its a mine field of crap but there are good people that can help on there, have a search on google there are tons of bike forums. as for your front hub i can't give you much advice, but if you can't get it back together or you think its fooked then you will prob need a new one as spare parts are difficult to source unless its a common bearing. :) Edited by george91 on 28th May, 2010. |

Another option is the 24" single speed mountain bikes. Rides similar to BMX just a bit more comfortable. (But I am 6'8") |

I could probably manage about £200-£250. I am aiming to learn to jump better and also mess about with some street stuff. Hopefully I'll learn some skills I can't do on my current bikes On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:
