Built my last bike during the pandemic, when there simply weren't any affordable parts available. So everything on it is top-of-the-line. 😂 It's a solid $2,000 bike any day of the week and I really don't regret it. The quality is just so awesome. It's just so smooth. I love it.

[@x88868]

Same here. I built two top of the line custom BMX.

[@MrFroggy29]

Same for me but i buy a old Verde Bmx, and i restore all It s very fast and light bmx

[@completefemboyr.n.g1308]

In August of 2018 i bought a new old stock 2012 Virgo FreeAgent, it was $299.99 and i bought it on a tax free weekend. I rotated the tires two years ago and replaced a bottom bracket bearing twice, considering i road it through snow and rain every day i consider the bike a win.

I snagged one of those 100 dollar curbs before they sold out. Went to a kid who needed a new bike and sold it to them for the cost I paid. No markup. Solid bike especially at 1oo bucks

[@stevencase3289]

any complete over 400 that has less than a trimoloy frame and a sealed double wall rear and a sealed front hub is a rip off, people are getting screwed over these days

[@johnsheetz6639]

It's been that way since the 80s as far as I know. When I was a kid all I can afford to do is look through the bike shop in window. A lot of bikes for 2 to 300 in 1985 money. Even worse I remember skateboards being $170 way back when I'm 47 so bout 35 years ago

[@allenburchfield8128]

Just out of curiosity, are you affiliated with kink because it's kind of odd that every argument made against those 5 bikes were all initially a kink you fall back on. Not that I disagree with you because you made tons of honest and fair points, it would just carry a little more weight in my opinion if you showed a little variety in branding because surely kink can't be monopolizing the 450-600 bike market lol. Appreciate the time and effort put into the video nonetheless and now its time to see those top 7 you mentioned. Cheers.

Diamondback, skyway, Dyno. Those were the days when bikes looked mean. The new geometry helps kids do tricks we didn't need help doing and they look kinda wimpy tbh. Like Bmx bikes for 5th graders.

[@crudd3no]

Wow this is disgusting. Can't believe a company like Sunday would compromise safety and quality for an extra dollar... then have the nerve to charge even more for even less smh.

[@papi_dan]

If industry people aren't aware that they're ripping customers off, that's no bueno for anyone. Sad thing is, they know exactly what they're doing but they don't care cause their pockets are more important than ours. If people wonder why skateboarding has way, way more people making a living with it than BMX does, this is great part of the reason why. Brands are slowly turning into walmarts

[@bigchungusshooting]

To put into prespective, a 50ft storage container pre covid was 2k dollars, a shortage of containers due to things being held up in ports and what not caused storage containers to get up to almost 20k. With that being said that was a huge part in the crazy price hike. Simple economics also came into play with supply and demand. It wasny all just price gouging. $300 bikes shot up to $500 during covid. Everything is back to normal now though.

I agree the Sunday Scout isnt worth $500 bucks. Not when you buy a Subrosa Letnum for the same money. I do love my Soundwave V3. But I even have upgraded a few parts on it after getting it. Because eventually it will be my ramp & dirt bike. I havent decided if I will build a Kink, Cult, Fiend, Fit yet for street bike. I'm leaning towards Cult or Fiend

I have 3 bikes right now, technically one is my brother’s but he don’t ride anymore so I use it but I built one fully custom, dont rmember any specs on it but its the best out of the three. Second is a mongoose I got for my 12 birthday, changed the chain and cranks and grips and tires and took the brakes off, rides better than stock but definitely nowhere close to my custom. Third is also custom, my brother built it originally and since he stopped riding I broke the chain and got a better one, changed cranks and tires, and got new bars, overall this one is a 7/10 in my opinion.

[@burningatthetrailhead]

High tensile steel is less likely to crack. Chromoly has a habit of cracking os spliting around gusset welds and dropouts. You can put a high tensile steel frame on a frame alignment table and bend it multiple times before the steel gets "tired"

[@jacobgouchenour397]

But the high tensile like you said can be bent multiple times so it’s flexible and BMX as a community believes this is no bueno it bends easier than 4130 cracks or snaps

[@williamz7011]

Hi ten steel frames are fine until you start doing bigger tricks, then it becomes a hazard. If you're doing anything down a set of stairs, you're straight up gambling with serious injury. As a guy who used to cheap out on frames/parts, it's just not worth it. I've folded frames, forks, and bars doing simple shit like 180ing down a five set. There's a reason why zero pros run hi tensile steel anything

BMX is the worst in value. It’s all SALES SPEAK. Best value for money, is their response. The lower price bikes are aimed at a people buying for the first time. It would be great if they simply stopped flooding the market with tensil steel frames. You can get a full cr mo double wall rims complete from eastern bike for less than $500, Fly Bikes too, if you know what time of year to buy. Cult floods the market with mostly junk, even their signature parts like Heaven’s Gate bars, very second rate compared to Animal Foursome Bars. Quality difference noticeable. 6 years ago top 2:26 complete from fly bikes was $700 for free coasters & less for cassette. They too have lower quality entry level models. They are the ones in business, they must know what they are doing, they’re real target market is the mindless consumer.
