looking to get a new setup, and upgrade components as i go.  Had the Premium deathtrap in mind, and sugestions on models or companies? I mostly ride park, and a little bit of street / trails

Currently have a 09 stolen cheater....absolutely no problems.

3 weeks of decent riding and it still sounds like a basketball!

Fit bikes are pretty nice, a lot of them are pretty light

SUBROSA's are built to withstand torture. they are not the lightest, but if your not worried about the weight, they are certainaly a good way to go

here's how you do it:

+
coupon code: CU59
=
375 shipped for a full chromo (frame,bars,forks) complete, sealed hubs, trendy and fuck plus light enough to toss around without upgrade much off the bat.

who has a cookie for me?



buy a full chromo frame (not just the front triangle) in your complete, at that level around $400+ you'll be getting a sealed wheelset and chromo forks and bars. upgrade from there as you need, usually forks are the weakest link in mid-range completes.
