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.
Same here. I built two top of the line custom BMX.
Same for me but i buy a old Verde Bmx, and i restore all
It s very fast and light bmx
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.
GT performer 93 since I was 10 sweet ride
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
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
Hello @dougsterbob do you still have the frame exel sheet available? or could I just get the information on the sunday nightshift frame? Thank you and please keep doing what you do
As a Walmart bike user I would love any of these but to much out of my budget.
As long as the wheels spin it's all bullshit how much they charge
Just save up and get a 3-400 dollar bike. And pretty much anything is better than Walmart bikes. Same with their skateboards.
@@MrBENTPIN really? Go buy a Walmart bike and compare it to a complete bike like the Sunday soundwave and bring it to a bmx part and see how stupid you sound.
@KennyVenegas-nt3gq read my reply champ. Never said there isn't a difference in quality. U can have just as much fun on a cheapo as a dear one.
@@MrBENTPINuntil the frame snaps and you get wrecked. saw wal mart bikes have welds brake just from watching people load them in their cars. Kink was always the best value before the pandemic for new school once FBM shut down ops. I would never let my kids ride a wal mart bike. ER trip in the making
Hey, Doug. Do you hand write each recommendation you send to people? Or are they automatically generated. Just curious. What goes into your recommendations? I appreciate your help by the way!
I got my first bmx I think its called wethepeople 2022 bmx and (cuz its used) I got it from $600 to $220, do u think its a good first bike for $220?
I just purchased a fly proton 21in tube, is that good? I’m a beginner 5’8 150lb
Just built up a vintage verde yeagle. All aftermarket minus the chain. New wheels, bars and stem. Odyssey forks, demo cranks. Lookin to sell it for $400. Is that fair? Can type out a parts list if needed
Hey. I have a GT vertigo in chrome. What’s it worth?
I love the 26 inch feel. Currently looking at GT Pro, Hoffman Condor, or SE 26in. What would you recommend ?
Ive been riding a Stolen Zeke for a few years now, its pretty awesome.
I bought a scout bike in 2021 and changed every part i could, but my front wheel is still from scout complete. Still spinning great and I wasn’t even cleaning it but i think it will break soon
So which full chromely bmx you would recommend to us? Thx Dougster
Kink whip for sure
What are your opinions on the Academy Desire? For me it costs £299.99 ( $370)
Dougsterbob I need help!!!
I've got my old-midschool Mongoose Villain. I think it a '98 based on pics from searches. The Green with yellow decals.
I need to start riding again cuz I'm 42 and started seeing chub. Wanna rebuild this or be forced to buy new cuz I'm bigger and heavier than I was as a teen. 5'10" 180-190lbs.
I'm looking at needing a seat, chain, repair breaks maybe, and the handle bars/clamp is stripped.
Im just looking to pedal around town ride some wheelies, jump off some curbs, and do some tail whips.
No more trash can destroyer type stuff, unless I'm 😳... But no! I have to not get tickets or jail and look stupid an old man getting in trouble. So no.
But jumps will be small no mad air, or anything cuz I'm a busted up U.S. Marine veteran on a budget.
Advice please.
Trick freestyle BMX bikes 🚲 are really fun!
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.
He is definitely getting kick backs from kink
I agree the Sunday Scout isnt worth $500 bucks. Not when you buy a Subrosa Letnum for the same money. I do love my Soundwave V3. But I even have upgraded a few parts on it after getting it. Because eventually it will be my ramp & dirt bike. I havent decided if I will build a Kink, Cult, Fiend, Fit yet for street bike. I'm leaning towards Cult or Fiend
Cult all the way
What ur thoughts on mongooses legion l 100 for 200$ n i am 6.1
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.
Can You Do a Review On 'WeThePeople Crysis 20' 2023 BMX BIKE Please and Thank you!
A 20ft one?! That’s crazy.
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.
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
I remember when a good chromoly redline cost less than a base level bmx these days. I will admit though, fit and finish due to modern manufacturing has improved
my skill level is bunny hop and jumping tiny kickers i can only spend $300 is there anything out there for me
Dont ride BMX, but i do ride unicycle. Sooo, my suggestion is: best unicycles to get. Yes i know theres many different CZcamsr Unicycle channels, but i think it would make a fun video
what do you think about the kink launch 2022
wtp arcade 2020 good bike for 250? (half year used no park use)
wethepeople is incredible but definitely aim for the higher end ones with more éclat and WTP parts vs the salt parts
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.
My 1st bike was a 79 Huffy Pro Thunder. That bike took a beating. Finally bent the forks out.
I got the fit str for $300 new from source I ain't complaining but I guess I'll need to get a free coaster for the rear hub
I just bought a 2023 Fit STR cassette for $300.24 shipped. I’m stoked. I think it’s a great platform for 300 bucks. Not for 600 tho liek you said
Does anyone know a BMX bike for a 6’0” male $350 and under, $400 max
Source bmx has the Fit street cassette for 334.95 with free shipping which is a great deal
when is aus gonna get these prices $889 for the kink whip here in Australia =[
What do you think about GT bikes? Are they a thing of the past? Like the Rosskelly
They are riding on their name. Typically over priced bikes for the quality. The only reason to get one is if the name really means a lot to you
WeThePeople Reason is my street machine and I love it. I added a gyro and pegs. Absolutely love this bike
I bought the Sunday Soundwave complete, bailed out a small fall and the bars bent pretty good. Fast forward i bought the WTP revolver complete, bailed out endless times and as a heavier dude this bike has been TOP QUALITY
The Odyssey bars on the Soundwave complete has the Lifetime Warranty. You should file a warranty claim if you haven't already.
@@LittleBigKid707b i sold the bike 2 years ago, the warranty was a hassle with the bike shop although my point was the low quality of some of those parts that came on the complete.
I hate to be “that guy” but which brand would you recommend overall? (Rode a lot when young. Well into my 30’s now and want to get back into it but things have changed A LOT in 20 years.) I’ve done some research and have it down to WTP Envy, Sunday Darkwave or possibly Sunday Wavelength. I’m 6’2’’ so it’ll have to be a 21’’ TT. Appreciate any input/insight you might have. ✌🏻
Wtp frames are solid, oddeysey forks ,tbh all top spec parts are solid these days
@@jeremyblack4290 Depends on your price range and local dealers
Front tube has a hole in it please send me a replacement
I got a brand new kink gap xl for $180 off of marketplace
On those Fiend bikes, might they be using blood types for model names? 😉😉
Good point 😅 type r just threw me off
@@Dougsterbob Could be a reference to Rhesus (Rh) factor in a blood type which is extremely rare. But who knows? 🤷♂️
@@Dougsterbob what do you think about the 20 inch cult x huf devotion bmx bike? It's on sale for $450
@@thinkb4uspeak643 that’s a good price for it! When it came out it was super over priced
@@Dougsterbob cool I'm gona get it, i like how it looks ,just haven't been in the bmx game for 20 years ,just got my son his 1st real bmx and it made me wanna get one too,thanks man I appreciate you responding so fast!
I have a Subrosa turo and it's really decent I really like the quality and I picked it up for a deal it was like Christmas time 351 dollars
I had a Sunday Forecaster (alec simeon). Okay bike, not worth the price. Cranks always came loose.
KONK is as popular as it because of bikes like the KINK whip probably they definitely stiffed me on that damn KINK GAP XL I found someone tall and made a fairly decent trade tho 👌
Why do BMX companys have such crappy names - SUNDAY ???? - SUBROSA?? - FIT and KINK , all lame names
Idk I like the simplicity of sunday and how they market it.
Why is your YT name so crappy?
@@johnrodgersbmx 🤣
Glass houses
Pot calling the kettle black user-jh8no1zb9e
All of these are great names.
can someone tell me if my bike its good for the price ?
Mankind Sureshot 2022 for 600 euros €
SubRosa has always been over priced, they were over priced when their stock bikes cost more than my S&M Black with the 21.75" frame, Odyssey Hazard lite pros, and profile crank and cockpit.
I would buy the fit street, but expect to dump another $300 into mods to make it a lot better.
Just for refernpe de in the Sunday scout
A fitbike scumbag is 500 retail for full chromoly and a free coaster
And the scout is 490 with only the chromoly down tube
Sunday is a scam when it comes to the
Blueprint, primer, and scout
Just got a new bike to get back into riding.
Paid $1139 for a wtp crisis 20.7 top tube home alloy with all sealed
Damn sucks to see my bike on here haha I really like it, especially in the 21inch bmx market. I have to disagree with the quality as it's a nicer ride then my old Fit Inman and came with more Odyssey parts . I never paid full price, got it $150 off which makes it more then worth it
how do you hang you bikes on the wall?
I think my 97 compe is 26lbs? 97 isnt there like under 20? 2022
I use a cubsala yaphet gold with added gyro and pegs and it was $240
I’m getting a Sunday scout for 330$ since I work at local bike shop
I'm glad i got my Subrosa Malum 22" for 527$. Chromoly everything and double walled rims. Solid ass bike for what I do.
I bought a Sunday blueprint brand new just about for $35 off a crack head and another Sunday soundwave for $60 😂
You in Omaha?? 😂
my first bmx bike was a scout i loved it!!
Wow my bike was the first on the list, except I paid 420$ not kidding...it was exactly 420$ with shipping
I bent the STR bars just pulling it out of the box 😂
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"
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
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
For high tensile steel bikes you wouldn’t be paying more than 199 or so
Thank god ProGear wasn't over rated
(in my opinion there are underrated)
How is Kink able to make full cromo bikes and still keep them at a great price?
Cause they are just that guy 😎
China
@@MrTmenzoTaiwan
Why do people even buy off Dan's comp
Dont use tubular cranks ,i learnt hard way
I got my fit str for 459$ at als cycles n hobby
Fully 4130 4 LifE!!!❤️🔥👊
what a bout fiend type o xl 2022 its 400€
I GOT MY FIT STR FOR $300 HONESTLY ITS FIRE!! THEY ON SOURCE BMX 40-50% OFF
THE GEOMETRY IS GREAT ON THAT BIKE.
You do the Lord’s work, dude. Thanks.
You must have a thing with Kink🤣 ask em about how they shit on the bike shops this year 😐
Thank You Dougster Bob we must eliminate Elitism in the BMX community and culture
Cult Devotion and Kink Curb are THE BEST big bmx bikes at the $500 price point, bar none.
Ok then WTP is the best?
I'm just trying to find a cool bike for a 7 year old.
I'm buying the Huffy HX Comp at Walmart and crush all you fools with a bike you can ghost ride and will never break. 🤣😵💫🆘🏆
At a 1000$ every bike should be pro level.
Period.
you can build one out for that ,easy
Hey I bought a 2017 fit Brandon begin bike brand new when it was new. Complete mistake. The free coaster came broken from factory it always clicked like crazy and slipped. The wheels are Complete garbage. I will never trust bike companies again
Do people still buy Haro bikes? I haven't rode one in 17 years lol then it got stolen and i worked hard for it.
I think they are a retro brand and I'm not even sure they are still being made. Even if they are they won't be the quality of the 80s models.
@@garyfreeman896 interesting mhmm.
I paid over $2,000 to put my bike together in early 2000s because the frames coming over from China were garbage. And you could spend four to $500 for a US-made chromoly frame. 8:16 😆
my friend got a kink curb and was making fun of me bc my bike is an amarican flag... the titanium laird amarican flag frame lol
I wouldn’t pay more than 100$ for a hi ten bike
I’m starting to think you got a deal with kink for however, many bikes, you’re able to sell for them lol
Man i wish, i'd be making so much money lmao
O minus, and they skipped c-n and went straight to o minus?! It’s o negative. Blood types buddy. They didn’t skip anything, you just didn’t get it.
Yeah that’s crazy. Type r is my favorite blood type
I'm hoping you were joking; O-(Type O Negative) is the universal donor blood type.
any $500 bike with single wall rims is a red sign, dont buy.
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.
That o- isn't worth 300 bro.
bro my scout cost me 900
You get 2 of them?? Lol😂😂
Rest of that money could of gone somewhere else lol
@@willybmxI ordered one for 420 recently
The sunday is garbage..the front sprocket bent in half just peddling..
You bought it and bent the sprocket just from peddling?
Weird
I’m smelling some BS
A, B, O, those are blood types yo.
I'm glad S&M isn't on here
BMX are what they are. They are pretty much all steel with cave man parts, no real difference in geometry and weigh a ton. Great for what they do but not worth spending real money on.
Does this guy recommend any bikes?? 😂
Agreed I am very overrated
This was posted on April fools😂
So buy a KINK yeah?
Nah buy a Cult or S&M
Simo complete is junk
I ride my rl420 91 model so good for all rounder
