New Dirt Jumping Bike??

[MuffinMan]

My birthday is coming up and i have a super heavy haro (lol) and my friends and i hit dirt jumps around OC (ill post pics later) and i have around 300+ dollars. I was thinking of a DK, are they good for dirt jumping? and what is the most recommended DK bike?

A DK six pack will be fine.. and its 330 and 33 lbs

[MuffinMan]

is a four pack better than a six pack?

[EPMD]

they are basically the same thing

[MuffinMan]

i dunno, the frame looks loooong lol. is 33 pounds too heavy cuz my haro 540 is heavy, but i compared to to a 25 pd dumbell and it seemed the same

[MuffinMan]

what would u say about Eastern Element?

[federal_rider12]

ok man an average bike weighs like 32-34lbs so you better get use to the weight. and well yeah a 4 pack is better then a 6 pack but not a huge difference, but the difference the 4 pack has japanese tubing, fsa crank, better tektro brake, cnc iron cross chainwheel, and a chromoly seat post

[Mr_Shrapnel]

if you can afford it, and want a dk, go for the 4-pack, cos there is not point in getting rid of your haro, and buying a bike which is only a little bit better (ie, the six pack).
but there are other companies you could check out eg, wethepeople, hoffman, federal, fly bikes, and stolen also do some pretty good bikes aswell.

[MuffinMan]

So for the best dirt/trail bike in the mid 300's, you would go with the DK six pack? or what? (even 400 dollar ones too)

[MuffinMan]

prob will end before someone replies but does this seem like a good bike for the price?

thts a good price cause any sandm frame will set u back more than 250 bux alone

[EPMD]

Its a great bike for the price.. get that instead of a DK

[MuffinMan]

ill try to quickly convince my mom, cuz my mom is ebay freak and he has zero feedback so she will give me a big deal about it. hopefully no one bids and i can email the guy later to negotiate a price

[federal_rider12]

ok you said even into $400? if you keep looking at the dks check out the dk dayton. now that thing has some nice parts. im not into dks but that thing is a good deal for the money. its like $450

[federal_rider12]

but if your not going to spend that much just get the four pack

[MuffinMan]

on ebay dk is 300 dollars, at this place close to me. im looking at that one too. ill list the ones im kinda interested in....

DK Four Pack
DK Dayton
Eastern Element
Eastern Sequence
Volume Mexican

im kinda looking for one with straight cables, i have no use for gyros, any sugestions will be greatly appreciated

[tgreathead]

MuffinMan, are you taking about Epic BMX?

[MuffinMan]

yea i am, why?

[MuffinMan]

yeeow im getting dayton because the guy says its better than four pack, and same price, what do u guys think, still the four pack or dayton? he says its better cuz it coem with euro bb and ab etter frame. (5 pounds heavier tho T_T)

[sandmriderbmx]

go with dk anything really, there good bikes, begginer or not, not the best, but good

[William]

I agree that the DK 4 pack and the DK Daytona, are good bikes, and are about the same components wise, but if you live in Canada be warned these bikes cost about $800 Canadian. You have been warned!

[MuffinMan]

i can get either one for 350 american out the door

[sandmriderbmx]

tht sounds like a good price, considering my s&m was more like 850

[MuffinMan]

yeeeow got a dayton, and he gave me really good deal. two dirt tires for 15, free gloves, shaved the bars, free huge stack of stickers, took off the front brake. all for like 360
