hi im new here but am going to purchasea bike in the next few weeks.

I havent decided yet on which bike id want, but i really liek the chase 4, it is a good price and i like the simplicity of a single speed. Im wondering if people have first hand experience on this bike. I know the fork is crap, but how is the frame? is it durable and easy to manual? My store told me that the giant is preffered by dirtjumpers, but id like to see what you guys think of the frame.

Both bikes see4m very similar and basically im goign to choose the best frame because the parts are practically identical. So how does this frame ride for street and park and is it a good dirt jumper. Ive heard mixed reviews about it on other forums so id like to see what you nsmb users think of the bike.

thanks in advance

my kid had a chase 3 last year which he did up SS for urban/DJ and beat hard enough to trash the fork/both rims/bent the seat post but the frame and 1.5 headset were bomber

mmm now that i remember i heard somewhere that it may feel weird to some because it has a lower bb height than other frames, anyone wants to give more imput on that?
