It looks more like a freestyle bike than a BMX bike. In BMX you don't need the special wiring so your handle bars can go all the way around (forgot what it is called, a gyro[?], it's been so long :P), nor do you need pegs. In fact, pegs are usually against the rules to having in BMX racing. I never really liked Mongoose since I was more of a dirt jumper and mongoose forks tend to bend easily.

Maybe its called a freestyle bike but people around here call it a bmx. But anyway, suggest i buy it? It's a very nice bike :)

I got my new bike now. Its a dark blue HARO F2. Heres a black one:

My mountain bike owns yours :-P

Mine's doing well, considering I've put 30km on it every day for the last 3 months.  That's almost 1000km (700 miles) :)
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

Wow nice bike.  :)

My bmx does jumps and everything though (always likes to flip me over and crack my neck haha :P )

I like your bike, but i like mine more. :P

edit: 1111 post.

iago

I got mine for street riding, mostly, and I'm pretty sure that if I did a jump it would fall apart.  Something about 260 pounds landing on a bike that it probably wouldn't like.

I am.  It's a genetic thing, as far as I can tell.  I've been riding 30 km/day for the last 3 months, and my weight is unchanged.

I had a moongoose and hated it.  I prefer schwin or specialized personally.

I purchased a schwinn from a local chainer (walmart? not sure). It rode like a badass.

Pssh, I was expecting to see a Suzuki or a Honda, not a bicycle!
