$130.00 | | Purchased At: | EBAY.com | | Strengths: | 14mm axles are a must on the bestwick pro. they withstand hard grinding. The frame is grade A. | | Weaknesses: | They only have 1 piece cranks. Jamie bestwick uses a 3 piece. They should give the exact setup as jamie's bike. | | Bike Setup: | The setup is nice. No Problem | | Bottom Line: | This bike is a great bike. But its too bad that they're going to sell GT bikes in toys r us now. The forks are the best feature on this bike. They have peg bosses that are really good. Someone who would like a SOLID bike and ready for grinding should get this bike. A person who doesnt want a solid bike should not get this bike. OVERALL...this bike is ready for some beating. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
