Yes I need suggestions for a new bike too because mine is too small and this time I'd actually like a BMX so I can try out some tricks and stuff like that.

my mate is getting a fit series one. looks amazing. he also getting the fit fork and sprocket. The rest is coming from PrimoUSA. Either Primo or PrimoPro parts. Should be light as hell.

Primo and Odyessy are the best bike brands ever, so I'd suggest anything from them. But...what type of BMX do u do? Flatland, Dirt, Street, Race, or vert?

if you're looking for a new bike... I highly recommend you go with the custom bike. that way you can pick and choose and end up with exactly what you want. if you like the fit frame... you could always build your custom bike around one. although I wouldn't recommend a fit, unless you're super smooth. I really wanted one, but I've seen one too many with big dents on the top tube and seat stays, which really aren't the big abuse areas of a frame, but still, if you mess up jumping a spine or something and it comes down on the coping I don't want my top tube caving in. plus if you look in rideBMX november issue, for the mikey aitken interview... he has a dent in his seatstays near the dropouts. I love fit and everything, and their frames have awesome geometry, and style, but denting is something I'm not too fond of. I'd rather have a frame that's a half pound heavier and not have to worry so much about denting... my wtp thrillseeker has takend quite a few blows to the tt and ss, and has escaped unscathed, granted it weighs 7lbs... anywhatever, what I'm saying is that there are other things to consider other then how light a frame is. and don't get a haro, please. S&M makes some good stuff, what frame of theirs are you looking at? what kind of stuff do you ride? how much are you willing to spend, because an all out custom bike will cost you a pretty penny.

i ride stret, dirt, and i dabble in skatepark. i am small (5'2") and i want something small. i DO NOT want a haro at all. i am getting the money from sellingmy dirtbike (its too small) soi will have enough for a costom but i still want to keep the price down. i like the S&M dirtbike and the new josh stricker frame (but that is very weak i predict, being only 5 pounds). WTP sounds like a good company and what about the Macneil ruben?
