I'm looking to get a new ride. I've got an old (as in a 99 specialized fatboy 415 pro) which is solid as, but about 20+ kilograms, and just FAR to old now. I'm really rough on bikes, and break things on them all the time, i've replaced pretty much everything on that bike from new. Stems, headsets and rims tend to break regularly for me, or to say they DID. I've no idea what is decent anymore, and am looking for something really simple, but solid. No gyros, breaks optional, light, strong etc. Its for street, and park. Suggestions? Should I get a dirt complete and change a few things? or rip some parts off the old bike and custom something? I've no idea as to what is a good start now a days. Looking to spend as little as possible, but have learnt that its best to spend the money the first time, rather than replace everything along the way, and missing out on riding time.
Help?
