which bike to keep???

[phillpreston]

Hey guys!! My first post in your beautiful forums

My question is about my 3 bikes. 

Basically i'm new to bmx and would like to buy a playstation 3 with the money from selling two of the following:

Mongoose Pro

Diamondback Joker

Haro (not sure - bought debadged)

From stock performance alone - without considering parts - which is worth keeping in terms of core components (Frame, forks etc?)



ps -  can anyone tell a haro from just a photo? I bought it off ebay ages ago and have no idea what the name of the bike is - if anyone replies i'll stick a picture up and maybe you little lot can help me out?

Cheers guys!!

stick sum photos up mate

Cool man! Will do tonight if possible.

None of the bikes are complete - im sorting out which parts i want on which bike before i sell them on.

ps i'm assuming a FSA smack daddy is better than the generic stock mongoose 3 - piece?

And are all dia compe brakes good? - will take pics of the ones i have.

Cheers lads

from what you've listed i would say the Haro would probably be worth the most....but even so i'm not sure you'll get what you need for a PS3?

The DB Joker will probably only get about £40 depending on condidion?  not sure on the mongoose and the Haro might be worth about £100 if it's in good shape and has decent enough bits on.

The piccies will tell more though

Thats the haro - can anyone tell me what bike it actually is?

Has new parts added to it though - 2 alex rims, new chain, FSA Smack Daddy crankset. 

Looking to keep this one i think though!!

Will get pics of the Mong    and DB tonight though.

DB


This is a diamondback joker old school bmx - diamondback frame, forks and wheels, haro bars, crank, chainwheel and stem, oddysey grips...diacompe rear caliper...



Mongoose


This is a Mongoose Pro BMX 30 year special

14mm alex rims
gyro
mongoose branded 3piece

Waddya reckon?

hi ya mate

that DB is not an old school one, it looks a newish (say 5/5 years old) bottom end bike

the Harrow looks like a Mid school Zipo or something like that?  not the most desirable to be honest

The Mongoose looks the best out of the lot but don't know much about them.

i'd say you'd be lucky to get £150 for the lot?  but i may be wrong??

ebay.

[phillpreston]

yeah im not implying they are old school, i'm just looking for ballpark figures and which is the best for me to keep really.

Most attached to the Haro since i made it from its component parts.

Maybe the best way to word it is to say which has the most potential as a decent bike? I have the money to spend on them all, but i'd like to know you guys opinion on which has the potential to make the best bike in terms of weight / strength etc.

Cheers!!

If you find yourself most attached to the Haro then keep that... i think i would too...

Are they Renthel bars on the Haro ?

[phillpreston]

to be perfectly honest - i have no idea.  Why do you ask? Are they worth much?    and how would i find out?

[sonic-1]

with those 3 you will be lucky to make enough for a ps 2 !!!!!!!!! the mongoose is same as mine n it weighs a ton mine weighs 34.43lbs

Welcome to the site mate.

Like Pickle says, you'll be lucky to get £150 for the lot...mind you if those are Renthal bars you get a few quid for them.
