$250.00 | | Purchased At: | bought frame off a friend | | Strengths: | Its pretty lightweight for such a stong frame. Has good shape to the frame.
Everything on my 415 is all after market, so my bike turns heads at the park. | | Weaknesses: | 3 piece crank sucked... seatpost bolt snapped and i had to buy an entire new seatpost that was hard to find cause of specialized uses a bigger size than most bikes... handlebars snapped. This bike has dual break cables so be prepaired to spend a little more when you replace your break lines. | | Similar Products Used: | Vegas, Fatboy415, FBM angel of Death | | Bike Setup: | Primno powerbite 3piece crank, alex supra-J rims, easton aliuminum seatpost, titanium axcel nuts, maxxis hookworm treads, FBM flywheel, shadow chain, FBM bottle opener gooseneck... theres more but im getting tired of this | | Bottom Line: | I have owned many bikes, but this one has been my favorite... i have had it for many years rode it hard and it still holds together. If you find one of these frames BUY IT, uoi may never see another one again | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$200.00 | | Purchased At: | My Mate | | Strengths: | Stron frame, I've given it a hammering and its still kicking. Love the beautiful blue paint. | | Weaknesses: | Orginal headset craped out and was replaced with a FSA Pig. Bent the fromt forks and replaced them. Crank sucked so I put in a 3 piece mongoose. Blew the freewheel apart and replaced it with a ATC. Snapped a break leaver off and replaced them both with snafu's. Breaks are quite tempamental mainly cause the rim's have bent. Rim's the next to be replaced. Handgrips knida sucked to. | | Similar Products Used: | None just changed over from skateboarding | | Bike Setup: | As before 3 piece mongoose, ATC freewheel, Pig headset, Odessy handgrips, snafu breaks and pegs all around LOL. | | Bottom Line: | Pretty fat bike, little heavy, would highly recomend as a progressing bike (from begginer to intermediate). Its got heaps of room to up grade, as you can see, but has been an awesome starter bike for me. It seems to have the strength were it needs it 'In the frame' everything else will eventually wear out, thats just life, but the frame can take the punishment.
Really happy that I bought it but the next one will be a bit more hard out. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$300.00 | | Strengths: | good frame & geometry, strong, light, reliable, nice cable routing, good tires if you need to ride street & ramps, decent wheels, 14mm axles | | Weaknesses: | stock gips just sucks, 1-piece crankset bends so easily, tires aren't good for dirt | | Similar Products Used: | Haro mirra pro, Dragonfly Mission, Redline Single X, Specialized Fatboy Hemi, other bmx bikes Shwinn, GT, Diamondback (I don't remember exactly the models) | | Bike Setup: | Generix flat pedals, hutchinson scorpion grips, pegless dirt setup with Odyssey HeartScience tires | | Bottom Line: | Great riding smoothness, good jumping & landing feel, you can abuse on the 415. I ride my bmx quite hard,I also broke my knee on a big overjump (landing on the flat spot behind the downslope of the dirt jump I was hitting) but the bike is still fine, and the wheels are still perfect.
You'll probably have some problems with the cranks and/or with the grips, but the 415 is a very well worth entry level bike , better than many bikes wich cost near twice.
I don't give it 5 chilis overall only because of the cranks. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

not too expensive, you can upgrade as you get better and need better stuff
| | Weaknesses: | brakes are pretty weak, levers arent very comfortable
needs better brake pads
SPECIALIZED TIRES SUCK ASS
stock grips are awful
1 piece cranks are heavy and bend easy
broke the cones inside the rear hub
kinda cramped | | Similar Products Used: | free agent | | Bike Setup: | kool stop/ aztec brake pads
snafu rimjob rear, thornproof tube | | Bottom Line: | i love this bike it's really awesome.
you gotta buy a few cheap accesories to make it your own like grips, tires, pedals. whatever makes you comfortable
good for beginners like me | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
