Date Reviewed: May 23, 2000
Favorite Trail:Sycamore Canyon
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Strengths:The Vegas is a very strong, maneuverable bike. It is very easily jumped and can be brought to high speeds.
Weaknesses:The Vegas is pretty heavy compared to other BMX bikes. It can also be pretty twitchy at high speeds.
Similar Products Used:GT and Redline BMX bikes.
Bottom Line:I would highly advise buying this bike for someone who just wants to ride around the neighborhood or if you are planning on smacking the bike around. For a racing bike, the Vegas is too heavy.

Bottom Line:

This is my first BMXer since high school days. Back then the movie RAD had come out a several years before so I'm definitly old school. The bike is built like a brick shithouse, seems like it's heavy as one too. The only thing I don't like are the cheap looking one piece crank, everything else looks strong and beefy. For the price I paid for it, less than what is listed here, I think its a pretty good bike. Far stronger than what I used to ride back in the '80's.
