I'm looking for something, but don't know exactly what it is yet. I'd like a rigid, chromoly bike that's simple, durable, nimble, and playful. Something that's comfortable for cruising around town, but I could also take on trails and ride at the pump track to work on my bike handling skills. I don't ride park or DJ, but would dabble if I had a capable whip
I like the idea of a 24" BMX, but I tried one recently and it felt too small and riding it hurt my lower back.
I'm looking into a rigid 26" DJ bike, but am concerned there won't be enough seat tube for a comfortable riding position off the pump track. See aforementioned lower back pain.
The other bikes I'm considering are a Surly 1x1 or 26" Redline Monocog. These would fill the "townie" bike role very well, but I wonder if they'd be as flickable and playful as a DJ/park bike.
Decisions, decisions.
