Well- I guess it's kind of dependent on who's riding it and what they are going to do with it you know? I'm not familiar with any of the parts but if I were to get on one of those machines for 5 minutes they would probably explode.

From experience, I've blown SRAM x4, X5, bent truvativ isoflow chainrings, sheared high end/entry level cogs.....

If one is going to be gentle suzan on a greenway, all would work great...... About the forks, who knows if the seals would break or leak- I'm shocked that my stock RST Gilla has lasted as long as it has, as it is not exactly designed for what I put it through.

-the end.

I would be riding more than likely. I am not a stunt rider. I don't do the jumps anymore. Those days have come and gone for me. Life has been hard on my body and I have seen enough pain. I choose my battles wisely now. I ride for speed,endurance,balance and cardio.I just want something cheap that could be upgraded if need be

I'd just wait and save up. $20 a week for a year is $1040
