Yea I had always enjoyed bmx. The reason I had quit for scootering years ago was because I was right in between a 20" and a 16" and both were uncomfortable to ride. There really wasn't a good cheap 18" back then, so I just stopped doing it. Lately my friend has gotten into bmx and now I'm 5' 7" and 150 pounds, so obviously I can ride his 20" comfortably. I'm not to great, but since I do have a background in BMX (and scootering helps too), I can do some decent sized dirt jumps, air out on qps, do disasters on qps, and that's basically it. Either way, it's really fun.

So i'm asking for some advice on which bike I should get. It's funny cause I've basically made my decision, however the more insight the better. I'm thinking about the 2009 FIT trail 3 in black. That's the link: http://www.danscomp.com/101973.php?cat=BIKES It comes out in about a month, so I'd definitely have the money by then. Another one of my friends have the Aitken S3 frames and I love it and since that's whats on the TRL 3, i'm sure I'll like it. I'd love to build a bike, but it's just too darn expensive.

So, what do you think I should get? ($600 max).

Fit trl 3 should do you fine, dunno why the made a trails frame with 20.5 as most trail frames are longer. As long as its got the full chromoly and 3 peice cranks its fine, or for me at least lol. Just from looking on dans the kink roc looks nice aswell.
