p.3, Norco Manik, Kona Cowan... which bike?

Question

i want to do Urban stuff mostly and Dj...i might do SOME trails, but nothing serious..
i like the look of the p.3 and kinda leaning towards it, but can someone change my mind or tell me which one is a better buy..

any suggestions?


which on is the lightest?

Answer 1

forget the choices you have I'd suggest a Giant STP..you can get a 07 frame for $300 or talk to your local Giant dealer about a 2006 stp complete bike, I know right now giant is blowing them out to make room for the new stuff. the STP (Street,Trails,Park) is a sweet bike, the geo. is perfect for street or DJ and it rides well on the trails
I have owned a P bike and a Cowan before and will never go back now that I ride a STP

Answer 2

dont fall 4 it the knoa it the lightest of the bunch and is pretty dureable. so it is the best one of the three. but i suggest u look at some more bikes before u start.


u should consider getting companys like haro,kona,norco,specialized,tr... and gt. start with kona, specialized and giant they make good bikes and they are cheap for bikes within the same range. for kona look for stuff, lavadom or scrap
norco:shore series
haro:v series
specialized:any thing they are all good and cheap
ironhorse:make almost unbreakable bikes but they are heavy
banshee:morphine series


before buying the bike make sure that the dimonds of the frame should be small and points upwards the tyres should be wide and with lots of rubber studs. the fork should have atleast 100mm of travel better if beond 130mm. the suspention brand that you should look for is marzochii or rock shock they are the most common ones. if you dont like the suspention then you might consider spending an other 500$ on bomber shocks they are good qualityed stuff. i recomand a hard tail because they are easier to ride up hill and gives lots of air. and is cheaper and lighter. you should look for disk breaks but if the bike dont come with them v breaks are good too exept over time they dig into your rim and shorten the rim's life.
