I find it interesting that this bike is recommended by the poster in the second post and it has almost the same geo as my bike albeit with a more "bmx" fork yet mack_turtle thinks mine is not appropriate. Mine will do the same as this bike except not be able to back pedal. Mine has a Brooks Cambium saddle, Ultegra cartridge BB, Tange headset, SR Seat post, Chili pepper DH bars, a true BMX stem, a Shimano CB-e110 Coaster brake hub, SS spokes, Shimano Front hub, Marathon tires. My bike weighs in a 28 pounds, 4 pounds lighter that the above suggested bike(specs below). My bike rides every bit as good as an old Mongoose I rode way back in the early 80s, except it fits me better than that monkey hugging a football mentioned in an earlier post.
