    Im leaning towards the Intense, but the formula comes with a carbon fork , and I just love the SE , but the limo is 200 cheaper ahh decisions ahhh

    My vote is the Intense or the Redline.

    I'd never trust a carbon fork that isn't mainstream.

    cool,
    mudman, you cant even talk, right now its between the free agent limo and intense team alloy the limo can be had at around 500 and the intense is going to be 660-680 ish the build is pretty much the same and im having a hard time justifying the extra money just because the intense has a cool looking top tube

    I'll talk if I wan't!!!

    The Intense looks cool, I like how they have smaller size. However I'm getting tired of seeing so many of them.

    I myself would probably go for the Limo or PK Ripper. Then again I don't race... ;)

    yeah I like the PK Ripper a lot, haven't seen anyone with one either. Could that be the reason? No one can order it either? I've seen just a regular PK Ripper at fullerton bikes but not the team, because its a different frame isn't it? With different chainstay and seatstay yokes or something.

    I have to get out there and try my Free Agent. I like the fork that comes stock on it.
    I also like the 07 because you can put a king head set on it. The new FA has an integrated head set who know maybe its better but I am not into it.
    The 07 red is cool also.
    I really like the old style PK rippers so I was checking the new ones out.
    I don't have the same feeling for them. I might be riding an Intense in the future But I wanted to try the FA so I picked one up. I liked it because it was a little longer than the other bikes I was looking at.
    Its hard to say what to get. They are all cool.

    With all the STR members going wild over the BMX track, why don't we all just pick a cruiser class or 20'' and race as a big ass team? :lol:
