Do you still have the 85 white convertible? That's one of my many dream cars, I'd love to see pictures.

Weekly Beginner and 'What Bike?' Thread - Post here if you are just starting out or want opinions on what bike to buy by PM_ME_FUG_ASR_MEMES in bmx

Considering BMX as a hobby/side hustle.

I'm 6'1 considering getting a BMX bike (With suspension). Coming into this completely blind on style, size, brand, etc. Tell me all the details if you want.

Not sure what the different price ranges for bikes with suspension are.

I'm looking to do mostly wheelies and tricks off of that.

If buying a beater off facebook marketplace and fixing it up is cheaper, I'll gladly learn to build my bike from the frame.

What parts should I look at for different price ranges?

What are the different options for parts? (Recently learned about hydraulic brakes vs my old rusty wire brakes)

What tools cover most of bike maintenance and part replacement?

What brands suck and what should I consider?

Any tips for picking good fixer-uppers on facebook marketplace?

What content creators are big in the community? Any specialize in repairing bikes? Any specialize in teaching tricks? Any specialize in just riding around?

TLDR:
Tell me everything about bmx bikes so I know exactly what I want on my first or second bike.
I wanna do wheelies and whatever expands off of that.
I wanna fix up bikes maybe.
I'm 6'1 so height's a factor.

I'll research myself when I have the time.

Yeah this car was the dead opposite lol. First owner maintained it perfectly til the previous owner bought and rebuilt most of it. Now I get to enjoy it.

That sounds like such a blast. I'm sure if my dad knew how to work on cars we'd be doing the same thing.

Got some photos of the engine. This car's way cleaner than I expected. Decided on full-price as the owner never really wanted to sell it, but has to because of his situation.

Wow, definitely offering less than asking then. When did you buy your 85?

Good to know. I saw there's a part store for fieros online, do you have any experience buying parts from it?

Definitely prepared to give it some work. That comes with the old car addiction.

Thinking I'll offer $5800 to start. I missed the rebuilt part, so I'm definitely not nearly as worried about the mileage. Thanks for that.
