Well I'm looking into getting a complete 20". Im not to sure on which to get. I'm a relatively tall guy, about 6'2". I will mostly be riding park and street but would sometimes be hitting the trails. I cant decide to go single cable or gyro. Any opinions which bike i should get?

I'm looking to spend no more than about $450.

the challenge for you buying a complete is to get one that has a long frame. most completes have 20" or 20.5" top tube lengths. the best completes to look at, off the top of my head, are KINK, FIT, and HOFFMAN. i think KINK does have a complete 20.75"tt bike, which should be long enough for you. tall dudes or dudes who like roomy bikes, would run a 21" or 21.5"tt.

your alternative is to check craigslist and buy a used complete for around the same price. building up a good frame with good parts will easily cost in the $800 - $1200 range. look at www.empirebmx.com for prices.
