Answer 2

Looks OK to me for an entry level bike. By the way, a steel frame is good for ANY bike. Some of the most expensive bikes in the world have steel frames.

EDIT: Phil, you are clearly not knowledgable in the bike industry. Steel- which includes high tensile (1020), chrome molybdneum (4130), manganese molybdneum and others are some of the best materials for a bike frame available.

EDIT: RYAN... CrMo IS STEEL- just a better grade.

Answer 3

I totally disagree with above, steele is a heavy metal, hardly any of the best bikes are made from steele, but anyway , steele would be fine for a bmx

Answer 4

well if you are just a beginner and dont use your bike for any big tricks or anything it should be fine, but i had an old dyno with a steel frame and it got nasty cracks in the frame so if you plan on doing anything stressful on the bike i would suggust chromium-molybdenum (CrMo) its stronger and will stand up to more than steel
