What bike should I pick between a Haro Cosmo, Dk Fury or Mongoose Supergoose?

Question

Im 6'1" and I want to freestyle bmx, ill just be starting out. I dont have very many options so what should I choose between a Haro Cosmo, Dk Fury or Mongoose Supergoose. All of them are around $120. Is this a deal? Which would be best? If none, are there any USED bmx websites someone could point me to?

Thx

bro i have been riding bmx for about 8 years and i have been through my fair share of bikes. depending on your type of shredding (trials, street, park, flat) you need to first think about what you want in your bike. in bmx today people sacrafice strength for lightweight because they feel it gives them more control over thier bike. i for one do have lightwieght parts on my bike, but those are the parts i see myself breaking the most. If you dont have alot of money, like it seems you dont, to spend on a bike....my best advice is to save your money for a few more months and splerge on a nice quality bike. For your first bike you mostly want, sealed hubs, 3-pc cranks, sealed headset, sealed BB, and rims that can hold up. in bmx you get what you pay for. go to www.danscomp.com where you can find bikes for 200-400 complete. and dont buy a used bike, your going to be putting more money into the bike, more money than the bike is actually worth. My first decent bike was a Haro Zippo and i paid $500 for it back in the day and i probly put $500 into it to keep it running. now i have a bike that is worth over $1600 because it is all custom, but i see myself riding the parts about 5x longer than i did when i first started riding. my advice to you is to find an Eastern, FBM, Hoffman, Fit, or even Mirraco. complete bikes....you will be happy you took the extra time to save for a better bike....cause common all we want to do is ride rather than jerry-rigging our bike to make it work.
