kinda stuck between a custom bike and wethepeople 4seasons. what is the difference between custom and wtp 4seasons. i would buy one of the bikes from streetmafiabmx on ebay. i can't post the link here, dont know why it doesnt work. do a  search for custom complete on ebay and look for a bmx bike then click on the complete bikes on the left side once you're in the streetmafiabmx store.

will a box bike like 4seasons work just as well as a custom bike? how abou the frame differences.

If you're just starting, just get a complete. It's easy, it'll run decently to start, and you know all the parts are compatible. Replace parts as they break, but start with a boxed bike.

Yeah, just get a complete bike, nothing crazy expensive or cheap, and you learn over time whats good and bad.
Replace parts when needed.

Yeah, a complete bike is just that, the parts on it aren't as good as the parts you can buy.
Custom bikes are ones you make, such as buying a frame, and parts that you want and building it.

the only thing that really matters is that you buy the right bike for you. you need to do some research into top tube lengths and your own height and weight.

just because you complete doesnt mean the parts are right unless you read up on what you need  and want. i mean they have that "subrosa" complete that is upwards of 1100 dollars, which is a really super nice bike, but that doesnt matter if you get the 20.5" toptube and your like 6'2" tall or vice versa. it is also personal prefence. though if you like tall bars, you like tall bars. if you like a short  rear ends or if you like to keep your stem flipped over and low. when you do break parts you have to take into account that you should beef up that part of your bike too

its time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta gum.
