Albe's, Empire BMX, or Dan's Comp for purchases. You can also find some decent info on VitalBMX if you sift through the bullshit. They make NSG look intelligent.

Make sure it has a 3 piece crank, pref sealed. Lots of ahit bikes have 3 pieces now but you know anything with a 1 piece crank Is def something you don't want. Might find something on cl cheap?

One piece cranks are lighter.

I'm not going to pretend i know a lot about bikes, however my kink bike came stock with a one piece, and it was a pro-model/ one of my favorite bikes i have ever owned

I guess i'm just saying that the crank wouldn't be the deciding factor of whether i'd buy a certain bike or not.

I would never get a one piece crank unless I was >110 pounds.
