What is better an eastern shovelhead or fbm marauder?
i would have to say the fbm marauder is better because it is lighter and it has better colors. Also it has the pivotal style seat/seatpost and i like this because it shaves alot of weight and it is still a strong seat. both of them are 100% cromoly and that is why they have a lifetime warranty on the frame.
Are Haro Forums Good?
Yes. A Haro Forum is a very good bike. Cromoly front triangle, fork and handlebar (rear triangle and head tube are high tensile steel), 3 piece crank with sealed bearings, aluminum sealed bearing hubs... it's a great value really.
What is the best cruiser BMX?
The Faction Zeitgeist is the best cruiser (although it's got 22" wheels, so not technically a cruiser). It's faster in racing than a 24 and loads better for tricks on street or trails. Best deal going is £275 on faction's store, well cheap for a full cromoly bike IMO.
What BMX brand is better Blackeye or United?
Well, both United and Blackeye have a full line of bikes. Blackeye comes in cheaper with their Mack at only $190. United's start at $290 with their Recruit RN1. For $10 more, you can get a bike from Blackeye that's equivalent component wise, but has a cromoly top and downtube and cromoly fork steerer (the United Recruit is all hi-tensile steel). The Blackeye is also slightly longer in the front for taller riders. If you're comparing top of the line models, then you're putting the $500 Blackeye Killarado up against the $520 United Supreme SU2. Both are VERY similar in build quality and specs and both come with a 21" long top tube. The Blackeye comes with smaller frame size options for smaller riders, but if you need the longer 21" frame, I'd still say go with the Blackeye and save yourself $20.

What is the function of Chromoly?
Chromoly is a type of steel alloy that is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for applications where strength is important but weight needs to be minimized. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of bicycles, race cars, and aircraft components due to its durability and resistance to bending and torsional forces.
Is forgotten bikes better than haro bikes?
in my opinion yes. I have a forgotten victim 2010, (the purple one). My only problem i had with it that was major was that I just realized that the little stud on the crank arm that goes into the sprocket is broken, i mean the weld just broke and its practically hanging out and i haven't even had a chance to test the bike on a good set of dirt jumps or a skate park, I wouldn't go by that though. This was yesterday (8th of feb 2011), i got the bike 9 months ago (may 12 2010). The only other problem I have had is that since i bout the bike the rear wheel was of center and kinda wobbly but only a bit, again i wouldn't say that means all forgotten's will have that "defect". Forgotten bikes are good for supplying cheaper (and lighter) bikes with good stats (sealed in bearings, cromoly stuff ect) for younger riders. If you have more money then you could get a better bike such as a colony, WTP ect not kink though a lot of people i know say they're really bad (including me). In other words if you want a good cheaper starting bike with respectable stats forgotten wont let you down, haro might, and haro's are heavy and REALY ugly looking.
Which is the heavier bike frame alloy or aluminium?
Typically, aluminum bike frames are lighter than alloy frames. Aluminum is known for its lightweight properties, making it a popular choice for bike frames due to its strength-to-weight ratio and overall performance. Alloy frames may refer to a combination of different materials, including aluminum, so it's not accurate to say one is inherently heavier than the other.
