So can you guys suggest a good bike for riding around and occasionally bashing on it. BMX platform preferred no gyros or extras bars on the frames like the old days, and light with quality metal no high tens stuff.

Are you looking for a race bike? Or more something for park/street riding? You'll get a lighter bike with a race frame, you'll get a more durable bike with park/street but that's not to say that either isn't good, each just has their own strengths. If you're not planning to get on a track, I'd look for a park/street bike as they seem to be more prevalent on craigslist. If you take it to a track once in a blue moon you can still ride it. At your height and weight, if you won't be grinding or doing any serious park/ramp abuse, either type of bike should suit you well.

I don't like the flat dull pastel colors being used now a days. This marble looking almost like a bowling ball caught my eye. While I was riding it around I wasn't impressed by the fatter tires or seat or even the cranking assembly. What impressed me instantly and you can feel the moment you throw your first pedal is the ergonomics. The geometry allows for more leverage which the bike respond easier and faster than my Dyno. I peddled hard and dove into it like my bike and it peeled out and thunk-ed I though I had broke it. It's not necessarily a whole lot lighter but the way it's engineered it feels lighter. Yea I'm liking it. My son isn't impressed yet, I told him just wait till you try it. He's alot taller than I am. To add it was below what I found it going for online. The main kicker was lay a way.

Heeeeeeeeeey!
