You're paying $100.00 for the bike and $1100.00 for "Branding and Image". Kinda like anything with Ed Hardy on it. Or Gucci. Or any other designer label plastered on Chinese made garbage

Pete is dead on. This also means that cooperate amaerica is paying attention to the BMX collector market, in some cases tht could be good, but this is um ahh what do you call it, Oh

EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!big_smile

totally epic fail!

i see all this talk about 1 piece cranks but some arent all that bad, a good quality 1 piece is better then a shitty 3 piece wink

I love one pieces cranks. I'm just saying, for the asking price, one would expect the usual "high end" extras, such as three piece cranks.

Re: GROSS!! Look at Stussy's new $1200 BMX bike!!

The ultimate example of marketing over substance, but I have to admit, I dig the marketing.  The bike looks cool, and the video makes me want to ride.  I also live in a walk-up, so I make the same schlep before every ride.

The fact that anybody would spend 1200 bucks for it, however, makes me worry that BMX is going the way of road biking, where $5,000+ Taiwanese "racing" bikes are now the norm.  I hope they lay a big, fat egg with this project and end up blowing these out for $300.

As for one-piece cranks, count me as a fan.


Chill, Hank.  I'm blessed.

Someone should go and build this same bike. Looks possible, just start off a similar frame with gusset then......add kashimax seat, diacompe 100 brakes and levers, dicompe seat clamp, some tange looking grips, nitto bars, some 94 gt looking chainwheel, victor/suntour bear claw pedals, checker bar pad. and wallah.

i was thinking the same thing. shouldn't cost more than $400 and then you could put $800 worth of stussy stickers all over it.

Re: GROSS!! Look at Stussy's new $1200 BMX bike!!

Yes the 26'' Cruiser looks like a much better bike but like ANT said, Stussy seems to be planting seeds in the BMX lifestyle market now. Seeing how their money is long & whatnot I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg . The bike by the way is just a tool to create a buzz about the brand STUSSY, but US BMXers knew the whole deal from the jumpoff. . . RIght ?! wink
Anyways Stussy originally was a  surfboard company. The guy started making t-shirts for the locals homies to promote his shop .Then his shirts started selling like hotcakes so he got into the fashion biz full time. He seems like cool dude. .  Now that Ed dude is something else . LMAO

Re: GROSS!! Look at Stussy's new $1200 BMX bike!!

well you know this being a kids site and all i hate typing the "P" word but just by using Porkchops site and being on the generous side of the cost of the wheels($150) i got a total of $446. without the seat which is difficult to price ($50-$80?) and the f/f set. which should not cost more than $150 for a nice "all metal" one with a gusset anyways not trying to knock Stussy but this is BS.  $1200 for that bike is unacceptable.

You guys should all send an e-mail to the Stussy HQ about how you think the bike is over priced and made poorly.lol

Re: GROSS!! Look at Stussy's new $1200 BMX bike!!

I like how the frame looks but thats not a $1,200 bike. if I had $1,200 burning a hole in my pocket i'd go buy something sweet like a 80s haro master.


WANTED:
any 1 inch hoffman superforks with stem 95-97 versions,  90s 36-39 tooth bashguard sprocket,  black 1988 haro fst,  red 1998 hoffman condor frame,  black 1987-88 or 91 haro master.

I thought Stussy went out of biz years ago.
Went to a Stussy warehouse sale decades ago and people were snappin that stuff by the 33 gallon trash bags full. Never really saw them is stores after that.
