About to delve into x metal land. What should I know?

[doowahditty]

Ok folks, I am about to jump headfirst into the x metal pool and would like to hear the pros and cons, what to look for and what to look out for. I want to get at least one Juliet(probably 2), an R1, an R2, a Penny, an XX, and an X Squared. I wouldn't be opposed to buying all at the same time for the right deal but I just don't want to spend that much money until I am more familiar with those frames. Thank you for any and all help.

This is a rabbit hole that you'll need to make sure you're strapped into your gear tightly for and have a good rope to pull yourself out with.


You plan on wearing them or staring at them?

 

[doowahditty]

I plan on wearing them.

Buy an R1 first.

Research prices and trends. Then tend to fall and rise. Take your time and don't buy anything on impulse. Most x metals are over priced anyways... by over priced I mean over retail... way over. The best deals are the ones that don't break the bank and leave you with buyers remorse.

PS the search is bar is your best source for info. I took about a week researching everything.

So far the Brooks, Jupiters, Oil Rigs are the best.

Then yup. Go for R1 first. Penny is way smaller and you may not like the way the fit you with regards to size.

Anything I need to be on the lookout for with the R1s?

Get ready to have an empty wallet. They are like a Lays potato chip. You can never get enough.
