I’m going to buy my son a bmx for his birthday in a month.
20" will be too big so I’m looking for something in 18" that he can thrash around for a few years. Does anyone here have much experience in bmxs that could give me some sound advice? Looking to stop at $400
Thanks
Just go into Ridgeways they’ll sort you out. Pretty sure they’ve got a few bikes on the floor that would be perfect.
Yeah I have done that. I was just looking for ‘other’ advice from peeps who might be into their bmxs as well as fixies
There are only 2 18’ bikes on that market that I am aware of. The GT el centro ($449) and the DK franklin/intervol ($529). They are both good strong bikes with 3pce cranks and have gyros.
For a bit closer to what you want to spend maybe a Jr 20inch might be the way to go. There is the Eastern 9volt($419) and the Mongoose mini motovator ($399) and there is a shop on the north side of brisbane that has 20% OFF Mongoose and 15% OFF Eastern at the moment as well. Those guys are pretty anal about how the bikes are built as well. Best advice I can offer is get your kid to choose one that he likes in terms of color and how it feels to ride becuase every bike is different.
^ thank you
