Hi

I recently got my 1st BMX again at 43 and got 1986 Haro FST for the Chester, Liverpool rides etc and enjoying trying the old school tricks.  I would like a new bmx to try Manuals, hang 5s, grinds,playing on skateparks when kids at school :) etc and going to the Blackpool events etc.

Been selling stuff on Ebay and have a budget of about £100

What makes, models should I look for, avoid? I am 43 14 stone 5ft 8in with a bad leg so not going to be doing backflips :D so is hi ten steel frames ok or gor for full cro-mo? seen lots of bikes go for around £100 quid but all look the same to me!

Thanks for amy advice :)

Paul

100 quid won't go far, save a bit more, go for a full cro mo frame 20.75" tt or thereabouts

What Bettster said! :daumenhoch:

NS bikes lose huge value once sold, so second hand deals get you a lot of bike, but you need a few more quid than a ton. Aim for £250 and you can land a grand's worth of bike if 18 months old.  ;)

Missed one on preloved for £100 and it was worth £800! It is hard they all look the same nowadays!! may be able to stretch a few quid more but it's not going to get a lot of use it's only for playing about on :)
