Hi All

I have a good friend who has a few bikes - KONA and Dawes (for serious stuff) and is thinking about a BMX as he is now in the City and needs to get around.

He is after something strong for messing about and does not mind New or Old School.

Price is about £500 - but the important stuff, he is well built 5' 10 " (rides he has tried - GT and Mongoose at evans are to small) and he is 15 Stone.

What do you recommend with links plesae.

I have not really looked at New Rides, but thought about the Haro Sport, would that be large enough?

Or XL, Pro Race stuff - what is out there?

Thanks

most new skool stuff is ok im 6ft2 and 18 stone
 i run a 21 inch top tube so about 20 to 20.5 should be ok
oh and ive not broke out yet

Cheers  ;)

After spending a few beers browsing most of the sites this evening and having a chat we think that the SE Ripper and Flyer are looking good.

He wants it ideally with good power so maybe 180 cranks and to be able to sit down and pedal most of the time.

When looking at the SE site, the technial / geom section seem good and the top tube is 20.5 so the fit and position should be okay, and the prices seem well in budget from looking at the dealers.

What do you ride?

Cheers for the reply,

greentoad
