Title: Huffy Tantrum 2004
Post by: hoppo75 on October 11, 2010, 09:48 PM

Hiya folks,

I hope some of you guys can help me. I'm on the hunt for a BMX for my son and have found, what LOOK like, good bikes. However, the one I have found that reads really well is the Huffy Tantrum (2004). Can anyone offer any info/watchouts about this bike? My son is a tall 9yr old and having sat him on a few BMX's have found that full size is OK for him. it's been 25yrs since I last had a BMX (an Amaco Mongoose which I dearly loved), so any advice from you guys would be a massive help. Also, should I worry about this having '2004' in the title?

Thanks.

 :) Way,way too big.At 9 he should be on an expert XL as the longest frame.Why not consider one of the GT racebikes from Rutland Cycles (£159.99) Although the model is called a pro,it is 19.75 or 20" toptube.

Excellent mate - I knew this was a good idea  :)

I've checked out rutland cycles and have found this

Too big again?
