Title: New school bike recommendations/help
Post by: don on March 23, 2011, 10:18 PM
Right I want to get a NS rider to get back into rolling around parks and maybe dirt haven't a clue on what I'm looking for so need help.

Reckon I wanna do the ebay route and don't want it too heavy (what's with todays weights) but with brakes (what's no brakes all about  ???)

How much do you wanna spend?

There's loads to choose from, decent new completes from around £350 upwards

If you see summat on ebay stick a link up and ask if its any good?

New school is the way to go if you want to ride... so you're doing the right thing...  :daumenhoch:

Give Stodgy a call at the RADBMX shop, he's got some superb WeThePeople completes for about £350 which are superb out of the box!  i was there a few weeks back and i couldn't believe the spec and how well put together they are!  :daumenhoch:
