could be anything to be honest.  Looking at the components it looks to be a complete of around £300 new, something like a United recruit?

You're on fire Rob (well, not literally) - that looks like a United logo on the seat  :daumenhoch:

United Recruit RN2 2011 by the looks:

Hi-ten frame etc. Good for someone of a non-weighty persuasion - rules out 99% of this forum  :LolLolLolLol:

Awesome guys, thank you very much! Paid £30 so I am happy. Needs a new rear tyre and brake pads!

I am not an expert on BMX's  and never heard of United, are they any good?

Put the tires and brake pads on.  Could you tell me how I setup the brakes/pads, I have put a small spacer between the pad and the caliper, do I need to remove slack from cable and add more spacers? Sorry for silly question! :).

You don't need the front brake on it, they look pants and you'll only need the rear  :daumenhoch:
