Title: Got a Jonny Foreigner?
Post by: 20to26 on August 24, 2009, 07:05 PM

Without opening a can of worms about Unknown BMX, I was wondering what the Jonny Foreigner is like - look blooming marvelous and would make a nice 26" winter bike I think. I wouldn't be thrashing it like a hardcore BMXer. Anyone got one or heard anything?

they are fookin top frames, strong and light, I can honestly say its the best bike I have ever jumped
Buy one, at £180 from Parkers they are cheap, if you are paying less then its a fookin steal  :daumenhoch:

thanks for that - how steep is that headtube, and any idea what the other specs are?
Yours looks slightly slacker with the suspension fork up front but I was thinking of the fully rigid setup myself - how different is the handling?

Handling is the same mostly (jumping is marginally different cos of the forks), I have had both on mine, the suspension gives you more room, I have big feet and am quite tall  :daumenhoch:
