I have just bought a DK 8 pack http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j149/lewis8592/c0_1_b.jpgfor £100 brand new. I was going to buy the six pack but i figured I could just get some cranks for the extra £100 it would have cost.
I need to know:
1. Was it a good price to pay?
2. Does any one know how heavy they are? I have just started riding BMX and I need a new bike as my other BMX is a mongoose sniper and it's quite heavy and hard to get air on. ( I know this because my uncle rides and he has a Hoffman and I can get alot more air on it.)
3. Are the wheels 20'?

Thanks

1. Don't know. Did you comparison shop?

2. Find a scale and weigh it.

3. Looks to be. Check the tire sidewall to verify.


Two out of three ain't bad ;)
