I am looking at some bike and a guy offered me a schwinn bmx raider special zzxr (his words). I searched it and couldn't find anything on it, I even went to their website and didn't find anything.

He said it cost him $165 so I already know it isn't the best bike in the world, but I wanted to no you alls input. He said he would sell it for $85.

This will be my first bike, but I am saving up for a Haro F3 probably, so I just get this one and not the F3 or wait and get the F3. Thanks.

P.S. What would be the maximum you would pay for a bike like this, minor damage.

That would suck if it was it, but I don't think it is for some reason. The guy sounded like he was better than that.

Doesn't seem like it. I have a feeling he's trying to gyp(sp?) you.

"gyp" is correct; it's short for "gypsy"
