What kind of riding do you plan on doing? Most BMX bikes nowadays are not made for sitting down like old school BMX bikes were. My knees would self destruct if I tried riding that around the block trying to ride it comfortably...aka sitting down pedaling. Mind you I did my time riding BMX not too long ago but the newer stuff is like apples to oranges to the stuff I used to ride. And I used to ride back in the 90's. I was actually thinking of picking up a 24" cruiser since I picked up a Micro Mini race bike for my son to try out racing and give it another go around for myself. lol
