Back in the eighties when I was in my teens BMX was my world. Life happened, I stopped riding and now I'm 43 and looking to buy a bike for street and tricks. Back then GT, Haro and Mongoose ruled the scene, mostly. I see so many brands nowadays that I know nothing of and it's been very tough to make a decision. Can you help an Old school newbie?
This is where I'm at now: My budget is around $500, I'm 6'2 200+ lbs so I think the minimum toptube should be at least '21 (would 20.5 make much of difference? or should I go higher?).
The only brand I know and trust is HARO. I would really appreciate recommendations on the newer brands. (
Finally, what's your go to place for quality and price? Online or otherwise? I'm a family man and the word budget is just mandatory. Thank you all!
So what did you end up getting?
