L'il help....is this Craigslist bike any good?
 

Hi guys, I am looking to get a nice BMX for my nephew's B-day and things are tight so I have to get something used and I saw this ad on CL; what do you folks think? Good deal? He is turning 10 and wanted a cool ride now that he is in the double digits. Any help is appreciated, I don't know much about BMX bikes, I am a roadie/fixie kinda guy, thanks.

For a 10 year old, it will be fine. Definitely won't give him street cred, though.

Heheheh, that is good, he is already got a bit of a rep anyways ;)

What about the price? Is this a decent deal or should I wait for something better bike-wise and price-wise to come along? His b-day isn't for a little bit, so there is no rush. Thanks again.

It's not a very good price for a pretty ****ty bike. Go to danscomp.com and do him a favor and buy him a good bike if you think he is going to get into the sport... it'll pay off in the long run.

Okay, thanks guys, this has been very helpful, cheers :)

Not for the skate park.

That guy got ripped off if he bought it new for $450. Defintly not even worth the money.
