l4y3rcake Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Hi guys I'm urgently looking for a racing bmx for my son for Christmas. I have posted on the gauteng BMX Facebook page and been through all the clasifieds. I have called shops that I know of that sell bmx bikes. I need a micro and they are very scarce by the sound of things. Does anyone know of someone who has a small kid that has outgrown a micro bmx or where to look for a new one. Most shops are only getting new stock in Jan. I have looked at personally importing but this is very expensive. Shipping and duties cost as much as the bike itself. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

milky4130 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 How tall is your little guy, this mini might just work for him?
milky4130 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 You can also try the guys at cyclesafrica.co.za they use to do complete bikes & frames of all sizes but looks like their stock is limited these days, they might just be able to put you on the right path.
l4y3rcake Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 How tall is your little guy, this mini might just work for him?Thanks Milky He is 3 and this will be his first pedal bike. He has been racing striders for the last year so we have spent plenty time at the tracks. He definitely needs a micro. Problem is most kids only start riding at 5-6 yrs in SA so they start on minis. I'll ask the cycle Africa guys.

BMXER Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 What is your budget? A mini will be too big, you certainly need a micro.
l4y3rcake Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 What is your budget?A mini will be too big, you certainly need a micro.I have not set a budget yet. I am currently considering bringing a DK Sprinter in through CRC.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/dk-sprinter-micro-bmx-bike-2015/rp-prod138389
