He needs advise, not a snotty comment.

 

I know lots about MTB's, but nothing about BMX bikes, so it's a valid question.

Ja nee, I honestly don't see a difference between a game R600 bmx or a (what do they go for???)ZAR bmx...

This Schwinn is the only budget BMX in the Hub classifieds.

It is a bit dated, but seeing that the kid is just starting out, he will be able to do jumps and play around for years to come. Just check that the cranks are straight and listen for wasted BB bearings. It is a simple bike and will not need much maintenance in the use of a 6 year old.

 

I will offer the seller R800-1000 for it though.

 

Edit: offer less

This one is a great buy! This bike will last him 10 years. Great components, and very reputable brand. This bike will cost around R7000 new. Hopefully it is still available.

Just be wary of Scamtree.

Also a good buy.
