Hi there all,
Just a quick break down, based in South Africa, 34 years old and looking for a BMX. So far, to buy new and something half decent im looking at around $525 (basing prices off current exchange rate) now thats just way out of budget at the moment to just get started. 90% of the used bikes for sale are Mongoose Subject bikes and from what iv looked up they great for kids starting out, but for an adult not so great, these are going for around $100 used. Mongoose are just about the only complete you can buy in store or on line locally. the L100 retails for between $300 - $350. I have found a company that brings in FIT bikes, there a complete im looking at $550 - $620. My question is do i go for the not so great mongoose or keep searching ? I have seen some old haro bikes come up for sale every now and then used for around $200. Should i just keep saving for one of these instead ? Im just dying to get a bike and go ride, but dont want something thats going to fall apart after a month.
