Found a bmx for my eldest girl, think it is a brand they sell in halfords!

It's White and has x-rated stickers on it, some have been removed not very well! The brakes need a little attention just cable work!
But there is a ball bearing rolling around in the frame?!?!
The lad wants £40 for it as he bought it second hand for £80 in October!

Will try and knock him down to £35

it also had a gt headset on it which I though mmmm, must have been changed at some point!

I have photo on my phone but stuck at work and writing this on my phone also!

Just wonderd if you guys had any ideas?

I did think I could get some rad bmx stickers for it, do you do them in pink?

How old is your nipper... I recently finished a build for my 8 year old girl

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=105505.0

I've got an orange cable for it now and sprayed the seat post...

things I had to watch for was the general weight and also length of the crank... she was well happy in the end and now rides it everyday

She is 9, but quite tall, a bloke at work said the same about the crank and the chain rain! He has one for sale too and is bringing it in tomorrow for me to have a look at!

Sounds a good one but the crank has gone, so it will need a new one! but he said every thing else is sound!

He didn't remember the make but said it would be better than the one from halfords!

Love the build you done for your nipper!

Will keep you posted! Don't start work till 4 pm!

It was a Khe bike, light blue in colour, it's in bits will try and take some photos!

£30 is what he wants, needs headset bearings it has had new sealed bearings for the crank, just needs a new crank shaft (you know) maybe some bigger chain rings!
