Right I want to get a NS rider to get back into rolling around parks and maybe dirt haven't a clue on what I'm looking for so need help.

Reckon I wanna do the ebay route and don't want it too heavy (what's with todays weights) but with brakes (what's no brakes all about

)

How much do you wanna spend?

There's loads to choose from, decent new completes from around £350 upwards

If you see summat on ebay stick a link up and ask if its any good?

New school is the way to go if you want to ride... so you're doing the right thing...

Give Stodgy a call at the RADBMX shop, he's got some superb WeThePeople completes for about £350 which are superb out of the box! i was there a few weeks back and i couldn't believe the spec and how well put together they are!
