Not for me but for my mates lad . He's 9 and looking for a new school bike for xmas , his dads budget is around £200/300 .

I ain't got a clue but is there any brands / specific bikes you lads would recommend around that figure

It will be used mainly for street riding but he does venture upto Coppull BMX track on a weekly basis

Any help/advice i can pass on would would be appreciated

My 10p worth in order of desirability and street cred

Stereo bikes do one of the nicest looking completes for the money, and the low frame will help the youngun if hes not all that long on the leg

Our local track and the local lads aged 8-14 are all buzzing about subrosa, possibly becuase we now finally have a local dealer, or maybe because they make good little bikes with wicked decals

Speaks for itself, its a legendary name to have

hope this helps

Exactly what i first said to his Dad Gaz

but all his mates are rolling around on 20's and i don't think he wants to be the odd one out !
