Welcome to Rad. There are always plenty of bikes being sold in the 'for sale' section. Prob a good
idea to purchase a 'site supporter tag' too as it will make making purchases a whole lot easier. -Vaughan

I would try and get over to the MK festival and ask if you can have a ride on a few cruisers as you may not want one if you try a bigger modern BMX with a large top-tube. There are also a good few bargains to be had as no postage and cash usually talks.

I've also got a 22" wheeled BMX which rides fantastic and you may enjoy more than a bigger 24". Just a thought before you east your money. I paid £200 for the complete bike second hand and it is all new-school geometry and technology, so worth trying the sizes out. They come up every now and then and my brother has one in the box he might sell if you get on with one.

Failing that, call over to Leicester this friday evening and i'll bring it to the Boardroom Skatepark for you to try?

You can get some good cruisers 2nd had. Pretty much any adult cruiser should do the job, you'd be looking for a top tube of 21 1/4 inch or more. Excellent good value complete cruisers from Redline, Haro, DK, Intense, Felt etc, as well as top notch frames from Dialled, Supercross.
