Just finished this build for my 11 year old daughter, she's been hounding me for weeks about building a BMX she can roll with her friends, so I set about finding a suitable starting point.
This Diamond Back Demon and an odd ball generic BMX turned up at a local recycling depot and was duly loaded into the boot in exchange for £15. We then set about stripping both bikes to see what could be restored and used and what was scrap, as this was going to be a rider I wasn't too fussed about the sh!te components so long as it was safe and the brakes worked, it would do as she'd probably lose interest once school starts up again.
Following a respray in Electric Orange and a raid of my spare bits boxes, we came up with this..
