Mafia Bikes

[BMX1973]

Anyone owned or have a Mafia Bike? What are they like compared to the rest?   

[stidds]

They are great bikes, but the main problem is that if you ride any other sort of bike at all and they find out you will wake up with a horses head on the bed next to you as a warning   

[Devilock]

Nice looking budget builds.

they're now sponsoring Tom Justice - can't imagine him doing their sales any harm 

[Jaymz]

They're the modern day burner, I see loads of lads ripping about on them

I won a 24" blackjack, the frame forks were built very nicely, the parts were fudge, the stem and cranks looked like they'd been cast from plasticine, the steel sprocket was somewhat flexy, wheels and tyres were ok.

I sold it proper cheap to xgoose dan he took it back to Hong Kong and abused it! Ask him for a durability report

I was looking at them on ebay and they are selling a dozen or more a day.  Thought they would be a good budget buy.

They're probably fine. Some of the builds look stylish enough. I've no idea which components are used...

No warranty

[Dark Diggler]

Perfect for 99.99% of the people who ride them

[BMX1973]

Don't they come with a warranty?  Surely anything sold new would have one year! 

No warranty

There was a used one at the auction I went to Tuesday, looked ok but I thought £10 was too much to spend on it so stopped bidding at £8

Surely tom justice is running mafia bikes decals on a different higher end frame.they would never hold up to that style of riding,they look like toys.

that nothing like a burner  . my daughter has one and loves it , yes the parts are just low end bits but compared to most of the crap that halfords sell there good bmx`s for kids that want to get into bmx and price is good too. 

[BMX1973]

I've never seen one up close. Are they only available online?

I didn't mean they were boat anchors and poop like most of the burners, what I meant was they are as popular as burners were bitd as an entry level rider, you can spot them a mile off around my way as theyre all the frames with no stickers on as all the kids have de branded them!!  in 25 years times there will be forums dedicated to the restoration of them, and fights over era correctness!!

maybe you meant they'll be millions of kids all excited when they get them on Christmas morning, only to feel the pain of shame and disappointment 6 months later when they realise how shyte they are??     (i'm joking before any Burner fans jump down my neck)

to be honest most of the kids i see round here ride terrible bmx`s from barracuda  so on ,if just two of them rode something with better angles would be a good thing in my view .
  at the end of the day the more kids riding bmx the better what ever make or model as good for the sport
