BMX suggestions!

[Jhorn]

Recently i managed to break my mountain bike and i have been quoted £100 to get it fixed! I'm a student at university and having a bike useful but im loathed to pay for a new one when the one i own is under guarantee at home. As a result i have decided i would like a BMX to mess around on at university and i will get my mountain bike fixed when i go home.

Does anyone know much about BMX's and could inform me about a good BMX to start with. All i will use it for is a bit of riding and maybe try getting into some basic tricks like bunny-hop and manual! I guess my budget is around £150 so if anyone has suggestions (second hand is absolutely fine!) let me know!

Cheers!

Mongoose. their bikes are excellent and won't break the bank. they've been making BMX and other bikes since, like, the 70s. Cool vid.

I got my mongoose Tyax Elite mountainbike for £230 from Evans Cycles. It really is a good bike. Their BMX range is here and within your budget.

But take a look online, research what YOU want. Still, here's a quick review set for you.

Moongoose all the way.

Alansbmx.com have a few going for under £150, I reckon thats a good place to start.
Might I enquire what exactly broke on your bike? 100 seems steep repair cost, unless youve totalled multiple parts, I cant think how you could have done that much damage to it.

Keep an eye out for a Ruption dealer. In the sub £200 market, their bikes spec-for-spec tend to come in around £20 cheaper RRP than the competition.
