  • Got a couple of pump track options near me, has me thinking I should pick up a bmx. Haven’t ridden bmx since I had a Haro in my early teenage years (sadly got mugged for it one morning doing my paper round), what should I look for on eBay that will be not completely shit but won’t set me back a fortune?

  • Advice I received (possibly in this thread even) was 21"+ top tube is best - more dirt jump focused for pump track - 21" frame size seems to push you toward more legit bikes rather than cheapy kids stuff which tend to be smaller.
    If its just for pump track a 24" wheel size race/cruiser thing is also good - this looks pretty sick for the money.

    I also thought a smallish 90s mtb could make a good budget pump track option if it wasn't too heavy and you stripped it down to a single speed setup with a short stem , wide bars and some baloony tyres.

    I do have a slightly too small GT team avalanche hanging on the wall in the garage that was supposed to be ending life as a pub bike but this is actually a much better fate for it
