Just bear in mind that many of the big commercial companies like haro & gt tend to make pretty crappy entry level bikes more orientated to trying to look good through gimmicks etc and are actually pretty heavy, way overbuilt, and dont have great geometry.]
The GT's from the past two years have been some of the best entry level bmx's ever...if you check the weights you'll see that they've moved on from overbuilding them these days.
I looked at several otp bmx's last year and the GT's were better on weight and spec than pretty much all of them in the price range.
For a bmx around £200 they will always be heavier than top end bikes, but the GT's are great for the money in my opinion.
My son loves his.
For a start, how many people on here ever complained when they got their first bmx that the weight of the bike was limiting their ability to pull smooth 360 hops, or that the top tube was half an inch too long and was hampering their tail whips?
You got on it and rode it and had fun...and if it looked good too it was a bonus.
Seriously, check the weights and reviews of the GT's over other bikes in the price range and you'll see that for the money they're great bikes.
