Not your usual heavy BMX, this is a proper race machine. Very light with full 6061 frame. My son's used it for a year, so it's got some signs of use, but it's got plenty of life left in it.
Bad parts are that the paintwork isn't pristine up close and it's had some chain slap around the upper rear stay, but it's been covered with a protector since I noticed it. There's also a ding (half the size of a new 5p piece ) in the underside of the downtube. None of this is structural, merely cosmetic.
Good parts are that the BB's been serviced and fitted with 5 grade ball bearings, tyres are recent Schwalbe Jumping Jacks, the rear brake cable's been renewed, an entire new front brake's been fitted so it's legal to use on the road and I've fitted brand new GT Kraton grips.
New, the bike is selling for £300. Judging by recent ebay auctions, I'd like around £140 for it.
Bike is in Exeter. PM me if you'd like photos.
