Not sure what size it is or brand but to me it looks half deecent. Anyone with some knowledge tell me if thats a wal-mart ride or something a bit nicer? Thanks
I don’t like that there’s no markings anywhere on it- it’s definitely been cobbled together from… something – that sprocket has been mounted backwards from what used to be a bossed crank setup. Most of it has been painted yellow????? I realize you sent a screenshot, is there any other information on the bike?
I also don’t like the fact that it’s wet. One of the oldest tricks in the car selling game is to make a car look shinier than it is by taking pictures of it wet. Maybe I’m being overly analytical, but there’s a lot of alarm bells here.

I would pass. Hard to tell but looks like it might be a half step up from a Walmart bike. Keep looking.

20” GT Air yellow BMX perhaps? Looks awfully similar besides the gooseneck

Avoid.
Definitely some box store bike made to look better than it is.
Forks look whack and nothing like a modern style bmx fork; bars look hella short; headset isn’t even cartridge/sealed… and buddy drenched it in water. Can’t see the bottom bracket bearing too well but the outline makes me think it’s an American caged bearing which are also no good. Those bearings alone will be a pain if you’re using it for any sort of tricks.
And a railed seat.
You’ll end up spending a lot more just to fix things as they end up wearing out on you.
I would consider upping your budget or finding another deal.

Looks really cheap and suspect. Better off being patient to find something actually legit or paying more for something you know for sure is a solid complete.

Nope

Somebody’s Walmart beater with a crappy paint job and “new” crank. Not for $150. $20 for the crank and that is about it.

Reminds me of Matt Hoffman’s old bike
