Hi all! I’m looking to get my first BMX bike. I’ve got decent experience with mountain biking and have wanted to get into it for a while. I found a guy selling two bikes, both for $100, and need help deciding which would be a better first bike for my needs. My plan is to stick with hop related stuff on the street for a while before going into anything in a skatepark.
The first bike is a (2011?) Haro 300.3 (not sure whether 20.5″ or 21″ top tube), front and rear brake, chromoly down tube, almost 30 pounds.
The second bike is a SE Racing Bronco, can’t fit the exact model/year online to look at specs but I assume it’s aluminum and a lot lighter. Looks a bit cheasy to me, has only rear brake.
I know very little about these brands/their built quality/reputation. I’m tempted to go with the light bike to make hops easier, but the Haro seems like a better quality bike. I’d love input from you all as to which would overall be a better first bike. Thanks so much!

Neither honestly. Keep looking for a better deal.
