Hi!
My 8 year old is almost 140 cm and im looking for a nice bmx for him. I feel like he is between 16" and 18" size reading some of the posts here? That's refering to both wheel and top tube size right? Some argue 16" is best for kids to be able to use maneuvre the bike on ramps etc, but others argue 18" is best for his size and that they grow into it?
Looking at brands also but there are very few 18" bikes available in my country Denmark. Not a big BMX community here unfortunately, so no physical stores. Would like a WTP or Sunday bike as I read those are good.
Only one I found is this for 18":

Both have some Hi Ten but cromo tube at the frame. Both are reduced quite nicely and if u can get the WTP. These are made in Germany and quality is superbe.
My 6 yo daughter has the wtp seed and it’s an awesome bike. But I’d say it’s probably too small for a 140cm kid. My daughter is 118 cm with shoes on and the bike fits her pretty well
