Nope. Hi tensile steel frame = heavy = deal breaker. You want chromoly. Find a used one with better frame and parts.
Where you located?
sourcebmx.com is a good place to look at. It has complet bikes and parts. Freestyle and race. Also more bikes from beginner intermediate and pro bikes. Check it out that’s whare I’ve got most of my stuff from
Id go for a wethepeople personally, I’ve ridden a few and they’re nice prebuilt that aren’t too much
What does a “Women’s” BMX look like?
For 200 bucks its not crazy bad.. all the talk about hi tin.. and cromo is true.. if.. your doing major drops.. bug transitions. Really hardy stuff.. but tbh. Half the people who say cromo or bust…wouldn’t even stress a hi tin frame enough for it to matter ..
With that said.. you do want full cromo if you can find. Will be hard for 200 or less, unless used. But still possible.
If just coming back and dont plan to do big heavy stuff. Maybe get flow back and balance. It’ll do its job. Then can also sell/trade up. ..
All and all. This bike is just OK. And would want to transition eventually but for 200. Not the worst situation.
good price, but no.
