I want to thank all the riders who are 40 years old and older for inspiring me to go out and find a used 20 inch Bmx bike. I used to ride in the late 1980s mostly flatland and street. For the past few years, I have been riding 26 and 29 inch cruisers. I was curious as to what a modern 20 inch BMX bike would feel like. I found this lightly ridden Sunday Scout on FB. I cleaned it up and inflated the tires when I got home yesterday and I messed around in the driveway just a little bit. I still can’t believe how small they are. But wow, they are so sturdy and maneuverable. I’m not expecting myself to do any big jumps or tricks like I used to. Just the nostalgia of riding around in the driveway and up and down the street on a 20 inch bike yesterday was pretty cool. 😎 I’m 54 and 5ft 11, 190 pounds. I believe the bike I purchased has a 21 inch tt, which would work with my height.

Great color.
Dayum. Looks like a rich kid’s 20-minute-infatuation bike. Good second life with a dude who will use it properly. Good shredding my guy!
I’ll give you 190 for it 🤣
Thats a pretty good score for the price. 48 still rolling. Enjoy.
Not a bad find!
Sweet bike! Watch out, before you know it you will be back doing those jumps and tricks like you used to! Happened to me a couple years ago, basically same story, I’d been riding 29ers for a few a years and thought “hey, it might be fun to pick up a modern 20″ and see how things have progressed from when I rode”. 2 years later I’m riding 20″ at the skatepark a few nights a week and having a blast with it, just put together a flatland bike too. 55, 5′ 11″ and 205 here, you get used to the size again real quick.
