  • Son's dream bike

    Just purchased my 7 year old a Redline Proline Expert. He was needing a bigger bike so we decided to splurge. He put in his 126.00 and I footed the rest. The original deal was, I was gonna match what money he put in for a bike, but ultimately he hustled me into throwing way more in. This sucker cost more than his Yamaha 50cc dirt bike that he never rides , but I figure he'll get more use out of the BMX. Only shitty part is the overtime I'll have to work to fund his dream bike.

      Congrats to your son on the hustle!

      Street tires, to me, does not = BMX...

      And there is no way I'm paying $500 for a bike that won't do any more than a $200 bike will...

            I classify those styles of bikes as BMXs, but don't know specifically if it is or not.

                  That $500 bike will do it faster than a $200 bike will.

                    Ask any 7 year old, that is a true statement.

                          I had a kuwahara as a kid. It got stolen 3 times, didn't get it back the 3rd time unfortunately. But yes, those were good times.
