I'm looking for an 18" BMX for mini greaser #2. Does anyone have any recommendations? Even some tips on what to look for would be great as currently going on cromo frame or not and total weight. Budget is probably ~£300 and intended use is local skate parks and streets.
My eldest (8yo) has a Saracen Amplitude Source. Pretty good for the money, hes not broke anything yet. Cheap BMX's wont be light but he pedals it up hills fine.
something like these from a decent BMX shop

my two have a kink kicker and we the people curse
excellent little bikes, really well made and solid, most of the older kids who bmx in the park always want a go on them..
edit, just looked at the links above and theyre the exact models I got
my boy has a Diamond back remix from winstaley
I asked this same question on here & the answer was get him a 16" bike.
He's 8 & it's a much better fit.
So bought him a Diamond Back too.
It's bloody ace.

if it helps the 18 was bang on for mine
Taki, mines quite tall so the 18 was fine when he was 7, hes growing at a mighty rate so very glad I got the 18.
I did notice alot of the bikes are pretty much the same frame & spec but with different colorwayz.
Thanks for all the tips guys, much appreciated. Greaser #2 now in saving mode.
