I'm 6ft and sadly way beyond the age accepted as "normal" for a BMX, yet I am sorely tempted.
The size is more my concern than the price - Anyone else any thoughts?

[i][b]Specifically how old is too old and how big is too big for this bike?[/i][/b]

Id be more tempted to ask "How sore are the boys on BMXs these days?"

Thats a fair point, 1 all I suppose, but surely not much worse than dirt jumping or downhilling tomfoolery?

Is it a coincidence there's an advert for a baby care website above the BMX?
