Thanks for your message
My son is only 9 so presently only use for school runs but has dreams of using the bike for jumps and scrambling perhaps racing in the future.
Thank you

If we're doing thinly veiled sales, I've got my used Formula Solution Pro cruiser you can have for £250 (imported from the US).

It's a big version of this (which is a mini).

Like others have said a cruiser is a BIG bike for a 9 year old. (It's all in the TT length)

Bmx race cruisers come in all sizes for different ages. I have several cruiser race frames in the shed I'll measure the top-tubes tomorrow. Expert cruiser I think is about a 19 inch tt.

[url= http://www.usabmx.com/tracks/1709/pages/492 ]size chart click here[/url]

Have a look at the above tables and go from there. AFAIK Red line do 3 different models in each size. Different components and weights stipulate prices.
The " flight ", " proline" & the " MX ". The flight being the dearest, lightest, bestest etc.

I think GT also do basic to high-end models.
