His mates will slag him off for the MaxMax choice, its good idea to read reviews that arent written by the salesmen when choosing!

The guy all but offered me a ride, but I didnt fancy learning on tarmac.. :D

This should all be carried out whilst wearing tweed and possibly with a pipe clamped twixt teeth.

Anything else will just end up in son wondering how to get dad to A&E!

I did think about getting one of these but the Maxmax worked out cheaper.

Currently riding an old steel rigid single speed MTB.
New bike is obviously required here, but should I look for a 24" Cruiser BMX, or a 26" Dirt Jumper? Ideas? (BTW big lad is 6'4")
