My best mate who I go biking with but who isn't keen on any kind of physical exertion (i.e. climbing hills in order to cycle quickly down them) has hust ordered on of [url= http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/product/29365/Sunday_Model_C_24Inch_Bike_2010 ]these[/url]. Now I had hoped that he would go for a mountain bike or at least a jump bike as he was looking at a commencal for a while. Now I like BMX's and whilst they can be fun how can this bike retail at £549 with no forks no disc brakes and no expensive gearing.?

Your views.

I race with guys who spend well over a grand on their 20" BMX bikes. A couple of them weigh in at 18lbs on the button! Really fast machines!
DXR is well expensive kit too...

Sunday are a premium bmx brand like santa cruz really no better just more money. Nice bit of kit but I agree 4130 frame you'd expect that to come in sub 4ton.

thats cheap...back in the good old days of the mid 1980s a good cruiser bmx was often £1500...just look at mtb prices then...£1800+ for a cannondale hardtail...remmember bmx was a big market but alot of small companys producing handmade frames by just a few welders per company in most instances...i raced in the mid 80s and bikes were around £1000+ and at 16 i was earning £58 a week...the new SE racing bikes now seem like a bargin ....
