Thanks very much Blobby – Tadcaster here I come !!

46 year old here – got a WeThePeople Versus from Fleabay last year for £80.

It is my first bmx and great fun at my local pump track in York.

Get one !!

Just got my first BMX at the weekend and I’m 46 !!

Wethepeople Versus 2011 in black and green.

Off to the pump track with my little lad, hoody and skinny jeans.

I have a pair of Vans Farlane shoes somewhere too.

Never ridden bmx before, but before I committed, I just checked the bike in the same place I would have on any other bike.

Great posts thanks – just so you know, I have never ridden bmx bike before, so as previously stated – what could go wrong?

Thinking second hand now – anyone rate wethepeople? they seem to be popular on the bay of E

Thanks to all so far.

If I go second hand, are there any brand recommendations I should look out for?

I’m just under 6ft, so think the 20″ frame should be ok.

Got the skinny jeans, but not the skinny legs!!

Wow…

Was looking at the R2 too. According to the exchange rate today, it makes it £1,490.29 !! Saving £500 for new wheels.

No postage cost, but is there any import costs etc?

Thanks very much everyone, I’ve gone for some single ring chain bolts using my existing middle ring to start off with. If ok, I’ll go for a dedicated wide/narrow ring.

Thanks again

Thanks Dave – any recommendations on the bolts and chainring?

Thanks again everyone. Had a HJob in the past, but now ride a Yeti as I’m getting old. Always wanted a Stiffee for play bike, so lookny forward to the build!

Great – thanks very much

Thanks for the reply, I guess its NOT a tapered headtube and just straight?

Cheers Gnusmas

Bump….Anyone?

Sorry for the delay. Internally it looks to be approx 30mm if that helps

Thanks everyone – seems I was too slow to get the used chipset and axle.

Is Yetifan my best bet for the kit, or is it cheaper we elsewhere?

Bump……
Any experiences or advice?

Thanks very much for your thoughts and experiences

Gutted for you. Will keep my eyes open in the north of York

Bimp for any more please?

Thanks Jack and Jota

Anymore from anyone?

Some on the bay of E including new if you want to go ASR 5c. Everyone went for the SB66 and now the SB5c is out they are getting harder to find.

Still love mine for the trails- good luck

Gutted for you mate.
Am in York, so will keep my eyes open for you.

Thanks very much everyone, I’ll get the OS map out and plan.

Anyone else offering advice?

Cheers all

I ride a Yeti ASR 5, if that helps at all, but don’t see why it should.

I didn’t measure them to be fair – schoolboy error.

Anyone else ?

Thanks Nonk

Anyone else help me with this please?

Welcome to the Tribe !

Bump – anyone?

Good stuff so far – thanks

Any more recommendations?

Yeti ASR5 = awesome ride 127mm rear and 140/120mm up front. Frames reduced at the moment too.

Sorry to hear of the theft.

I’m in York, do will keep a look out. Any pics available and where in York was it stolen?

My contribution to the thread.

105 and Cosmic elites = love it

Goals?
I have a budget of £320 and would obviously like the moon on a stick – strong, light, fast, cheap etc.

Whatever is best bang for my buck really, but strength will be important as I’m 100 kgs

Nothing on the website, I could contact the shop selling the frame?

Thanks very much everyone – great information

Thanks very much so far, hadn’t considered the CO2 option.

Anymore recommendations or endorsements?

Really sorry to hear about your troubles.

I’m in Rawcliffe, so will keep a look out. My GF works in the city and I’ll get her to keep her eyes open too.

Good luck

I’m 5’10 and a bit – ride a 2012 ASR5A medium with 70mm stem. Tested at JD cycles and purchased through them. Great bike and great guys at the shop – highly recommended. I’m in York if that helps Dickie?

Cheers Willy. Much appreciated

Anyone else?

Thanks very much for your responses. Alway carry a chain breaker, but wondered if I needed more that my basic multi-tool and I guess I don’t.

You just saved more some money, so thanks again.

Thanks very much – so glad I have one too
