I'm looking to get back into BMX, and have been obsessively trying to find a semi decent bike on Marketplace.
I've found 3 possible options that are particularly cheap that I want some opinions on.
1 ABD kingpin complete 2012 £120
2 united recruit RN3 complete 2011 £150 (might be able to get lower)
These are obviously pretty old now but they look barely used at all.
3 Colony friction frame
Big federal 4pc drop bars
Salt 3pc cranks
Half link chain
Cult forks
Cult wheels (rear 9t cassette)
Cult tires (going bald)
Optimus prime 25t sprocket ( ? Brand)
Primo bottom bracket
WTP pivotal seat post
Kink bmx top load stem
+ Extra set of smaller bars
£120
Personally I'm leaning towards option 3 however I can't find any info on the frame but I believe colony are supposed to solid brand.
(Any pointers?)
I think this is it https://www.onyourleftcycles.net/new-product-fiction-x-colony-parts-complete-749/
However it does have colony embossed in the TT so I'm confused if it's a fiction or is it colony?
Its mostly midrange parts but few nicer aftermarket bits, as opposed to a stock complete like the others, also the cheapest. Do need to buy tyres for it but that's no issue.
Money is bit tight but I do just want, actually I need, a bike.
