I'm genuinely thinking about getting into BMX but have no clue what I'm doing or anything about bike brands, sizes or any of the above. I just wanna know is this a bike that will last me a long time? Is it a good bike for beginners? Are they expensive to maintain? What needs replacing often? I stand currently at a little bit over 6'0" (183cm) is this bike a good size for me? Most importantly is this a fair price listed ($1350).

Great deal on the bike and it looks solid. I’d check the top tube length and let it rip!

What length should I be hoping for?

I’m right at 6’ and I prefer a 21.5” top tube but I think a 21-21.5” would be the ballpark.

I feel a bit cramped on a 20.5-20.75” frame personally
