Looking to get my son a new BMX but am unsure of the good makes and the makes to stay clear of.
Hes coming up to 11 and wants a new bike for his birthday. He currently got a GT bmx.

my 13 year old has a "we the people" trust, seems pretty good quality, however as any teenage lad does, its on it 5th set of wheels, brakes stripped off it, stickers removed, currently being rebuilt in my garage with bits everywhere!!
Wish I had got a Haro Freestyler frame back in the day. Still got my eighties BMX complete with Skyways etc. It is a bizarre British made TRM Reynolds 531 quadrangle frame but the geometry is all wrong. Looks good though.
depends how much you want to spend...complete Taiwanese made bikes are pretty good quality these days...no need to go for American made framesets thanks to Hoffman sorting out the build quality over there.
off the top of my head; we the people, subrosa, federal, f-it, colony, mutiny, eastern...all have reasonable offerings at various price points. I run a mutiny frame fwiw.
all the above should elicit the required envy from his friends
a lad I know can get these for £100 plus delivery, cime in different colours and to be fair if I was still into bmx, id have one, the disc brakes look great

photobucket is blocked at work...but even without seeing the pictures; £100 bike with disk brakes is not BMX...don't put your boy through it Wish
it looks like a well made frame mate, and Ive snapped my fair amount of frames to know a good one
BMX frame design and material use has changed fundamentally over the last ten years, let alone since back in the day when we all landed to flat and broke and snapped the head tube\rear triangle off your wafer thin super goose or freestyler...its unlikely an 11 year old is going to be snapping anything...he (and all his mates), will however know what's good and what's not though
Federal, Fit, Kink, S&M, Hoffman, we The People, Proper Bikes, Standard.
Standard and S&M are still US only built so £300+ for frame only...forgot about Proper, English bike company run by Carlo Griggs an old school vert rider who still rules
