€150 EURO for that, please take a look at chainreaction or wiggle, you can get a BRAND NEW mongoose or haro for less than that.
resale of second hand goods is usually a third of the sale price if in
MINT condition, that is worth about 20/30 euro mate

Whats your budget?

BMX wise, i always sway towards wethepeople.

The four seasons is the nicest of the lot IMO, but it is pricey, not for a newbie.
There are some cheaper ones in there, that are far better than other in their price range.

It's a pity you didn't give it a bit more than a week of research before mouthing off. The components on the S&M are higher standard than a cheap Haro, and I know because I have a cheap Haro.

mouthing off, no i dont think so, components of a higher standard or not, that is not worth that kind of money regardless,
i used the haro/ mongoose as a comparision in regard too you can get a new one cheaper than that piece of poo...
gready people make nothing in the end apart from a lot of noise and hot air, mouthing off,, im from south london thats not even getting started lol

You can buy a brand new Nissan Micra for the same price as a ten year old Porsche... I know which I would prefer. You are not comparing like with like.

Thanks for the replys.

I guess I would be willing to spend 300 euro-ish on one. I just want to get something that would be a good entry level bike into the bmxing world.

I bought a Haro F2 from Duffys in Santry for about 270. i think Similar prices on-line. It's pretty good, I'm an feather weight at almost 17 stone and so far I've mashed it a few times and all that's off is a bend pedal and some wheels that need truing

Is a second hand Stolen Getaway 2007 BMX for €120 a good deal?
