They might actually be WTB dirt drop bars...difficult to tell from that angle but the top straight section doesn't look quite wide enough for midges...and also Matt Chester used WTB bars all the time before the midges were available.
Of course they could be midges still....like i say, hard to tell from that angle. -
WOW...could this be? A major corp bmx company making an entry level bike that is lighter and better specced than the equivalent from the small rider owned companies that you've been saying are better?
How could a small rider owned company even begin to compete at that price range with the majors who have huge budgets and so have access to better components and production techniques for less money, and who specialises in making entry level bmx's. Where as the only reason the rider owned companies have bikes that cheap in their range is because they're trying to look like they offer a full range...so they have to settle for poorer quality components in order to reach the required price bracket...the frames they offer at that price range aren't even worth upgrading either.
Like i said all along...for bmx's at this price range....the majors offer better bikes..they may not seem as cool to the 'proper' bmxers, but they ARE better bikes for the same money. End of.

In my opinion...get a bmx that doesn't have pegs, giros, or any other gimmicky shit on it, and that he likes the look of and he'll be plenty happy....then if he starts getting really into it then you can look towards more expensive and lighter bikes.
Half the reason i see so many new mountain bikers crashing on the trails is because they never put in the time on the heavier rigid bikes that people did years ago and so they never learned the same skills and gained the strength...they go out and buy a full suss bike with disc brakes and just get too used to the bike doing the work.
It's also a good way to teach kids the value of things...that if you want the finer things in life you have to work towards them and put your time in on the cheaper stuff first.
If you can get him a superlight bmx for the right price that will stand up to being thrown on the floor and crashed like a kids bike will be then get it....otherwise, like i say...get one from a trusted company that he likes the look of and will be happy to ride with his mates. -
But what £200 otp bmx is gonna be significantly lighter than any others?
The Gt was about the best i found weight wise. Obviously if you can afford to get your 12 year old an expensive and lightweight bmx that's ok...but for all we know the kid in question could get bored of it in a years time and may only even use it to get around on. That's why people buy cheaper bikes to start their kids off on. -
Get one from cycle underground...great quality rings.
