Stretched@Birth Posted January 5, 2017 Share I need some assistance from the BMX Experts please. I bought two BMX frames and forks, with some other random bits and pieces. I'd like to know, are they worth anything, do I spend time and $$$ to build them properly, or do I do a "cheap" build and let the kids abuse them? The first is a GT, Alu frame, Power Series Ultra Box. Internal cable routing, 6051 Aluminium frame: http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170105/5642fa004a052e0ca42b362d77e1a5d7.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170105/d079881e3154d8d836ce97a2d5404828.jpg The second is a Haro, no identifiers except for the Haro badge and a serial number on the BB shell. Chromed frame: http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170105/6acf85c8991b873b4f38f2eaf17c12eb.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170105/a8ce2ff75293f60b24bd026e7786f793.jpg Edit: added Haro info Edited January 5, 2017 by Stretched@Birth Bobbo_SA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky4130 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Proper & decent frames there, I'd take the time & money to build them proper. Not only will it last longer you can let the kids getting into racing. Will teach good skills that will stand them in good stead when they transition into road or Mtb. Stretched@Birth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMXER Posted January 5, 2017 Share The GT is a good frame and race worthy. The hard is not a race frame. Just cost your build to ensure financial viability but importantly availability of parts. Stretched@Birth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockHound Posted January 5, 2017 Share Ok boys and girls, Bought the lightie one off Chain Reaction, as he's been itching to ride it to school.....live in the U.K. Not a cheap one mind you. About €450rr He's a very accomplished MTB, and Road rider, and has done some track sessions.... He's now saying he'd like to give the BMX league a go... How do you know what is good for racing? Race worthy vs not race worthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
