Pro Racer Bike Wanted

[BMX4444]

 Looking for a BMX Pro Racer Bike for my son.  Needs to be a complete bike and reasonably priced.  Just getting into the sport so nothing fancy yet.  Don't need any helmet, shoes etc.

What is the age and height of your son? There should be a few available at the track as the season starts up. Correct bike sizing is somewhat important especially as the rider gains experience.

He is 11.5 years old and about five foot tall.  I figured him for a pro size as he is growing like crazy.

He will grow into a pro size eventually. The general rule is that most riders need a pro size frame at around 14 years old and/or 5'6" of height. If you could find a good used expert size bike he would probably get a year or two out of it at which point you could turn around and re-sell it. Used BMX race bikes kind of average around $150 - $250 and hold that value for some time. The problem will be finding a used expert size bike, as they seem to be a little harder to find on the market. The first 2 - 4 weeks of the season always bring out used race bikes so be on the lookout at the track or on this board.
