ChrisWeir wrote Nice bikes man . i'd imagine they're atleast 1000 for each but ?Not at all, the bikes he used for the BMX section are pretty old, therefore they are cheap, the bikes he listed there are mostly steel, the newer BMX bikes are 4130 chromoly, one more thing, BMX is classed at 20" and under, i really dont know why on earth you have a 26" MTB in the BMX section, that confused me.
