The many flashy colors and great looks available generate a feeling excitement! Have you considered all the choices and many features that are offered on the BMX bike you have in mind?
Do you know the drawbacks and short comings of the particular bike that you like? Does it have a three piece crank? Is the frame life time warranted? What is a lifetime warranty? Does it really even mean a lifetime? Is performance and longevity a concern for the bike? Is the bike designed for the type of use it will get used for?
This can be an important factor. What if something goes wrong with the bike? Will the shop that you purchase the bike from provide the warranty repair in house, or will the bike need to be sent into the manufacture for repair work? Sending it into the manufacture for repairs can mean that you are without the use of your bike for a time. What parts does the warranty cover? If a part fails that is not covered by the warranty it may become an added expense. Does the warranty pay for just parts or also the labor to replace those parts? Labor can be expensive on bikes.
