Are there any kids out there in need of a flash new, shiny red bike with rad as lights in the wheels??

This bike has been ridden only a handful of times and is in perfect condition!

Looking for $70 (paid a tonne more for it)

The Rocket Blast is a BMX styled 20'' kids Bike packed with fun, the single gear is uncomplicated for young riders and low maintenance, the aluminium frame construction keeps the weight down while also being much more corrosion resistant than a steel frame. The rear coaster brake inspires confidence while the special kid's specific short reach front brake lever allows the rider to learn to use handlebar brakes with ease. This is the perfect Bike for knocking around the neighbourhood or skate park.

Price: $70
