New to the bmx scene... Ride abit of street on the Yeti.. But fancy getting a bmx!

I know a little bit about the brands but not much. There are two iv seen which I like.. One is a United Recruit RN1 2013, The other is a Vandals Troop 2013!!

I know that United as a manufacturer is pretty good, But never heard of Vandals??? Is it any good and worth the money?

PLEASE recommend any better bikes around £300

Heres the link to the bikes..

If you are wanting to get the best quality bike for you money, buy second hand. You'll get a bike thats twice as good, with only a few scratches and maybe a dent. But who cares, i just bought a bike off here second hand and its got the spec of probably a custom that costs around the £1000 mark, just to put things into perspective. Oh, and i wouldnt personally recommend vandal as they're not really an 'out-there' brand, but united's a good brand and i'll vouch for that. If you've got your heart set on a brand new bike, i'd recommend a fit, united or a wethepeople.

Agreed, second hand all the way. Check what's on ebay in your local area to avoid packaging costs, it might take some time stalking but you'll get a hell of a lot more bike for your money.

I went for a bike that was a new brand at the time and It payed off, vandals look pretty solid and not a bad spec.However have a look at the second hand market (as luke2214 recommended) however you are not destined to get a much better bike.
