kk so yesterday i sold my dmr drone and got £270, i was dead set on one bike the khe barbados but i said why not have a look around some bike shops. so we were looking at some bmxs and dad was dealing with the sales assistant when i saw one i loved! a dark green, 25th chainring,straight cabled fit. i looked at it closer and as soon as i saw the price i fell for it i had to have it ! i rode it a bit had a proper look at it all of that crap and knew it was right!
anywhere here is some pics they are of bad quality i know but i think ull be ok!

Just go ride it until it breaks first.

Maybe new contact points like saddle, grips etc

Ride it until you break something or find something thats hindering your riding alot then go from there.

i always say that the best first upgrades are pedals, grips and tires. then some stuff like cutting seat post, brakeless(if it applies to you) adjusting the backend length(halflink maybe) and just dialling everything to work for you.

Just leave it until it breaks. It's a waist of money if you upgrade right out of the box. And a waist of parts.
