I'm after a BMX, but I only have a budget of upto £160.
I was looking at this:

It's £149.99 on't web.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Is Felt a brand name?
I'm a total newbie at this. That's why my budget is quite small. It's mainly to get to and from work, which is like 5 mins away, but also for a bit of fun.

Cool Nath. Go for it son. Better still, go for a Mountain bike of you don't want to look like a torture victim upon your arrival at work and if it's not specifically a BMX that you want.

My bro had just brought a fit complete bike. Its only the base model but almost as nice to ride as my old Macneil I used to have when I rode and that cost about four times as much 
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

I already have a mountain bike, but it's buggered. When you stop peddling the chain and cogs and stuff keep spinning, meaning you have to pedal all the time or you'll fall off or bust up your shins It's gathering dust in the shed as we speak.
A BMX would be easier to lug about between mine and the missus house, and I've wanted a BMX for ages. I think they look cool too
