My 12yr old wanted a Framed FX1 bike. So I kind of reluctantly bought it for him. In the process of comparing other bikes it was about 1/2 the price of some of the other bikes we were comparing it to. So my thought process was how could it really compare....you know something is wrong here. He is about 95lbs. I recently went bike riding with him on a much more expensive 21 speed Specialized mountain bike and I was surprised to see that he was able to maintain about 15 to 20 MPH for about a 6 mile ride. I thought he would have problems keeping up with me due to the lack of gear options for up hill and down hill riding. My bike was clearly Faster than his on down hill riding. But up hill he had just as good if not better up hil acceleration as I did with much more technology in use. The Framed bike was only about $120.00. For the price I would definitely recommend it ( at this point). We almost bought a $350.00 Cult BMX bike. Which of course is much cooler looking and has a much more robust frame and other options. 5 other brands were in the play but I thought the cult was the coolest and we almost bought it that is why I mentioned it. Please keep in mind I am not a bike expert. But I do not see significant advantages that cause this bike to be more than 2x the cost. At this point he is enjoying this bike as much as he would be enjoying a more expensive bike. I will check back with you after he beats on this bike for a year to tell you if it holds up to his punishment. If it does this is a great buy! Over all for $120.00 I'm not sure how I can loose on this purchase....again we will see.
