Any STRIDER kids out there who have transitioned to a pedal bike and are looking for a speedy fun ride this is the smallest BMX racing bike out there. Both my kids rode one exactly like this when they were 4, 5 and 6. A lot more fun and light weight than a regular 12" or 16" and retain their value for resale when they outgrow it.
Haro micro mini for sale.$ 400 takes it. Comes with two sets of crank. Rear tire is used for three races only. Have some spare tubes. Only ridden at bmx track. Always in dry garage. Profesionally maintained . Msg me with any questions or more photos. Craig

Comes with:
-extra 18" tire
-pink and original black handle grips
-pink and original black brake cable
-both 12 and 13 cm crank sets, so bike can accommodate short and long legs! (12cm set is on bike now)

Lots of life left in this bike! Fantastic package looking for a new home
