in I wanna buy it or do it
I would like to buy my son a bike for his birthday coming up soon, but they all seem to be really expensive, like over £50.

I would like one that has a chain. If anyone knows anywhere that they don't cost the earth lol

TIA

    Please steer clear of Argos!! They are a posh flea market, and you will get less than you pay for with them!

    It really depends whether you want something to last, or just be a cheap deal & throw away after a few months?! The cheap end will have solid tyres, poor build quality & most probably self assembly! Stick to a 'known' brand, like the Raleigh Ziggy? Apollo Stinger? I've seen both for under £50.
