Good Points
This bike is so tough I imagine it could be steam rollered and survive. The ARAYA rims and oversize XS hubs make super tough wheels which should take the most reckless of punishment. In fact every part of this BMX which has bearings is 'oversize', therefore very tough.
Bad Points
Genuinely hard to find any, except if you want to buy stunt pegs or some accessories they could be a little more expensive because of the oversize hubs.
General Comments
I got the Schwinn Automatic Trail "Joey Garcia signature model" bike in a sale from the retailer Cycle King. It was reduced from £579 to £250. In my case an outrageous bargain, I would have struggled to pay full whack for it. The bike is as i've said earlier, super tough. I've already had a couple of harsh crashes which would have done for lesser bikes, but not the Joey Garcia model. One of my crashes resulted in broken bones (hand) but not broken components. I would advise maybe this isn't the best bike for younger kids, a bit over the top really. The colour scheme is understated, sort of a matt black finish. Looks the bollards though. All black frame, chrome ARAYAS and black spokes make for a mean looking bike that CAN handle what you throw at it. Look for it in a sale and BUY BUY BUY.
