specialized are dope, deff in need of a new chain though, and possibly a new charning/ rear sprocket if rusty like the chain.

Anything thats free is awesome. Its a great starter bike. But if you ever get more serious about bmx you will want something a lot newer and lighter. If your really interested you should check out some of the stuff on this forum bikeguide.org

Hope you have as much fun as I do, If you ever have any bmx questions about trick tips or bike maintinance feel free to ask me
