Weekly Roundup: Do It For The Kids Edition

This bike came back to me after a long time away; now I'm offering it to the readers. It's a 2003 Mosh Expert AL, intended for BMX racing, sized for riders between 10 and 14 years old who are somewhere in the 4'8" to 5'2" range. There's a little flexibility on both sides, depending on how hardcore you want to be; my son rode it with no trouble when he was 48" tall but it was (and still is) too big for him to race successfully.

$175 picked up in Powell, Ohio or delivered somewhere in Central Ohio. $225 shipped in the 48 states. It will be thoroughly cleaned and will have a new set of grips. I bought this back in 2003 so one of my neighbors could try racing and skatepark riding. His parents returned it to me when they moved out of the neighborhood. It's a great bike for a "tween" who is thinking about trying BMX as an activity and would be absolutely appropriate for Novice and Intermediate riders. Younger kids could use it as a neighborhood/kick-around bike until they're old enough to race it.

If you're interested, comment in the thread and I'll reach out. Also --- if you are personally acquainted with a child whose parents can't afford a bike, but for whom a bike like this would make a real difference, let me know and we'll discuss changing the price to what well-respected Countach owner and air-cooled 911 molester Matt Farah calls "FREE-NINETY-NINE." Now, off to the Roundup!

For R&T, I discussed an American supercar that isn't that fast and drove a new Viper around rural Ohio at the maximum prudent speed.

Here's a brief moment from the Viper, by the way:

Not too fast, but very fun!
