SEEK
Introducing a complete bike with a short size of 17.9 inches from TNB, which is suitable for a wide range of ages from adults to children.
Gyro set, free coaster, aluminum peg, clear pad that works well for front and rear U-BRAKE, etc. are more than enough specifications to start BMX FLATLAND.
In addition, since the bar is 7 inches high and the frame is short, the grip and saddle are close to each other, so it can be used from a height of about 145 cm.
It is the best one for riders who are small at 16 inches and large at general 20 inches.

[TNB] What is SEEK 17.9?
"About frame size"
Since it uses a TT 17.9 inch (454 mm), which is shorter than other manufacturers, it is also suitable for adults from the upper grades of elementary school.
"Fork" offset (protrusion) 15mm
As for me, many riders who have been riding for many years often use 0 offset forks. However, I feel that it is too quick for those who ride BMX for the first time because it is self-propelled. At first, it is easier to handle and ride if the offset is slightly (15 mm). If you can do some tricks, you will be able to choose with or without offset depending on how you ride and your technique.
"Free coaster"
The free coasters used on TNB's complete bikes are by no means the best free coasters. However, the TNB brand owner has tested the sample himself and adopted a hub that has been shown to perform well as a free coaster.
"tire"
After riding for many years, I choose thin tires to some extent, but for beginners, thick tires are more stable for practicing tricks and self-propelled.
Anyway, I think that thick tires are more suitable for running a lot and stabilizing tricks. In any case, "BMX" has a thin frame and thick tires that look great.
"152 mm 3-piece crank"
Typical cranks are 165mm to 175mm, but in Flatland the crank can get in the way when doing tricks. However, if it is too short, it will hinder self-propelling, so 152 mm is the best size suitable for flat land from experience.
