How can you tell if a 20" bike is made for an older rider or a younger kid..besides the dora the explorer stickers. lol
I found this bike from "New state" in ok condition. I dont know too much about bikes and would like to know if this bike would be good for a 20 year old rider before i spend too much money on it

bummer...what should I look for in a frame to tell the difference
Answer
It's a crappy department store bike, probably a Next or Pacific. The geometry is probably terrible if you are trying to any serious riding on it.

are bmx bikes sized differently than kid bikes?
.
I saw a 20" bike at target but it was too small. Yet i search on the internet and they say 20" would be good.
Answer
20" is just the tire size. The way you find different sizes on a bmx bike is by the top tube. If your height is 5'4 to 5'10 get a bike with a 20 to 20.5 inch top tube if your taller then 5'10 look for a bike with a 20.5 or higher. Bikes from Target,Wal-mart,K-mart,etc. are heavy and not worth buying at all. And they only come in one top tube size. Check out www.Danscomp.com they have a great selection of bikes,and remember the your top tube size so you can have comfort while riding.
Good luck
