ARCADE 18" / Intro
When we set about designing the Arcade 18" we did it for one fundamental reason, to create a BMX for a smaller rider but one that wasn't another scaled down 20inch bike, a bike that was designed specifically to fit the rider. The Arcade comes with a CRMO down tube for absolute frame strength and reduced weight, Pro 25t/9t gearing, integrated headset/Spanish SB BB, salt "junior" stem with 40mm reach and salt "junior" nylon/fiberglass pedals. Lets not forget the wethepeople 'Arcade' pivotal seat, and of course the breathtaking appearance of its 20inch predecessor.
