Deal Details
IMPORTANT!!! There are two different Huffy Exist 24-inch BMX bikes at the same sale price of $169.99 (before coupon). DO NOT GET THE BLUE ONE, GET THE OLIVE GREEN ONE!
They have the same name and sale price, but the frame and cranks are completely different and the olive green one is a LOT better.

If you do, that's the code they email you in about 2 minutes. It is probably the same code for everyone, but I don't know if it is valid if you don't sign up for the newsletter.
SPECIFICATIONS
Aluminum "cruiser" BMX frame
24" wheels
3 piece cranks
linear pull brakes
plastic pedals
ASSUMPTIONS
I estimate top tube length at 21 or 21.5".
The forks, handlebars and seat post are probably steel. Heavy, but serviceable.
The bottom bracket height may be lower than what is typical on expensive race bikes.
This is a good entry level BMX bike that is suitable for upgrading as long as you like the geometry. It can be used as-is and upgraded if things break or wear out.
I do recommend one modification and two upgrades.
* Remove the kickstand (just unbolt it) because it is just dead weight.
* Pedals can be slippery so replace them with any that use metal pins.
* Replace the steel seat post with a cheap aluminum one that has an integrated seat clamp. Probably 27.2mm diameter (please measure) and will cost $12-18, but this will drop a good chunk of weight.
Yes I just ordered one because I was curious. I also currently have a 24-inch BMX racing bike from a bike shop that was around $500, so it would be an interesting comparison if anyone is curious.

Is this Huffy a really good value for $134? Yes.
To get a BMX cruiser race bike that is a bit better will cost $240 for a Bikes Direct Gravity SuperFast BIG 24, which has some better components but it has a strangely short top tube and strange rear dropouts. Framed Bikes used to have BMX cruisers in the $300 range too with some iffy geometry, but looks like they're sold out. The cheapest one with the best race geometry that I can easily find is $300 for a JET BMX Accelerator 24, but even that has hi-ten forks and bars.

In the questions portion, Huffy replies with the top tube length and other dimensions.
