I really wish completes were this dialled when I was younger, it would have saved my friends and I countless hours of trying to beg, borrow and steal replacement parts from each other for whatever we’d broken that day. The only complete BMX bike’s available at that time were either from Halfords, or Argos. You get the picture. So anyway, the Fit Pledge is placed at the entry level of Fit’s 18 strong, collection of complete bike,s and I must say, it’s appearance belies this position in the lineup. The Burgundy colour scheme with black and chrome parts looks the business, especially with the gum tyres and matching grips, the graphics are clean cut and it’s just an all round great looking bike. The top tube is pretty small at 20” so would suit a shorter rider, or someone who loves a snappy geometry, and the tyres are both 2.3 giving plenty of shock absorption. The price is kept down by non-removable lugs, non-sealed hubs and a press cut chainring (although the chainring does look pretty cool still) so all in all, the Pledge is bang on for the money!
