About this product
This is a vintage 1996 Trek Sub Atomic SS BMX Bike, featuring an aluminum frame and a polished finish. It's a single-speed bike with 20-inch wheels, a 20-inch frame size, and cantilever brakes.

Our take
For enthusiasts of mid-school BMX or vintage bike collectors, this 1996 Trek Sub Atomic SS offers an authentic piece of history. The polished aluminum frame is a definite highlight, and its single-speed setup is true to the BMX ethos, offering simplicity and durability for park or street riding. With 20-inch wheels and a 20-inch frame, it's sized perfectly for typical BMX use. The cantilever brakes are period-correct, though less powerful than modern V-brakes. Keep in mind it's a vintage item, so expect some signs of age, but for a true retro ride, it certainly delivers.
