So let's make it harder - My neighbor wants me to find him a lightweight cruiser for less than $200 (new OR used). He wants both the aluminum frame AND aluminum rims. He further wants as many components as possible to be aluminum rather than steel (seat post, stem, bars, crank, etc.).

The used bike market here isn't full of such bikes, and the shipping alone on an eBay purchase would exceed the budget.

I'm thinking a Wally-World, coaster-brake special for $150 ($165 after tax) and then use the remaining budget to make selective upgrades?

Open to ideas here...

Thanks - FH
