I am 5'7 150 lbs. I am on a budget of $150 and hoping to get a decent bike that will last. I was considering buying the haro z1 bike since i found a used one for 100 but need more opinions on that bike if its any good. I am open to any other suggestions if it fits my low budget.

heres a picture of the haro z1 i may get if it is any good.

I would not reccomend getting that bike at all for you. It looks very small.

its going to be hard to find a decent bike for that price. If you could spend around $230 or so you could get one of the cheaper eastern or hoffmans for about that price. they arent the greatest but it'll be hard to find much better for that much. if you go on ebay you could probably find a good deal on something.

Yeah, the Six-pack is a solid starter bike. Go for it.

What other brands of bikes should i get that would fit a $350 budget. so far i got the dk six pack. is the eight / four pack any better?

The 4-pack is better than the 6-pack, but there are better bikes out there than the 4-pack for that price.

The 4-pack is your best bet if you can find it for $350.

Yeah, but you most likely aren't going to find a 4-Pack for $350. The 2007 4-Packs are still $400.
