Oh Zephyr, you know I'm just playing I'd never be lucky enough to find a Stumpy for that price..

But yeah, there's plenty to be found out there in the BMX world for $500, new or used. Not too long ago I was checking out CL for a decent used cruiser, & didn't find anything I could afford in the 24" world, but did see several Haro's & Redlines used for <$300.
