So any suggestions? I've been only googling and it seems the giordiano libero 1.6 and the vilano aluminum speed shimano 21 speed are top budget choices. Looking forward to everyone's professional inputs!
links for both bikes are below:

I would look on your local classifieds and ebay for used bikes. you will mostly find many bikes used for $500 that will cost much more brand new.
