actually I don't think I want to spend that much on a bike now... seems $200-300 is more of wat im looking for. Also I'm around 5'6-5'7 and about 150lbs... would a 18" frame be suitable for me?

Yeah I guess your right...I should learn how to how to fix it up. Can you recommend me a thread or website that would provide me with some info?

are these any good?? I'm not sure which one I should pick up.
