What complete bike could I buy with...
500.00 usd?
The best all around bike that I could use for street,park and dirt jumps if I wanted to?
I could go all the way up to aroung 700 if I wanted to but I would like to keep it below 600...
Beerman, I want your opinion too...........Because I know you are probably the expert in this forums

if you wanted too go all the way into the $700 then make a custom bike from Albes...with nice parts...like an S&M, FBM, Fit or T1 [they go a little over your budget but they have all they come with most of the parts youll either want or end up getting otherwise...

Hey man,
I have a bike that would fit your needs perfectly. It is Federal Frame with great parts (S&M, Primo, Snafu, etc). It is in really good condition because I hardly rode it. It is a great ride for street, park, and dirt....
Plus, I am only looking to get $400.00 for It (cost over $900.00 to Build), I will ship anywhere in the US and Ca. For a complete description PM me.
See Pics
Beerman what do you think?

What exactly do you get by spending more money. SInce I'm a new roadi, I'm finding that saving mear grams cost thousands. But with BMX, what are you getting by spending say, $300, $600, $1000. Since weight and smothness, and smoth operation of component make a difference when being competitive, and most people on here don't seem to race ore compete, why spend all the extra money. THe price of a seal BB compared to non seal far outweighs the cost of a few bearing replacments. I'd think that unles you are jumping into a titanium frame set, you may not be getting your moneys worth. But then there is the "coolness" factor thats worth something to some people. But I'm not sure anyones goin to do ride anybetter becaus they spent an extra $500. Am I worng? Helo me out here.
