thnx

nonononono. apollo = not good. that's $120 more than i paid for one.

I wouldn't pay more than $25 for that bike.

Sure, why not? One note though, check to see what kind of dropouts it has. Horizontal/semi-horizontal dropouts will make the conversion much easier for you.

you dont even think its decent as a beater conversion? im talking no more then 200$ into it?

Assuming that all you have to do is spin on a cog, redish, and respace, I'm sure it's fine.

good - the rear hub is a freewheel hub so you could easily spin on a bmx freewheel/respace/redish.
good - 3 piece cranks
bad - $125 is a bit much, but if you can do the conversion for cheap, you're fine
bad - looks like its been sitting outside so some components might be shot. make sure the bb/headset work fine and the hubs are in decent shape. if not, your budget will be ****ed.

would be a fun project!

+1 i heart buyin sh*t bikes and makin them all nice and watnot
haggle that price tho
