>>1106160yes you can easily get a top tier full chromoly bike with that amount. Theres a big sale going on now so look around.
i dont really plan to do much tricking and mainly going to use one for commuting so I got a hi-ten frame for < $300 with good parts. pic related its on clearance right now.
it just arrived today and im blown away. Pedaling while standing isn't as bad as I thought it would be, even going uphill was much easier to do than my heavy mtb. Im literally flying on this thing.
>>1106901Im an old fag as well and i regret not getting a bmx sooner. They are more agile and sturdier than any old bike with gears and are perfect for commuting. I really thought they were just for skateparks but thats just a stereotype it seems. You'd also be going by fast so i doubt anyone would notice your age.
