BMX bikes under $500 are 1) Ridiculously good deals if you can find a dialed custom bike or 2) Starting to skimp out on some vital aspects of a good quality bike. These bikes will (weigh under 25lb by compromising durability, utilize out dated technology "big sprockets, freewheel, one peace cranks, less than 100% chromo frame or fork", showcase gimmicks and lame decals). With this being said, this is the meat and potatoes of most BMX companies pandering to entry level riders. That is to say that you will find over priced versions of these bikes at most bike shops. You can also find them on line for a lesser price at the first set of web pages, and for unimaginable prices at the last two.

Avoid: Mongoose, Huffy, Redline, Mosh, Specialized, KHE, NEXT, TonyHack, GT, Dimondback, Haro.

$300-500

WOW... Are you really going to risk life and limb? IS your future looking that bleak or do you lack the fundamental ability to save money through (birthdays, christmass, allowance, pawning, street performing, or some kind of job, bottle and can returning, soul selling). Well sh*t, i totally understand being poor.

Everything i said negatively about the last group is magnified by 10. You will not be able to buy a bike that is remotely respectable for $300 new unless a moron stole it and didn't know what it was worth. So what are you going to do? Look on Ebay and Craigslist for anything that isn't one of those bikes i told you to avoid. Second hand is the only way to get anything of fair value at this price. You will have to settle for old equipment but make sure it has the following. (3pc crank, 100% chromo frame and fork, cassette wheel is preferable) everything ells, just suck it up until you can afford better. If you get hook in BMX you will be saving more money to improve what you have the day you purchase this peace of sh*t.
