Answer 1

The very best way is to go to craigslist.com. you just need to be very patient. I bought a good robinson BMX racing bike for $100. and this bike retails around $600-$900 classic racer. I also bought this http://www.marinbikes.com/bicycles_2005/html/bikes/bike_specs/specs_rocky_ridge.html 4 weeks ago for $250. and this retails more than $1200. it took me about 2 weeks checking craigslist everyday until I finally found one (or in my case 2) that I wanted. Used bike is just as good as a new one. new one will get old anyway. You will definitely find a VERY GOOD and CHEAP one there.

Answer 3

You wont find a good new mountain bike for that amount. All you are going to find for that amount will be Walmart quality bikes. Look for a good used shop quality bike.

Answer 4

I know you used more time for your money.

So how about BMX bike? It's a good action sport.

I completely agree with Marvin, patience pays off when you are looking for a secondhand bicycle.
