If you only want to spend 250 id suggest as another already said craigslist you can get a great deal on one theyre are alot of bike nerds out there that want the latest new high end bike and will sell there 2 to 3 year old 1000 dollar bike for a fraction of that price i brought one on craigslist 4 years ago for 400 and come to find out it was a 1500 bike and only found that out when i had it tuned up at the local bike shop and i still have it not saying this is standard but it can happen.
will only last about 2 months though..
Diamondback from Craigslist.
This is my bike(not this one pictured). I had it for 7 years. I paid like $350.00 for it. Very durable and I may add an electric motor to it.
Looking to get another bike though something sleeker and lighter.

Why don’t you just get a Vespa?This is my bike(not this one pictured). I had it for 7 years. I paid like $350.00 for it. Very durable and I may add an electric motor to it.

Go to Toys R US and get a Mongoose Mountain Bike. You can even get one with front and rear disk brakes. I rode freestyle in the 80's and mountain bikes through the 90's til now and trust me when I tell you there is no need to spend $800 to get a great bike.

I don't want to spend Vespa money. At this point getting an electric motor kit is cheaper than getting a whole electric bike. Plus I can still pedal on it if the battery goes dry. However like I said, my next bike will be lighter and sleeker.
Still got mine. Got it in 15, I take care of it
not true if you get it tuned by a professional replace a couple of the cheap parts you would have that bike for as long as you take care of it
yep.
buying something new for 250 is not going to get you
anything much better than a bike from walmart.
Pay to Replace cheap parts and pay to get it tuned.... fam, you minus whale go to a bike shop and buy a used mid range bike
. Got this for 250 at the local bike shop...2016 model, original retail was about 600..

If you buy this bike or any Mongoose mountain bike go ahead a change out the seat.Amazon product ASIN B00J7J40TM
I want a decent mountain bike, not trying to spend more than $250. Just something I can ride through the park on when weather temps get a little warmer.
The one I got is about 17 years old. I got that shit from Wal-Mart.
They have some good deals if you can catch em. that’s how I got the fat tire bike. Funky ass Amazon sellers gouging folks man. $200 bike is $700? Fuck that!

That Mongoose is exactly the bike I wanted too. Is the seat that bad?
You'll be a star with the "Esse's" if you rock one of these.... they might rob you for it though....I want a decent mountain bike, not trying to spend more than $250. Just something I can ride through the park on when weather temps get a little warmer.

You'd be well advised to go to a bike shop first. They may or may not have a used bike for sale but at least there you can get your proper measurements and you can try different brands and styles. Just write down or take a picture of what you like and then go search online for last years model.

probably laughed at that more than i should have
.I always hear that the seat will have you sir as hell if you go long periods of time not riding.

yea but it only costs $30 for a gel seat. Unless you want a bootleg vasectomy or done reproducing. Seat is horrible

If you can recall riding as a kid you knew if you spent all day on a bike you’d be sore. On this mf if you ride over 2 miles you will feel like its literally eviscerating you and snatching your fucking balls off with a vise.
I did that too. Them Mfs had nothing less than $500 and it seemed ok but I said hollllup! I know Walmart have decent bikes sometimes. Did the research and dude said they tune and check for $50. Hoping to catch a good deal on a commuter bike once I ride for a min. Fucking bikes aint cheap no more man. Mfs be rocking 5k and 10k bikes nowadays. Sheeeid, bitch not me!
It is damn near impossible to find a bike right now
Especially UNDER $500
And if you do find one?
Snatch it up QUICK!!!

Yep, if you can grab this one and stay on Walmart, Amazon (watch them fuckers though) and Kohls. This is a great bike that is highly rated. My order for it has fallen through at least 5 times though.
If you can get it for $400 or less you got a deal.
