Hey /out/
So I am looking to get back into biking and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I used to bmx in my teen years and got pretty good. I had a Diamondback with a lot of custom parts. It got stolen so I quit at age 17.
I'm 22 now and really want to get back into that world, partly to lose some weight but mostly just to get me out of my apartment. There are some amazing street places within a minute ride from my place.
The last time I rode was almost 6 years ago. I hear a lot has changed with modern bmx bikes. My question is- what is a good intermediate 20-21 inch multi-purpose 3 crank bike? I am trying to keep it to about 22-27 pounds. I will be mostly riding street with some vert mixed in. Let's say 85% street 15% vert.
It needs to be a complete bike. I have about $410 to spend on it. The bmx place I went to earlier, the cheapest bike in the shop was like $500, which I could not afford.
So tldr. I am looking for a 20-21 inch 3 crank 22-27 pound bmx bike for under $410.

Price you're looking to spend? Browse danscomp for used bikes if you want to go the used route, also just a good site in general for buying parts

Never mind found your thread on /n/ . I think you need to look for a used eastern cobra or something. They can take an alright beating, aren't terribly heavy.

Damn, I rememver those. That's a pretty old bike.
One of my friend's bikes got stolen and another friend knew dude who had it. Told him we knew somebody who wanted to buy it and met up.
Not very exciting but dude gave my friend his bike back right away.
