this might seem shameless, but if you buy alot of the bits second hand and separately and build it yourself you can easily get a decent bike for under 100. maybe 150 for more modern parts. also if you dont mind getting stuff thats a bit 2003-2005. bikeguideguide and bmx-forum are good. check out anything "thecaptain" (i think thats his name) has to sell. good rating.
look for alienation stuff. its all cheap ripoffs of more respectable companies, and everyone 'in the industry' mocks them for being a catalog manufacture company, but i needed a new front rim, and i got good quality (brake paint wear), as its pretty much exactly the same design as a odyssey hazard. 20 quid new, or 10 if you go second hand.
come in crazy colours too if thats your thing.
