and when did shipping become so expensive? i can see paying $14 for a set of ape hanger lowrider handlebars but why $20+ for standard ground shipping? when i was a kid lowrider bikes were cheap to make and cost $150 already built from the store apposed to now $250+ smh.


Answer
The price on parts for all bikes have gone up these past years and more people want to buy them for their old Muscle Bikes, Lowriders and some put them on their Antique/Vintage Balloon tire & middleweight bikes aka beach cruisers.


You should see the prices of original ones from the 1960's & 70's bikes but that is partly because people want original parts.


Wald is usually the cheapest & a real good company that has been around for a very long time that can be found at a few local bike shops.

Here is one on ebay but they are short ones.

What is the fastest way to earn $500+?

Hello, I am 14 years and want a new BMX bike. My parents can't afford it right now as they just had 2 kids. The bike I want is 500-800 dollars. What can i do to make the money. Please just answer the question, I don't need your advice on life. I just want to know how to get some green.
Oh and how long do you think it would take? I just got on summer break.



Answer
I would suggest trade up: start with something small but cool or useful, like a funny pen or a colorful paper clip, and go to people's houses or independant businesses (chain stores can work too if the manager is nice, but they're usually not as good. If you try them though, ask for damaged or remaindered stock that they can't sell). Tell them you're trying to work your way up to a BMX bike and than you'd appreciate anything of slightly greater value that they could give you. when you've amassed stuff of equal value to the bike (it likely won't take as long as you think), try and either trade it for a used one or sell it on ebay to make the money you need. That might take a while longer, since you're getting mostly stuff people don't want, but it should be possible before summer's over.

If you're techsmart, you could make a website where you trade your original bike for slightly better versions until you get a BMX.
