    you would have to be very lucky to get something decent for 100. do you know anyone who bmx's. if you have friends who do you may be able to collect a load of old parts from them to build a bike. otherwise i think you would just have to take what you find for a hundred euro but i doubt youll find much.i know ive heard a kid or two at bushy who got new bikes for christmas or were thinkin of buyin a new bike maybe they just have there old ones lying around

    Haha my headset cost €100, there is no way in hell you'll get a new bike for that and even a second hand one would be pretty crappy for €100. Your best bet is to save at least 300 or 400 before you start looking for a "decent" bmx. Sorry but if you really want to get into BMX thats just the way it is.
