Craigslist can be a good option depending on where you're located. You're kind of in the same boat as me, I'm 33 and got back riding about a year ago. I ride mostly Street, pretty basic stuff though grinds, ledges, small gaps, 180s, nothing crazy and my Subrosa frame holds up just fine. It's a chromoly TT, DT and wishbone. Plenty of folks will chime in and disagree but full chromoly isn't a necessity for most riders (that being said I'm picking up a full chromoly frame this weekend but it's a good deal and I wanted something with a longer TT). There's kids tearing shit up on full hi tensile steel bikes that hold up just fine. These days it's all Geo, picking a frame based on your height and type of riding. Long story short find a good deal on a used bike and make adjustments along the way as you get back into it. That's my advice anyway.

Good advice. Unfortunately there aren't any good used bikes on the local craigslist. That was the first place I went looking. There are so many different manufacturers and models these days. When I was younger there were just a few good companies out there making quality bikes.

Also what do you think about the cult gateway or fit prospect? They seem like decent bikes for the price.

Yeah, the market is saturated with brands now. It gets overwhelming trying to make a choice sometimes. I still like the old guys that have been in the game a long time. GT has some good completes and so does Haro and Mongoose. Shit, I think Mongoose has a full chromoly complete for around $300??? With a complete you get a good foundation to get started. You also could buy a used frame and piece it together. If you go complete just pick the one that gives you the most bang for your buck as in components and chromoly, sealed bearings etc...
