Until 4/20 you can get the Mongoose Legion L100 for $240. Specs are pretty close to this, with the main differences being no freehub (cassette) and the front hub isn't sealed. Some riders don't like the slack in the freehub or don't need to be able to roll back.
I bought one. Repped. I don't know why. I'm 43 and made me think of my childhood where I always wanted one of these but could never have one. Now I can. lol. My sons 8 maybe he will like it

Another notable difference is L500 has 48 spline cranks, L100 has 8 spline.
In the context of BMX bikes, 48-spline cranksets are generally preferred over 8-spline cranksets due to their higher durability and strength. 48-spline cranksets, also referred to as spline drive, have a more precise fit between the crank spindle and sprocket, leading to reduced wear and tear, especially under continuous pressure. 8-spline cranksets, while a more affordable option, tend to wear out quicker, especially with heavier use.
