You would be very lucky to find a fairly decent one for £50!
You're looking at a minimum of £100.

yer brands to look for wethepeolple, GT, Haro errrrr......anything else will start getting a bit specialised..ie more money.
you can pickup late 90's bmx's for quite good money on ebay so try try that.
i quite like the GT pro performers with the bendy toptube but thats me...

plenty of cheap Gt's going...
