Why not just ride the bike the way it is now and put the money towards a new bike? If you ride the bike like is now(heavy) once you get a new bike, it will be much easier because you'll have built up the muscle from riding the old bike.
most diamondback bars are very short, so new bars would be a GREAT idea. i run lumberjacks and absolutely love them. not too big imo, perfect height and im about 5'11. anything 8x28 should feel great, the sunday forumphs are great too. 4 degree upsweep is a nice addition

what diamondback is it?
im not sure, its some red one, ive wanted to get into bmx for a while but i never have enough moeny for a good one, so im just gunna get this one and lighten it up a bit and learn to ride on this and once i get a job this summer ill probably get a better one. Im not to bad on this one either, its my friends and I use it whenever i go to his house, last weekend we took the breaks off and I reaized how much fun breakless was.
I ride a diamondback viper, and if you build it up right, its a freaking TANK. they really aren't that bad if you replace the weak things like the cranks and rims.

Yea i think its a viper, how much is a micro drive drivetrain with cranks to?

Do not buy micro drive and new cranks for a bike like this. It's not worth it. Instead use the money to save up for a new complete.

Mine came with both, so I have no idea. my bike only cost me $40 and i have about $120 in it all together and its pretty good. as for the parts, if you buy them new maybe $30-40 for the sprocket, and $100 for very good cranks? you could get them for much less if you look around craigslist.com or ebay for good used ones.
