I was just wondering what you thought would be a good parts upgrade for under 100 usd. My bike is a Fairly stock p.1 but with an avid front brake and race face bash ring.

Gears??? Really - tires or bars or post or saddle or grips or stems or tubes or those little firefly things for your tubes :D

Save it until you break something.
Then you will inevitably spend it on something else whereupon you will immediately break your bike!

i think the one on my bike is a hex nut though. I really know nothing about this, all i know is i want to still do bar spins, but i want my front brake.

save for a fork, forget gears... gears are no good on street/DJ bikes, get some Kenda K-Rads, they're PIMP.

you're going to see a million different recommendations. let me summarize what they will all say:
Holy Rollers
Launches
K-Rads
and 1 person will say "Hookworms are the tits for street."
