Title: Looking for advice...
Post by: James Nada on October 22, 2010, 09:29 PM
Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about getting my first new school ride.

I'd be using the bike for dirt-jump/trails type riding (being realistic- I'm not going to be going large) and for ramp/park use (where I'd be a novice).

So, ideally I'd be looking for a decent complete with a TT of at least 21" (I'm 6'1" and my OS racer has a TT of 20.5" and feels "right", but I don't really know much different) and trails ish geomatory that wouldn't be out of place on ramps.

Oh, and my budget is £400ish or less (preferably less  :LolLolLolLol:)

Any advice taken!

Cheers

James

James I'm a noob at both NS and freestyle, but my Felt cruiser is 21.3" long and feels perfect size-wise. The top tube is at quite an angle so probably about the same as a 21" TT on a 20 inch wheeled bike.

Not sure if this is still up for grabs, but worth a try...
