Title: new school BMX - what tt size
Post by: diesel on May 14, 2012, 09:37 PM: Still pondering a nu school bmx for messing about on

I'm 5' 9" - What sort of top tube should I be looking at for an all rounder, bit of street, some dirt etc.

also anything else I should really consider?

Start cheap and cheerful or spend a little more and get something half decent?

Best thing too do is to get to a RAD meet and try a few, You could have 2 bikes with the same frame and they could feel different depending on stem reach/height bar height/width.
