Just buy what you can afford and make the bike comfy. If it helps beforehand, come to a rad members skatepark session and pester people to try their bikes and have a chat and stuff. Everyone rides different so you can't always predict what would be a comfy set up for you, even knowing your size and weight. I like to sit down a lot so I have a proper seatpost. :daumenhoch:

check out the section on rad here
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=33.0
the guys helped me out loads - from knowing what type you are after and what to spend and what not to buy - ebay can be a minefield with sellers saying that there's is the best and it being a pile of shite ::)
do your homework - study loads and ask loads of questions as well
A clean good looking ride doesn't have to cost the earth but can still look top doller - parts can be change or painted :daumenhoch:

Hi Rog
If its really just rolling about, you're fine with OS - means you can sit down and pedal :daumenhoch:
NS are much better in parks and for doing sweet jumps, but I wouldn't fancy doing London to Brighton on mine
Get your arse over to the boardroom and you're welcome to try my bike out for size
