Might help to state which purpose you require the bike for etc:
Racing or Ramp/Park riding?
Your height will also be a factor in deciding what top tube length you will need?
Lots of people will be along to help you out with this one mate, no worries!

:) Race or Freestyle? Loads to choose from.Have a look at Dingo`s Superstar in the For Sale section.WTP,Fit,Haro,Kuwahara,Eastern,KHE are all worth a look.

the one I am selling is 21" TT and I am 5'10" I have used it at the track but its better suited to park and street, it cost twice what I am selling it for :idiot2:

sorry mate it has to be £400 as I am giving it away at that, it is all top quality stuff and feel free to ask opinions of anyone who has bought my stuff as to the quality of the parts/condition and my mechanical skills
:) DINGO :)

A lot more companies are doing completes now which ain't half bad!
Some folk aren't bothered about frame size but I would get 20.75" or 21" at your size.
If any of your mates are riding get a shot of their ride to get a feel for wot you want.
I bought Zed's Four Pack and am slowly adding parts when I can afford them. It was a great complete
but I want it a bit lighter so have put on new pedals, tyres, forks and bars.

I have just got back into BMX after a 22 year break. I just bought a Kuwahara Bravo 3 which cost £200 new. Its also very light at 28lbs. It is an awsome bike and covers all bases as its a street/freestyle/dirt bike. I can't recommend it enough.
I am also in Surrey so if you want to come and have a look and a ride then your more than welcome.
