JT! Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 If your just starting out, it doesn't really make too much difference. Best keep away from the extremes. Don't get anything like the koxx vinco and monsterboy, too high. But don't use anything like a MTB frame, because the bb will be too low.

Fixed Pants™ Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 High BBs feel nicer on the back wheel, but feel worse for everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Any of the onza frames, ashton, most of the Deng frames (echo, zoo, GU, Czar) will all be ok but they're on the high end.It'd be easier to list all the frames that wouldn't be good to start out on, and it'd be a pretty short list.Are you looking to buy new or second hand?

JT! Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 -10, +10 and +30They're all measurements in mm of the hight of the bb from the imaginary line from axel to axel.0 BB rise means the center of the bb is level with the axel bolts.
