JonMack Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm 6ft 1 and ride a Dob mod with a wheelbase of 995mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm 6ft 1 and ride a Dob mod with a wheelbase of 995mm.If i was 8ft i'd ride a dob.. there just sex on wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm 6ft and ride a Zona Zip, which is 1040mm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esfrost Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Or (if im right) you can still get one of those magellan 20" frames, they are 1065mm i guess. Thats for tall people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Cresswell_D on here is 6.5"ish and ride's a Zona Zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I had a Zona once, it was HUGE, it had a 1070 WB with my T-Pro forks and fooked chain. (The slaves were at a hilarious angle).I'd say get as big as you can get. Jon rides his Dob well, but he's fairly skinny I believe, if you're a bit of a heffer you'll want something bigger and stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenJohnson Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 i am 6'5 and ride a echo team which is a 1030wb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm 6 foot and have ridden pretty much every frame on the market I would personally advise a long wheelbase with a high front end, especially coming from stock. I found that even if you had a short frame you could get away with it if you ran a high bar/stem combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 It's all about the Viz High Rise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) The A3 long is pretty long as well. The reach was the same as my 04 long Control if not a bit longer. Think the WB is about 1030. (I'm 6'4") Edited March 13, 2009 by Jamie_Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm 6ft, rode a lot of different frames and found that the length had nothing to do with how comfortable it was. It was just a matter of preference, for a time i liked long frames and rode those, then went over to short stuff like the 221Ti, then back to long bikes. 6ft is fairly average, if you were 6'5 or taller you could start worrying about choosing a frame which fits you.

I would go with a short mod 1000mm WB. Much more fun…….because bunny hops are where its at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more fun…….because bunny hops are where its at.i like your thinking,i did think 1070 was abit over kill for what i want. looking around i don't think i'll go more than 1040!i'm really liking the looks of the A3 and the GU LE?but riden montys before and there great fun...i don't know, i think i need to test ride some bikes. what are the new onza's like?

mr ailsbury Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've got an 06 python, i'm 6 foot 1 and its all good does feel slightly cramped though sometimes, not 'cause i'm tall just cause i'm bulky lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 It was only that long because of the chain and forks, They are actually 1040-1045 with Echo Lites. They're really nice riding frames! Just very heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 My mate is 6ft 4 and used to ride a T-Pro! 1000mm wheelbase. Looked a bit silly on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Have you not seen Kumorowski? He was absolutely huge on his xtp2 (not sure if it was a long or short).Best video to show his size (shame about the lycra suit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 my mate that was aroubd 6ft 3" at the time, rode a zona zip without too much diffuculty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cresswell_d Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Like Tom said, I ride a mod and I'm 6'5 nearly 6'6.I ride a Zona Zip the wheel base is about 1030 ish with standed onza forks.Daz.

davey1991 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm 6ft 1 and ride a Dob mod with a wheelbase of 995mm.I was similar although i was riding a monty 221. Thats 1000mm right?Just because your taul doesnt mean you need a long bike, get out and ride some short and some long you may be suprised.I prefer shorter bikes as i can throw them around more.
