Adam-Griffin Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I'd say You're about my Height Jack, maybe a little bit taller. I enjoy Long frames personally, My Ciguena is around the same Wb as the short because And i find it far too cramped. When i moved from my T-pro to My Ko i think my riding improved alot more than it did when i Went from my ko (1045) to my team (1015 ?).Short bikes are fun for a while but get boring pretty Quickly where as long bikes take a bit of getting used to but when you have, they're awesome.Just my opinion of course.

cox. Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 all depends on how you like your bikes to feel really, like me i like mine to be pretty short and as low as possible. i only know how i wanted it to feel by riding other peoples bike, changing stems around and stuff.. but to be honest id get the short, your be able to feel more relaxed on it. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickdonboy Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 short bikes are flickier and better for frenchies i'd say, long bikes are more tgs, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 im 5 9...and i ride an 1100 koxx, but i dont see the point of long mods, so id say go for the short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
