Redneck Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 im about 5'6 or 7" and i ride a mod, soon a new short frame bionic. i test rode a long frame adamant A3 and it just seemed a bit long with both tires on the ground. mainly the mod frames come in long or short and i assume the 26" wheel frames (stock) do aswell. 20" wheels are smaller and i find the mod bikes are more flickable but a 26" wheel rolls over things a 20" will not. the best advice i can give you is to go out and ride a couple of each. search, youll find a few topics like this.

Muel Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I ride stock, I'm nearly 6ft.I prefer stock because I can get more leverage and the bike fits me, mods are just too small.It's all down to personal preference, you need to go along to a group ride and have a go on a few bikes and decide for yourself.

Laurence--Trials Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Well most people start on "mod" as it is easier to learn the beginner stuff but as your quite tall your may well want to go for a 26" the best thing I could suggest find about riders around your area (if you don’t already know people) then go on there bikes try a few 20"'s and a few 26’s then you should be able to decide.Hope I helped.
