JT! Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Have you thought about a 24"?Im riding 26" now, but Im really thinking that my next project will be a 24".I've ridden 20" too, but it looked, and felt like I was riding a kids' bike Go for a 26" instead of 20"!! Have a nice dayHe said he was pretty much going to ride TGS, so 24" is out of the question really.It seems like you'll be much happier on a 26", so go buy a 26". Epically since you've ridden a lot of 26" bikes in the past, don't buy a mod just because people say it's easier, learning the basics to trials is a difficult thing whichever sized wheeled bike you're on so I wouldn't worry about that. Plus, when it comes to TGS riding 26"ers have many advantages such as bigger wheels which not only allow you to get more power out of your wheels (bigger gaps) but you're less likely to miss things like rails and stuff.The problem is for 500-600 pounds you won't really get a lot for you're money when it comes to stocks unless you buy 2nd hand. It is a bit daunting to give someone all that money, best thing to do is make sure you have a landline phone number, and an address, then if the worst comes to worse you can call the hell out of them and if that doesn't work report them to the local police. But most transactions on here go without any major problems. So I'd keep an eye out for a cheap 2nd hand bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I've never ridden a bmx/20" before, so that might be very unnatural for me. I'll stick around for a good 26" to show up.I guess a long frame is what I'm looking for, right?

Jan Tore Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I've been looking quite a bit on the Atomz Premier 26" at Tarty. Would that be a good bike? Anything else i'd pick up rather than that for the same price? Doesn't look too good, but I seriously need a bike now. My feets are acing for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
