Jiten Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'm 6ft tall and as I am new to trials I do not know about frames, so should I get a long or short frame?and is this bike below a long or short framehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Onza-T-Pro-Trails-Bi...c#ht_658wt_1165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzaboy09 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 The t-pro is a short frame and I ride a t-comp which is basicly the same frame, I am 5ft 7 and it is the best riding trials frame that i have ridden so I would say a short frame because they are easier to ride than a long frame, hope this helps.

tmusson Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I prefer a long frame but its all down to personal preference really. Long gives you more leverage for sidehops and they also front wheel tap nicer and also body weight moves are easyer as your higher up.

Vimeo Video -> Original Video Green and white bike is pretty short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
