Andoz09 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hey all, got around £400 to spend and wondering if it would be best to buy a brand new Stock from a shop, or a mod witch would obviously have better parts but a bit beaten and/or not up to scratch performance wise as the stock?I'm tempted to buy stock just because i could return it to the shop and get it repaired free of charge (within warranty date of course), anyone got a thoughts?Thanks.

Borat Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Deffonatly get a stock mate, on Mod; you will be too tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Deffonatly get a stock mate, on Mod; you will be too tall. height doesn't make a difference, how tall is cls, no one tells him to go stock edit: mods can be easier first time bikes there's no reason not to go stock, there essentially big mods anyway now. most riders who ride mod end up going stock, for some unknown reason. I still wonder about going back after 2 years on each haha. your best bet is to read up as much as you can on products to know what to look for. namely isis bottom bracket and cranks. oversized handlebars. sealed bearings and a good freewheel or freehub Edited November 28, 2009 by ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I'm 6 ft 3" and i ride a mod...Height makes no real difference infact i prefer mods there smaller more flicky and easier to get up on the rear wheel.In my opinion mods are better to start on then you can move to a stock if you feel the need to.
