Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I would advise you to get a Stock ( 26" ) Bike if you are 6.3Ft, But it's personal preference really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan allsop Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 If i was you i would get a 26" just because you or quite tall also it will be easy to hop about and geting on back wheel. I am about 5.11 tall and i ride a 20" monty 220 kamle and it is a bit small for me so i would reccomend a 26". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 If you extend your budget you would be able to get a more upgraded bike, But if you are starting out I would say get a budget bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin M Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'm 6ft and have ridden stock since i started riding. I've always struggled when riding a 20". I'm currently riding an Azonic DS-1 and am even finding this a bit too short! I'd say definately get a 26" wheel, you can always put a shorter or longer stem on to suit how you ride.

Sam T Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Go to halfords and get a....Apollo, brilliant brakes, and very very strong..... or you could go to trials uk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddin Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Go to halfords and get a....Apollo, brilliant brakes, and very very strong..... or you could go to trials uk? Was that meant to be funny? If you could stretch your budget abit you could get a second hand bike with a good frame and eventually upgrade the parts!

scotty007 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Go to halfords and get a....Apollo, brilliant brakes, and very very strong..... or you could go to trials uk? That is a stupid thing to say and very bad advice. The bike looks ok for a first timer on a 26", Maybe a few upgrades will be needed but it looks ok to me. Oh and i would strongley advise never to do business with Trials UK !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
