street-rider Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hey guys, although im not a complete novice trials rider ive never owned one and have been looking into getting one. Firstly, if anyone could advise me on what kindof size i need ( im 6'4" ), i appreciate im going to have to play about to find something that fits perfectly, just a rough guide? Coming from riding jump bikes and dh i like my cockpit setup pretty short, which obviously isnt the case in trials. Secondly, could anyone point me in the right direction of where id need to post an ad to swap/px one of my existing bikes for a trials bike. I look forward to spending a bit of time on here, and if anybody could help id appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 hi, theres a wanted forum and a for sale forum on here, but when it comes to selling a bike, it depends on the bike, if you offer postage ebay is good because you have a large audience. go to your bike shop and get a bike box and post the bike using someone like paisley freight its only £20 to post a bike. Swapping might be hard because its quite specific, but worth a try. also pinkbike might be good for mtbs? are you talking about wheel size or short/long frames ?

street-rider Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I figured itd probably be easier to just sell some stuff and find something in the classifieds on here. Just a rough guide to what length really, i know id be better on a long frame, just didnt know if there was alot in it between frames?

ooo Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 these frame geometry videos might be of help, but geometry is generally more about rider style/ bike feel than body size. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/guides/product_guide_20_inch_frames/m12.html http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/guides/product_guide_26_inch_frames/m22.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
