Radfax Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Some majorly nice bikes in here. I really want to get into riding bmx, i used to have a old Fit series one a few years back but never really rode it properly. just threw it in the garage. I have been offered a Standard TRLS 250 frame for £30 and a STA OX platinum for £60.... Either of them offers any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A!! Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 What top tube length you running and how tall are you? (huck_it)I'm about 5'8 just a little under i think. And the sunday is a 20.5Did get some more pictures of my bike today with the new pc pedals, mid way through checking out some spots in a building site, made for quite a nice picture, in some half built house, but the pictures are on my phone and i cant get them off 'cause i lost the cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the OX STA will be unbreakable. I take it the TRLS is a old frame as they're now 250L's. I'm about 5'8 just a little under i think. And the sunday is a 20.5I was curious as your back problems. Seems right. I find long top tubes hurt my back more than a short one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let Poo have a moan about the sitting area.I can't really, it has actually got some padding - even if it does look like it belongs on a roadie.I'm preparing myself for the ripping I get when the plastic pedals go on ( i have medical reasons ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 95% true. Apart from those stupid ass cage pedals which don't grip but still find enough teeth to murder your shin. Or just buy some shin pads.
