Mr. Newbi Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hey all, sorry for the disturbing titleJust looking for a bit of help on sizes when looking at a bike. This is a pretty stupid question as it is more personaly preferance. Anyway, what is a good size bike to have (for a mod)... what will help keep the front of the bike up and be able to hop around?Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) Mod bikes don't really come in 'sises'. Most mods (20" wheels) normal just have a fixed geometry. One sise fits all kind of thing, like bmx's.You can in some cases get different geometrys on the same frame, like the echo team, that comes in long or short. But that has nothing to do with the sise of the rider, just the riders preference.If your asking about geometery, a mod with around 1000mm wheel base would probably be a good starter. Like a t-pro, or t-mag. Edited May 22, 2006 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 at your height you wont need a short one but you'll be able to ride one. even the stumpiest bike will feel long compared to a bmx and people taller than me (6'1) manage on themif you've tried a monty and liked it a lot the go for a monty or the short echo/gu/levelboss etc.like the man says, a t-pro is probably a good start - they're quoted as having a 1020/1030 wheelbase (like the long echo/gu/levelboss etc etc) - most people seem to ride that length.pythons and zips are looong (1045wb). nice and stable but harder to chuck about - they may be better for the more advanced rider cos it's harder to get the front up (IMO etc etc) but they give you more leverage and reach.

N.Wood Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 To see if there are riders in your area to advise you, take a look on OTN, as there are loads of Aussie riders. They may be able to give you more hands on advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
