Mark W Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Anywhere online, really. AlansBMX.com, WinstanleysBMX.com, etc. Good few places out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up'n'away Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Ah thats great thanks! If i cant get 400 fairly soonish than are there any more to look out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Like Tic said, anything WeThePeople basically. The Diamondback FUBAR's got a pretty good spec, but the frame's a sack of turd. Just go for WTP. Their new range is pretty stunning! They've reviewed the Dark Angel in this month's Ride magazine and it's pretty rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up'n'away Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 wow theyre great thanks! The addict looks quite tempting.. but whats really the main differences in the 4pack and the addict apart from make etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARSE! Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Frame size, Cassette hub, sun rims and a few better parts on the DK, only difference really. < dont click that one lol or that Edited August 19, 2006 by Sir-GU-Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 The geometry on the Addict is better than the DK, but it looks like overall the DK has a better spec. For £49 (or something like that...) more than the DK though, you get this though, which is pretty amazingly specced. Well, well worth the extra £40 at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, well worth the extra £40 at least agreed, get the 4 seasons if you can get the extra cash, or what i would most likely do is get the addict and do it up over time.

Up'n'away Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Yeh thanks for that, i think the addict will be my best choice there.. but which one is most likely to prevent back problems? p.s haha love the mick take **btw dont click that one eitherEDIT: Also what makes the 6pack less special too? components again?

ARSE! Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 5' 11"/6ftshouldn't worry about there being a problem with those bikes, just make sure you dnt get a fame with a 19" toptube, 20.5" and above is good also higher bars may be a good idea.

Mark W Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've seen people who are 6'1" on Federal Hamiltons with 19" TTs, so it's not all bad. Generally though, it's a sound starting point to think that up to 5 1/2' - 6' = 20.5", then 6' - 6'4" or so 21, then above that = 21.25 or so.

Mark W Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 If you go to Sites, Vids & Pics there's the "Little Wheels Thread" which is 20+ pages of BMX videos On Page 15 or 16 there's a post I put in there which is just a mad long list of Youtube, Googlevideo and downloads for some full length vids too If you liked the Lotek mixtape in my sig (only £5 for the 'real' video from www.streetphire.co.uk, www.pijin.co.uk, etc.), this trailer of the Mosh mixtape should whet your appetite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
