ogre Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 How much are you looking to spend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrturner08 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 as ogre says it depends how much you want to spend on a bike.i'd say 20" T-pro there quite cheap and just put some better parts on, ive got one there mint to through aroundpAuL!!

Dr Dig Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 i think its just what style of riding you like. ive never realy thought tall people do stock and small people do mod or vice versa. so go with whatever one fell better when your riding it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I would say - get a stock, I cant think of any reason these days to start out on a mod (unless you are very young and couldnt handle a stock)I would look at the new Phase full bikes from MAD as they look pretty much perfect as a step into trials - good spec and geo for little money...

T-OM Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) I am also 5"9 and ride a mod which i think would also suit you for your height, i would recomend that if you get a 20" go for a t-pro 04/05. hope this helps Edited November 12, 2006 by T-OM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Yeah, T-pro 07 if you want mod, This if you want stock. Seem to be the best for the money.As for mod or stock, people are right, its not really height, I mean, I'm 5'9" and I ride 24" its style, not height, just have go's on other peoples bikes and see what you prefer.

Ryan. Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) i've looked at some of the bikes on tarty bikes and i've always been told that rim brakes are better than v (common sense) but still i dont want to spend £350 on a bike that i've then got to spend another £100 on brakes lol seems like a waste!!!
