!Billy_BOY! Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hey there,if you get a mod you should get a longish one, i suppose going for a 26" wouldn't be a bad idea, but its just up 2 you ain't it.HM just had a look on tart and see this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2147 , i don't no anything about that so look into it.but if i was you and was going for a 26" i would spend £100 more and go for this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=157but its up to you."hope i helped" Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrAd-Tpro Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hey mate and welcome to the forum Personally i wouldn't know about what frame is ideal for you , i mean the tpros are great for starting on and for the riders at a intermediate level, but like you say your 6'4" and tpros might be a bit small for you..Anyway hope i have somewhat helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flas12345 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 onza t-pro's are great starting bikes and i think would be okay for you but i am only 6ft and when i got mine in august last year the standars bars and stem gave really bad back problems and caused me not been able to ride for a week or so. So what i did was purchased a set of zoo riser bars and a try-all stem(31.8) and my back has been fine ever since, but because you are so tall it could to the same thing to you but maybe worse so therefore i would probably reccommend you getting a stock bike. i think a onza t-rex or a onza t-raptor would be a great stock bike to start on, but as you said you need to try out a few different bikes and see what you like best.hope i have helped you.cheers lou.

tank Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hello there, as everyone else has said i think that a mod maybe a little too small for you being so tall. If your looking for an entry level stock bike then the t-rex (as someone has already mentioned) is a pretty good choice, or you could look at the woodstock. My advice to you would be to phone up tartybikes and speak to adam or dave, they will probably be able to give better advice than me and they should help you get sorted out. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudirudirudirudirudi Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 you should go look on ebay. or on the ads on here. i found a t lite in good condition with some extra parts for £250 posted. the frame costs more than that alone so i consider it a good buy. make sure you know what condition its in. theres a t pro on it at the mo going for 250 in mint condition.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2006-Onza-t-pro-20-T...1QQcmdZViewItemcheck it out. there good bikes. hope i helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
