The Hitcher Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Really you need to ride a long and short bike to find out which is best suited to you. I'm about 173cm tall and ride a 1065 zoo, i love it! But ive always rode shorter bikes, i find them easier to throw about etc... I rode my mates short zoo and then another mates 1100 limey, much prefered the shorter so went with that. so get out there and try different bikes!

da_bomb_bikes Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 ride both of them and decide what one feel best and move on from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adilogy Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Hm, now i got a problem. i don't have friends that ride a pitbull. But im riding a old GT Zaskar 12.5 and i feel it's far too short for me. My chocolate foot is always hitting the front wheel. Guess the long one would be better.

The Hitcher Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Dont matter if no-ones got one, just ride similar size wheelbase frames. But tis up to you, more people are riding longer frames these days, easier for taps i spose, but hey everyones different.Anyways hope you get yourself a nice bike soon!

Guest Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 best to get a long bike because if you suddenly grow taller then you will struggle to ride a shorter bike.its a bit like shoes you grow into them loli didnt look to see how old you are, and im pants at maths so i cant even visualise 175cm tall so its up to you mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom 20 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Long pitbull , i rode the 06 yesterday and i love it unfortunately. Rather flicky and reasonably good on the back wheel.Good build quality aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adilogy Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Thanks guys, but i think im gonna stop growing cos i am already 21. Anyway does anyone know when exactly the new ashton justice will be out? It's between the pitbull or the new justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Thanks guys, but i think im gonna stop growing cos i am already 21. Anyway does anyone know when exactly the new ashton justice will be out? It's between the pitbull or the new justice. Most ashton riders are really smooth and they seem to flow but if you look at zoo riders, they always go big, massive drop gaps ect... So it depends what style of riding suits you best. Unfortunately I don't know when its out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I am 1cm taller than you and I ride a short pitbull. I am a lot more confident I can get front wheel up and over large obstacles on it despite its shorter length. On a long one I can only get up stuff by going slowly and using pedal power to hoist up the front . For that reason get the shortyAlthough I am used to riding an Orange Zero, which is gonna be up for sale when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adilogy Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hi all, saw the onza limey which recently which has 1100 wb length and it's so massively long. The long pitbull which has about 1090 wb (only 10mm shorter than limey) should be too long for me. Im going for the SHORT~~~Will update u guess when i got the bike.
