I think he meant 21.75 maybe but im not sure.

He meant 20.75", obviously. You'd need to be at least 6'6" to need a 21.75" top tube.

I think he meant 21.75 maybe but im not sure.
oh, so if a 21 is too long, the guy would say 21.75? you are such a moron

It's really hard to come to his defense in this case.

OK I wasnt gunna start but here I'm just gunna say a few things then end it. Are you in highschool all honors classes have a ton of homework everyday, after school you go to work so you can have money to pay for you cell phone and all the other **** you have. Then you come home and are told that you are goin to be movin in about 2-3 weeks. Then you have to go up to your barn and clean out horse stall's then you have to finish closing it in and put the heating and lights in before winter comes. Then go and do your homework. Then hope that you can go and get out and be with your girlfreind work on my xterra to finish makin it a perfect offroad ride. Then hope to be able to go ride my bike and then put up with you guys just for fun. OK im done.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. The worst part bein whens i gotta clean out da barn, with all them horse *****.

Now my head just hurts.

blah blah blah

No, but I work a 40-hour week, go to college, get drunk, and still find time to ride my bike.

Should I mention the fact that all that BS you posted doesn't change the fact that you're still a 'tard?

Ok, can we give it a rest now?

Only if you reply to this with a Foreigner lyric.

I'm hot blooded enough already. Stupid collection agency supervisor just copped an earful.

Do you have a fever of a hundred-and-three?

I pay my bills on time.

Usually.

It's not even my bill. It's in dispute, and they've been advised that it's outright harassment. And I offended the supervisor by spelling her surname wrong, as she pointed out she's English, not American.

By the way, I went to college for 9 years. Now I work a 50 hour week, run a side business, and still make a bit of time for the wife, kids, and riding. Maybe not always in that order though.

I see that you got that in before the edit. Good show.

Work sucks today. Really bad. My lasagna went cold too.

I just had dinner. It was a Payday bar. I need something to drink, becuase the chewy caramel and peanuts is choking me.

Thanks.

Mmmm. Payday. My days of a Coke and Snickers bar are over. I'm about to dig into a Ruby Red grapefruit.

The topic is:
>how long should a ttube be for a 5'11" rider?????and why? cuz im 5'10" and i think my 21" ttube i
>s to long for me

For a 5'10 street rider you need a tube that's 20 5/8 - 21 inches.

========Height VS top tube size==
Up to 5'3->~20.25
5'3 - 5'6"--> 20 - 20.5
5'6 - 5'9"--> 20.25 - 20.75
5'9" - 6' --> 20 5/8 - 21
6'+ -------> 20.75+

Why would you remove that? There was nothing bad or offencive about it.

Yeh I get around. And not just a car, an 03 Xterra SE SUPERCHARGED lifted 2inches with offroad tires and its fully built for offroad. And it was the highest model they made in 03.

No Xterra was ever built for off road. But if you'd like to debate that, we can break this off and move it to Foo.

I have a car. And it's not just a car either. It's a hatchback.

hatchbacks are nice, but vans are better! except if you have to pay for gas.

Sweet.

Try payn for gas for my baby its a killer.

Not really, seeing as how my car has a better turning radius, faster rate of acceleration*, higher gas mileage, narrower width, and shorter length than any van (or minivan, for that matter) on the market.

*This doesn't include the ridiculous V-12 monstrosity that Renault (or was it Peugeot?) made a concept model several years back.

i can't imagine bringing a girl to my farm. it would suck to lose your virginity on a stack of hay. Girlfriends suck.

Every once and a while a post makes me laugh out loud. That was one of them.

Oh, crew cab Hemi Dodge Ram. :) Or also known as "friend of fuel pumps. "

Girlfriends suck.

They do other things, too.

some of them ride pretty good

lol hahahahaha

Can I ask where you got that chart? I'm guessing I'm going to need a 20.75, which I'm guessing is going to be a bit hard to find.

20.75" is a pretty normal length for a top tube.

I'd thought that there weren't as many 6'+ BMXer's

That's a freestyle bike, not a race bike.

6'+ -------> 20.75+

thats probably a good chart to go by but i wouldnt trust a chart that....its more of a personall opinion. for instance im about 5' 6" and ride a 20" tt whereass my friend is 5' 7" and rides a 21" and my other friend is 5 ' 4" and rides 20.5"tt and wants to get a 20.825 soon.....the point is its mostly personall preference...try riding a friends bike that has a longer tt. the bike will feel different but try doing like a kickthrough (can can) while just pedaling down the street and see how that feels like if theres more clearence. and just feel how the pedaling feels in relation to your knees and the handlebars. with a shorter bike it will probably be easier to spin.
