Yo. Just ordered the flydiablo06. im 15. 5.11ish. wont grow too much more. The frame i ordered is a 21.4. I want this frame to last but still, is this frame too long? would i be better suited to a 21? i can cancel the order so any advice would be great. Please dont post if you know ****all about bikes. cheers.

Welcome to the forums!

If you type a word, and it's displayed as ****, please don't use it again.

Cheers.

You could probably get away with a 20.75" or 21" TT; there's no reason to have a frame that long if you're under 6'4" or so.

OK, soz man.
Cheers for the friendly welcome as well!
So, can anyone shed any light onto my problem, im really just looking for advice of as many people as i can get it off.

ive asked a question similar to this before and heres what i think now......im 6 foot and i ride a 21 inch ttube and i like it but i also like 20"ttubes so its personal preferance with what your comfortable on, the longer the frame the more clearance you have for bar spins but its also harder to spin....but its all up to you and what your comfortable on*

Wouldn't it also depend on whether you have longer legs or a longer torso? I know a guy that's 6'6", but he's all legs, with a short torso. Freak.

Plus i dont wanna look a complete shlong on a bike that is too small or too big. I think 21' is my best bet at the mo'. seeing as i will grow a bit and i mainly ride dirt and jumpbox stuff.adn if i do grow over the next couple of years i should be able to go up to a 21.5 max or something. Thanks for your help. Feel free to add to this as im always looking for more opinions.

You're buying a BMX. I wouldn't worry about keeping a frame for more than 2 years, max.

Im smooth and rarely ride street. im hoping to keep this frame for 2 years.

I wouldn't keep your hopes up for that length of usage if you're buying a Fly.

its personal preferance with what your comfortable on,




Yes. Test as many frames at your local riding spot as you can before you buy.

It sounds like you need a 20.75 or 21"
