BMX - Am i to big for this bike??

k i am looking to buy a 2007 dk signal for flatland. i am 6' 1''. am i to small for this bike? also can this thing grind well or should i get another bike? im like 150 pounds too is that to heavy? sorry bout these stupid questions im on a tight budget and dont want to waste my money.

No.

Edit: The answer for your questions.

so i shouldn't grind but the bike is fine?

Exactly, you could, but I wouldnt.

is their a bike thats good for flatland, i can fit on and i can grind?

Just get that one and switch the pegs.

uhhh i thought you meant the bike couldn't do it wat pegs should i get then???

It can just the pegs aren't made for grinding. Odyssey JPeg lite.

thank you im going out to buy the bike and pegs i really hope ur right.

i gotta buy 2 sets of em right?

wat about gyros is the one that comes with it ok? or should i buy another one separate?

Fuzzybox, stop giving advice if you don't know what you're talking about.

It's not just the pegs that aren't meant for grinding, it's the entire bike. And having non-knurled pegs on a flatland bike is totally useless.

EDIT: The stock gyro is fine.

so i still cant grind?

nope

more questions:
is their a bike that i can fit on: 6' 1" 150 pounds can do flatland and grind. also will this bike be fine for me even though im 6' 1'' and 150 pounds?

Just because it says flatland doesn't mean you can't go off some stairs once in a while or grind some ledges. I have a bike for dirt and I ended up switching to street and I still use it.

yea but you can only "pick up ur front tire and put it on a bench cause i stink" quoted that from your post on another thread. and i dont wanna break a $300 bike.

There is practically no difference between a dirt, street or park bike. However, there is a huge difference between those and a flatland bike. The rear of the flatland bike is not made to grind, grinding puts A LOT of force on chainstays and seatstays. Hell, my STREET frame is bent because of it.

And no, there are no flatlander bikes that can grind and hold up to it. Only grinds I've seen on flatland bikes was catfish doing a small feeble grind down a small, smooth ledge at a skatepark.

That' cause I can't bunny hop high enough, and I doubt your going to be grinding 24/7 on it.

Edit: I had a race bike given to me and I learned street stuff on that I don't see one problem with it.

ok so i need 2 bikes. but that still hasnt answereed my first question.

im 6' 1" and 150 pounds will this bike work for me!

Yes, it will.

Fuzzybox, stop arguing, you wont win.

The TT might be a little small since it's 19''

Im not trying to win, I'm saying everything you say isn't always the case.

Flatland bikes are all damn small, I ride ramps, street and DJ's on my 20.1, and it feels a little long when I try to do hang fives and such. Bottom line is he'll get used to it.

Also, what the hell kind of street stuff can you learn if you cant even hop?

wethepeople: thank you for helping me

fuzzbox:thank you for giving me comical entertainment now go home and play dressup.

note: i will be back after dinner!

Also, have you looked into the KHS bikes?

I can hop, I just can't hop high enough to get to a hand rail and that stuff.

Answer my question, what kind of street stuff do you know then. Hand rails aren't the only things to grind, there are benches, ledges, higher curbs, jersey barriers and other stuff.

Stuff involving ledges and stairs. Obviously, handrails aren't the only things.

Like what, what can you do.

"Stuff involving stairs and ledges"

Lets me guess, you can ride down the stairs and drop off of the ledges.

no i havent

looked into khe bikes

i dont know cause i get a discount with dk cause i know this guy

X up, wall ride, almost table top, kickout, and I can't think of anything else at the moment.

KHE, thats what I meant. I had a brain fart, I work at a shop that has KHS stuff.

KHE, KHS, same thing. :D

Btw did you hear that FedEx and UPS are joining forces to become FedUp?

I'd like to see pictures. If you post pictures of you doing any of these, I will post a bike check.

Eventually.
