I have not ridden BMX in literally 16 years or so. Very exited to get back in the seat.
But, I am 6' 4" and 200 pounds, a big lad. When I went to had a look at some BMX's in the local store I was shocked at the small size. I
So what bike? I want to be able to cycle to work on it and mainly do flatland/street type stuff otherwise. At my size should go for cruiser class 24" wheels?
Budget is also a restraint. I am prepared to spend up to 400 Euro.
I have been thinking of the Haro BackTrail 24 (I can get it for 320) and maybe upgrading the brakes and some odds and ends.
Will the increased top tube length and wheel size make flatland extremely difficult? Or will my size and strength be able to overcome this.
Any suggestions?
