I'm thinking of starting BMX, cos my new MTB frame is far too large. I'm thinking of spending £150, possibly £200. Problem is I'm 6"3 and almost 15 stone so I'm looking for something pretty dmn robust. Cheerz for any help.

trls 250-dirt/trail
sta 500-street/park
lengthy-i think racing
tao-freestyle
if you want freestyle,look into the ares ashuri complete.
i hear the strongest freestyle bike.
I'm 6'4" / 220 lbs and ride an Alliant 24" XL Billet
Alliantbicycles.com
I met a guy recently who rides a Gack 26", while it's not a popular bike (but it is a popular company) he advised Gack had the tubing et al to build a few more on demand
but i'm a little confused; are you looking for a frame to ride BMX? or a BMX frame to ride MTB?

I'm looking for a BMX frame, I need something fairly cheap cos I can't afford a whole new MTb right now, but I want something more maneuvrable than my XC MTB so that I can still dirtjump or do light street stuff.

more important then which frame is what materials the frame is made of. as long as you get a frame thats made of 4130 chromoly it should hold up. for your height i'd recommend a top tube of 21 inches. those two factors should help you decide which bike is for you. or at least narrow down the field of choices
To Save YOu the Trouble of having 2 go through , go to www.huffybikes.com or www.harobikes.com or www.freeagentbmx.com you'll have to shop around and find a frame that you feel comfortable with ....
