Looking to pick up a bmx bike to start riding again. Here is some info.

I am 6' 200lbs. What size top tube? 20", 20.25", 20.5", 20.75", 21"?

It seems that brakeless is the new thing. I really prefer brakes and maybe even front and rear brakes with a detangler. Is that possible in new BMX bikes? I see the Eastern Metalhead fits that description but a lot of people say eastern is not so good.

Not looking to spend more than $500. Possible to get a bike ready to ride without the need to change anything out in that budget? I am willing to spend more if there is a noticable difference in build quality or parts.

Also I was looking at the Fit bikes and see they have STR, PRK, and TRL. What is the difference between them? I would think the PRK would be best for me right? How is the PRK3?

Any other recomendations? Thanks
