Bike Sizing
I picked up an fbm executioner today off craigslist, 200.00. I am about 5'10 and the bike just feels real small. I searched for bikie sizing on danscomp and the fram and everything is the right size for me. Does it just take some gettin used to. Sorry guys been out of this for quite a while. havnt ridden a bmx bike since i was 17 and now 35. So bare with me.

I'm getting back in at 43 
. Any frame between 20.5 and 21" should be workable for you. 20.5 could (by general guidelines) be a little cramped. It's boils down to personal preference. I am 5' 9" and from all the research I've conducted a 20.75/.8 is probably ideal for me/us.

I'm 5'9" as well and my bike is a 20.5 and it feels cramped. I guess it's because I haven't biked in ages and i'm not used to it.
