BMX: Frame sizing?

Posted on
  • so i've caught the BMX bug...after getting shafted on ebay with a frame (cunt!) I'm now looking for a another one.i was wondering how important sizing was in BMX terms...i'm quite sure its not as important as road/track frame sizing.
    would i be stupid to get a s&m PBR frame thats too small for me even if it is super cheap?
    love aidan.x

  • how tall are ya? and what are you using the bmx frame for?

    if ur 6ft and over... u want a 20.8 or 21inchframe.. regardless of dirt/street needs

  • yes you would. IMHO

    I'm 6 foot 1 and Ride Pro XXL although if you are looking at tt lengths 21 - 21.5 is my preference.

    What are you using it for is also another thought. My flatland bike is tiny.

  • i'm 6ish and will be using it for street...winstanleys have a PBR for 100 but the only size they have is 18.25 tt
    it was just wishful thinking,i really want an S&M frame! winstanleys also have a T1 barcode 04 for 100 in 20.6 tt...thats more of a realistic option i think.

  • 18.25 will be bad.

    I wish I stil had my S&M frames :(

  • If you want come round mine one evening and try out my bike Adian. I think that is 20.8"

  • Dude, I'm short and I hate riding anything shorter than a 21, it's personal preference but anything shorter than a 20 would be very cramped for you.

  • yeh. nothing shorter than 20.6 m8

    try Tommy's bmx (it was mine) and it fit just nicely... i do believe its 20.8 :)

  • im 6ish and i ride a standard trail boss 20.5 tt i think it is i forget. as object says personal preferance. There seems to be quite a few bmx riders on here. Anyone fancy meeting for a ride?

  • I'm 6ft and this fits me perfect for dirt jumps ;-)

    With the seat in the correct position obviously

  • i ride an s&m l.a.f. (lucky me!). I'm 6feet and its 21tt....you'll def need 20.8 or longer if you're gonna throw your weight about on it!
