I don't know the ins and outs of Corimas but it looks like that wheel is the wrong way round. Looks like the fatter part of the spoke would be cutting through the air first, if that makes sense. I'm guessing it was built for promotional purposes but the components deserve a better frameset, soulless slave indeed.

I would have thought 54 square would be fine for someone your height, unless perhaps you're all torso or legs. I would say I'm around the same height as yourself and my 54 pre cursa is much too small. With any luck at all I'll be in receipt of a 58 Gazzetta soon-ish so I'll see how that goes. It will probably be slightly too big for me going by the book but I'm confident I'll be able to make it work comfortably.
I think there's a culture of splitting hairs when it comes to frame sizing, a hypochondria of sorts that frame dimensions have to be spot on to the millimeter. A whole lot of faffing about with perfectionism and not enough making adjustments and getting on with things(not saying that that is the case here, just a thought). Unless you're getting something custom, which is a different story. Perhaps I'm just younger and slightly more malleable and will go on to eat my words.

8.25x27 is what my united grandes are at, solid setup. I ghetto grinded my hamiltons CS down to 13.25 and slammed it, wanna move it back out to 13.5 as is sharp as fuck but just too twitchy for shooting the 3s.
Where am I wrong then, educate me.
BMX may be susceptible to waves of trends but in no way would anyone ever want to put a brake on and not do it cos they were afraid of what their riding buds would say, BMX just isn't like that.
"that a brake m8? don't bovver coming out for a session with us again" said no one, ever.
as for the big bars, for people who have rough backs as a result of BMX it makes sense and the general consensus is it gives a bit more control and stability. simples

BMX is terrible for fashion from what little I know. I hate how everyone rides brakeless... fucking nothing wrong with brakeless but I'd love to know what percentage of BMXers wish they had a brake out back but can't possibly fit one because they don't want to be the only one in their group.
And I really don't get the thing for massive bars, on MTBs as much as BMX.
You're right, you know very little.
