brooke Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I used to ride on a 20'' Monty a few years ago now when I was younger (admittedly not very well), but sold it when I stopped using it as much as i'd like too. I am seriously thinking of getting into Trials again but was unsure about which size bike to go for. I would prefer a 20'' wheel bikes but i'm 25 years old now and 6' 3''. Will a 20'' bike be ok for someone my size or should I go for a 26''? Cheers for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o.a.s motorcycles Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Most would say get a 26" due to your size but there are many longer 20" bikes out there now which would suit you fine. Stick with what you know and go for a 20" i say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Cheers for that. I'll shop around and see if I can get one of the longer framed 20''ers. Any you can recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'd have a try before you buy. I try my lads 20" Monty out now and then, and it just don't work. I'm about 6'3 too. I can still play about on a mountain bike and quite enjoyed the few rides I've had on a 26" but the 20" just feels terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fkrisztian Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 26" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtrials31 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I say get you a long mod bike. I reccomend a long Adamant A3 as the best choice. 2nd Zoo Python long. 3rd Zona Zip. Really almost any long frame will do ok. Have a ride on somebody who has a long bike and see what you think before you spend the moneys!
