Bro, I love your name!!!! I am exactly that guy right now. An old and fat man who wants a BMX 😂😂😂 I gained 75 pounds in a year, well 13 or 14 months on this medication, but it’s a medication I need to take I can’t just stop it, otherwise I wouldn’t be taking it, however, without it, I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed in the day due to the severity of my chronic pain.
Source bmx size guide is >> 3ft - 4ft - best suited to a 16" or 18" wheeled bike 4ft - 5ft - 18" to 20" top tube 5ft - 5ft 4" - 20" to 20.25" top tube 5ft 4" - 5ft 8" - 20.25" to 21" top tube 5ft 8" - 6ft - 21" to 21.25" top tube 6ft Plus - 21" top tube or longer I'm 6ft 4" always rode a 21" but I'm on a 20.75 top tube and find spins and manuals easier on my new 20.75 top tube frame the wheels are more closer together i run a longer stem 53mm reach 👍
I use to ride a frame that was 21 inch top tube and 13.75 back end and still did 360s perfect now I ride a 21inch top tube 12.75 back end and I’m about 5’5 to 5’6
6’10” here, I rode a MacNeil Deuce Deuce back when high school before going to a 24” and then back to a 22” more recently. For me a 22” complete with a 22” top tube was comfortable and more nimble than a 24”. It felt more like the bikes I used to ride
@@Brant_Moore Brant, you are the only person that has ever considered us taller folk. I’ve been watching you on and off for 2 years, and you have done so much good for our community.
I'm just getting into it. Before looked into much and had just decided to get a bike I got a micargi maze 20"tt and felt squished. After looking into it more I got a 21" bike and it feels so comfortable
Wish my buddy AL would see this video. Been telling him he's too short (5'5) for a 21"tt. Its comfortable he says. I say you're struggling to move that thing around and you're limiting what you can do I told him. I also thing he rides a 21tt because he's compensating for something else. I'm 5'9 and have ridden everything between 20tt and 21tt. 20.5 is perfect for park and street. 21 works best for me on dirt. Good video Brant. Hope it helps those in search of that sweet frame length that we desire to enjoy bmx to the fullest.
Joy of Bike's channel has an interesting measuring tip they call "RAD" which measures from the bb to the handle bar that should atleast be equal (or +/-) to your foot planted on the ground up to your fist when you stand up. The channel is mainly MTB but it has a little bmx put into it. The tips and tricks (including geometry and technical stuff) works the same on all bikes. Really interesting channel to check out.
I’ve always ran a 21 being 5’11 but last summer I thought I’d try a 20.75. It was cool honestly more snappy but to short honestly. I do however wanna try a 21.25 someday
Great video! Like you said this chart is great for entry level riders or people coming back to bmx. I think it would be cool to see a more advanced chart that took into account riding styles, geometry, and height. So for someone getting good at lots of tailwhips and spins tricks what frames to look for in their height with what geometry.
thought i ordered a normal size bike but ordered a 16 inch one lol thank god i seen this video before it got shiped out. Nice Video man. and i am getting a hoffman bmx
Hey man, just found your channel recently. Love it. I used to ride BMX as a kid/teen. I've recently gotten into MTB for the exercise but find myself running laps at the jump lines. I'm thinking about getting a BMX but need a suggestion on a do it all bike dirt/park. Keep in mind when I last rode BMX GT, Haro, Dimondback, and Mongoose were the top brands lol
the kink whip, sunday ex and cult devotion are my first picks tbh, these will all take a very good beating and the geometry is very balanced for all 3 styles of freestyle riding being street park and trails i also highly recommend picking up some new tyres with a nice high psi rating 100-110psi is a good range especially if you plan on riding fast trails and park transition, the decreased rolling resistance is gonna make you fly around the bowl, trails and pump track to the point you may overshoot a box or 2 after you first pump them up. i have a set of demolition momentums because thats what everyone else recommended to me and i absolutely love them, although any high pressure tyre can work, path pros (NON OEM), donnastreet/donnasqueak, hammerheads and brocs are more all amazing choices
Hey ol’ boys. I’m a lifelong rider, primarily enduro and downhill but have always had a smaller kit for screwing around on jumps with the young bucks. Through the 90s I rode 24” cruisers then when dirt jumpers became a thing I rocked those. During the lockdown, I was digging jumps with the neighborhood kids. Since I was the adult I volunteered to be the test monkey. We built 6 doubles the last being a step-down. On the second run and hotdogging for the crowd, I carried too much speed, overshot the last hit landing out in the flats, bottoming my forks, folded over the bars , broke a couple of ribs yet managed to stay up,but I killed my Aaron Chase model with a HTxDT separation. I crawled up into a pick-up bed so the guys could run me down to the gas station for some Advil and a couple of 40ouncers. Running to the E.R. wasn’t an option at the time . Plus they can’t do anything for ribs really. Sitting on the tailgate feeling so old and uncool , It was then and there that the kids convinced me to get a BMX but, honestly I was reluctant to have committed myself. Untill I found my Goldilocks on the webs that night. A little German girl but not to little. 3 weeks later I was feeling better when she came together. My WeThePeople Audio 22-Éclat is probably my most favorite bike in the quiver. I know Brant isn’t old enough to appreciate how perfect 22 inch wheels are for dirt. They’re totally flickable compared to cruisers and DJs but way more planted than 20s Unless you’re intending to grind pegs , 22s are the perfect for trails, pump tracks , a bit of vert and enhancing your overall handling skills. That bike has seriously built my confidence up which has helped me immensely with my balancing point on the bigger MTBs out in the boondocks. 22s are the perfect fit for old fart/kid at heart . All the major brands are offering a 22” model. Besides frameset , rims and rubber, all of the other parts are standard BMX.
Bike size is complicated... example Mike Hoder rides a shorter bike then Chase Hawk despite being almost a foot taller and heavier. Steve Hamilton was jumping big gaps on a 19 inch flatland frame while Edwin delarosa was getting tech on a super long fit frame.
@@Brant_Moore for sure, im curious if you made this video 10 years in the past or future if that would change things by a quarter or half an inch... and why.
That’s a really interesting thought. I feel like BMX has kind of settled on geometry and bike construction so it would be interesting to hear what the recommendations were in the past. I guess it depends on how they figure them out
Solid video Brant. Have you thought of comparing frames/ parts to show the difference? ie Fit Hartbreaker vs S&M Tallboy or even a Nowear frame... to explain the reason why someone would chose one or the other?
I am 6'2" and I've been riding on a 20" frame for a whole year thinking it was a 21" and it always bothered me, I cant wait to get a 21" now lol. Kinda feels like I've been getting held back this whole time
I’ve been thinking about what frame to buy for months now.. most seem like they are sold out. Wanted the trans blue Matt Ray mr1 but it’s long gone 😭 help me brant, what frames do you like for mostly a park rider/ sometimes street?
@@Brant_Moore just checked it out and you’re right. Costs a bit but the dimensions are pretty midline like you said. Might just cop one . Gotta pick a color. Kinda like the billiard green
I’m 21, 5’5, and I went from 160 back in 2019 to 250 rn in 2022, can anyone recommend a good starter bike? I honestly just got bored of the gym and I used to ride bikes all the time when I was younger but never a bmx bike. Just looking for a bike that I could use riding around the neighborhood, also a new skate park opened up in my city so I’m looking to check that out too
Im 6ft 2 and ride a 60cm road bike but it's a way different measurement then top tube I think I should get a 21" frame but im thinking maybe even bigger I can't ride any bike to see what's the right size I gotta order it online
Got the same problem, I’m 6ft 3, didn’t have a chance to try different frames, I used to ride like 6 years ago, I was nearly 6’1-2”, I had cult os v3 21.25, it was pretty good. Did you manage to buy a frame for yourself? I’m planning to go back and build a new bike. Will wait for your reply!
I have a quest man. I wasnt to know. Do you know where to find the Hammer and the Pacific hammer or someone who might know? They were from the late 80s early 90s. The hammer was purple. The Pacific Hammer was chrome and trimmed in purple chrome.
Great video! These measurements came in clutch! my 7 year old is exactly 4ft tall, so im guessing the 18in would be a good size to grow in to.. HOWEVER, you did mention there are other mods we can make to make the bike feel longer etc.. (so im going to check that video out). You got me thinking - should I get the 16incher and mod it as he grows, or just stick with the 18incher? Thanks
I think your logic on the 18 makes a lot of sense. I would see if there's any possible way to try an 18 inch or a 16 before buying just to get a gauge. If that's not possible, I do think the 18 makes the most sense at 4 foot even.
@@xolarp067 average height for North American male at 7-years-old is 47.5” and average weight is 52 lbs 7 oz. Damn. Your interest in and knowledge of 7-year-old boys takes you beyond the title of web troll. XolarPEDO
im around 5'9 or 5'10 and got a kink gap xl (21" top tube) off an ebay bid, is that too big for my size (i havent rode it yet cuz its missing crank arms that havent shipped yet)
Still confused on the geometry. I’m 5 10” height and was looking at the KHE Plasma for flatland or the Wethepeople Sinus. The KHE is 21.25 where as the Sinus is 19tt l think. In your honest opinion which would the better to run with for my height?
Hi. I am considering buying the kink whip 20’ for Christmas for my son by your review on it. He is 10yo and 4’6 high. Would it be to big for him ? Currently he is riding a 18’ specialized regular bike in the park but it’s not a bmx. Thanx for any advice
It will likely feel big for him at first but he’ll also grow into it. It’s a tough call being between sizes like that. There are some good 18” bmx bikes out there from companies like Kink, Sunday, and WeThePeople. I suppose it ultimately comes down to how long you want this bike to last for him. If you don’t mind looking at another bike like the whip or a custom build in 2-3 years, then I would go with one of the higher end 18” bikes. It’s going to be much easier for him to maneuver and learn on than a full size 20” bike. It may not be built from the same materials as the full chromoly bikes I recommend but at 10 years old I feel kids are light enough to not have to worry quite as much about those things
Thanks. Going by those measurements for tricks, i should be 20.5 or plus-one on that for less-tricks (trade-off), 21... depending on price of parts. Going to forks to change to even lesser-tricks... for a bigger front wheel for easier starter learner. Moving to rear... for ... speed I should be left with basic jumps of front, rear, both. Review findings... 1/18.th-inch headset is needed for many parts (at wide price ranges, from bikes to kick-scooters to...). Personally like the look of (fat-)double-shoulder (suspension)fork, maybe have to 24 inch wheel on a 26inch fork on a 21inch top-tube(BMX). Limiter = If its expensive, it gets stolen...
Imma tryin to cheatin for rear-wheel lift, lift the height of the rear wheel hub to the height of the front wheel hub, match height, effortlessly. Annoying others with constant(incessant) rear wheel up-down the kerb-side (while front remains grounded on the road)...
Is there a way to make a bike feel bigger? Rn i have a top load stem but if i get a front load with higher bars will that push them away and raise them a little?
That's a personal preference question. If you feel your bars are too far out or you want a more reactive feel while turning then shorter reach may help
My friends daughter is 3’8” and is on a 14” pretty comfortably. So probably a 16” for 3’10”-4’6”. If you decide to get a Fit Bike Co bike you can save 10% by using the code “BRANT”
@@Brant_Moore thanks for the fast reply I really want 20.75 but I can get a brand used kink whip for $275 but it's a 20.5 and wheel base seems short and looks kinda kidish.
It wouldn’t be too bad. I might recommend 20.75. If you decide to go with a Fit Bike Co bike from their site you can save 10% on it with the code “MOORE”
@Brant_Moore yeah, but I don't have money. I'm only 14 years old, so if this size would be good for as of currently, then if I should be fine, I just need an opinion from someone with more knowledge on this.
Hey im 6’ (180cm) And i consider what size should i get i was riding cult shorty os 20,75 inch for couple od years And it felt little bit small, i’ve also a 12 us feet And sometimes when i did barspins my front feet hit the wheel Shall i get 21 or bigger frame, ima street rider And almost makeing 540 on flat also im doing truckdriver on flat. It wont be a barier if i change on bigger frame ?
Well the longer frame will certainly affect how spinning feels. If you’re mostly worried about feet room and how the length feels there’s ways to adjust for that and keep your same frame geo. A longer reach stem will make your bike feel longer. It’s possible that it will affect barspins so maybe try one before committing. Shorter cranks will give you more foot room without affecting toooo much in terms of pedaling. You may notice it but it’s something you get used to quick. If shorter cranks makes pedaling feel too easy, you can get a bigger sprocket. There’s usually a second way to get a certain feel of the bike
If you're still growing 20.75 could be a good future proof option. If not, Id consider what tricks you want to do and how a longer bike might impact them.
My child is 3’11”, but the size chart shown doesn’t reflect 3’10”-4’6”. We ordered a 16.5 TT 16” wheel Primer. According to BMXGuru he can ride it until he’s 4’4”.
If you find that the bike feels massive for him it would probably be worth considering a 14” and keeping the 16 for when he grows into it. The smaller bmx bike space is growing so quickly
I am 5ft, I don't think I'm gonna grown up anymore because I'm already 17 (small family), and the only BMX I can afford at this time is 20.5, can someone tell me if I'm gonna be able to do the BMX tricks?
whats your thoughts on this, A 20.75 frame with a 13.75cs and 74.5ht would have the same feel as a 21tt with a 13.5cs and a 75ht , cause im 5 6' and ride a 21tt with a 13.75cs 74.5Ht angle but was thinking to go smaller and get a more agile frame but dont want to sacrifice leg room cause I rode a 20.75 before and it felt a little small or tight.. any advice thanks
Whats your stem/ bar setup? If u running frontloads theres room to experiment with toploads, even taller bars. Or a spacer or two may suffice. I seriously think you gonna love the shorter tt. My case I hv a Blckeye 6° bcksweep bar which really surprised me with certain setups.
Adding in your stem/bar setup would help. If you get a shorter top tube, you could get a longer reach stem to still have that leg room but also see the benefits of a shorter frame.
“What size bike should I get “ is the question I get asked more than any other that I have no idea how to answer, great idea to do this!
Thanks man, I get it a lot too and never even thought to do this until this week

Still confused on the geometry. I’m 5 10” height and was looking at the KHE Plasma for flatland or the Wethepeople Sinus. The KHE is 21.25 where as the Sinus is 19tt l think. In your honest opinion which would the better to run with for my height?
I’m 5’9 I just bought a ozark trail 20 inch it fits me well the24 inch just didn’t feel right
I'm 5,6 feet high, is a 20.4 frame good for me or 20.8 frame? Because the frame I wanna buy has only this two sizes (tall order 187v3 frame)
20.4 sounds better for your height IMO
Awesome video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi, I wanted to ask you a favor, could you make a video, about assembling a bmx for a 1.80 height rider?
With all the sizes, because I don't understand English so much, and this is the only video I have found of the bmx sizes
I’m 6’1 and I ride a 24 inch cruiser XL limo free agent but at times I feel like I need the next bigger size smh !!
Hi. A Redline John Purse signature series frame. 4130 big block is good for a 11 year old?
I am 5'4 what bar rise should I get
Hi.
I am considering buying the kink whip 20’ for Christmas for my son by your review on it.
He is 10yo and 4’6 high.
Would it be to big for him ?
Currently he is riding a 18’ specialized regular bike in the park but it’s not a bmx.
Thanx for any advice
It will likely feel big for him at first but he’ll also grow into it. It’s a tough call being between sizes like that. There are some good 18” bmx bikes out there from companies like Kink, Sunday, and WeThePeople.
I suppose it ultimately comes down to how long you want this bike to last for him. If you don’t mind looking at another bike like the whip or a custom build in 2-3 years, then I would go with one of the higher end 18” bikes. It’s going to be much easier for him to maneuver and learn on than a full size 20” bike.
It may not be built from the same materials as the full chromoly bikes I recommend but at 10 years old I feel kids are light enough to not have to worry quite as much about those things
@@Brant_Moore appreciate the response, thanx
Can u do a tut on how to figure out how you figure out what size pegs u need to fit ur axle (the part that screws on not the length of the peg)
Nice video! Im 5’3 - 5’5 and im thinking about getting a 20.75 bmx, you thing is good?
I'm thinking about getting a new custom brake setup with a straight cable, what would you recommend?
The Kink Desist seems pretty good for what's available right now
@@Brant_Moore thank you, I appreciate it, kink makes really good brake stuff
I'm 5ft 11, I like the 20.6ish top tube
Thanks.
Going by those measurements for tricks, i should be 20.5 or plus-one on that for less-tricks (trade-off), 21... depending on price of parts.
Going to forks to change to even lesser-tricks... for a bigger front wheel for easier starter learner.
Moving to rear... for ... speed
I should be left with basic jumps of front, rear, both.
Review findings... 1/18.th-inch headset is needed for many parts (at wide price ranges, from bikes to kick-scooters to...).
Personally like the look of (fat-)double-shoulder (suspension)fork, maybe have to 24 inch wheel on a 26inch fork on a 21inch top-tube(BMX). Limiter = If its expensive, it gets stolen...
Imma tryin to cheatin for rear-wheel lift, lift the height of the rear wheel hub to the height of the front wheel hub, match height, effortlessly. Annoying others with constant(incessant) rear wheel up-down the kerb-side (while front remains grounded on the road)...
Thanks this really helps me 😁
Is there a way to make a bike feel bigger? Rn i have a top load stem but if i get a front load with higher bars will that push them away and raise them a little?
You can get a stem with longer reach to put it further away. Taller bars may help as well since it will make you stand more upright
what if there's only 20.5 frame size in my city, will it be a big problem for me (i'm 190cm / 6'2)
I am 6”3 or 4 I got an blueprint Sunday 20’5 is that good size ?
Brant im 5'8 what top tube size should i get? Should i get 20.75 or 21?
I’m 6”0 is 20inch tiers vaild?
Of course
Sup bro. I used to ride bmx couple years ago, I want buy new bike. I’m 6’2” highest. Witch frame I need??
5'5 tall. My current set up 20.5 toptube and 50mm stem reach. Just thinking switch to 46mm reach Total V3 team stem? Should I?
That's a personal preference question. If you feel your bars are too far out or you want a more reactive feel while turning then shorter reach may help
@@Brant_Moore feel farout when I do Barspin for sure my barspin is not perfect. But total stem is for park riders right? I ride streets
Anyone know what size bike I should get my 7 year old 4,4 cousin for his birthday?
Informative channel 🇵🇭.
Thank ya! I do my best!
nice what about the 3'10 to 4'6 range?
My friends daughter is 3’8” and is on a 14” pretty comfortably. So probably a 16” for 3’10”-4’6”.
If you decide to get a Fit Bike Co bike you can save 10% by using the code “BRANT”
Am 5'9 so I should go 20.25?
Im 5'10" should i get the kink whip xl 21"
Or should i get the kink whip 20.5"
Depends on what type of riding you plan to do. 21 will probably feel more comfortable, but 20.5 could be better for spinning and technical riding
@@Brant_Moore thanks for the fast reply I really want 20.75 but I can get a brand used kink whip for $275 but it's a 20.5 and wheel base seems short and looks kinda kidish.
at is the mddle triangle inch space?
Should I get it the smallest if I’m into tricks
I'm 5'8. Would a bike with 20-inch rims and a 20.6 top tube be good for me ?
It wouldn’t be too bad. I might recommend 20.75. If you decide to go with a Fit Bike Co bike from their site you can save 10% on it with the code “MOORE”
@Brant_Moore yeah, but I don't have money. I'm only 14 years old, so if this size would be good for as of currently, then if I should be fine, I just need an opinion from someone with more knowledge on this.
Is 20 good for 5’4
What is the shorter chainstay 12.7 or 12.75?
The smaller number is shorter
Hey im 6’ (180cm) And i consider what size should i get i was riding cult shorty os 20,75 inch for couple od years And it felt little bit small, i’ve also a 12 us feet And sometimes when i did barspins my front feet hit the wheel Shall i get 21 or bigger frame, ima street rider And almost makeing 540 on flat also im doing truckdriver on flat. It wont be a barier if i change on bigger frame ?
Or shall i get something like 20.9/20.8 inch ?
Well the longer frame will certainly affect how spinning feels. If you’re mostly worried about feet room and how the length feels there’s ways to adjust for that and keep your same frame geo.
A longer reach stem will make your bike feel longer. It’s possible that it will affect barspins so maybe try one before committing. Shorter cranks will give you more foot room without affecting toooo much in terms of pedaling. You may notice it but it’s something you get used to quick. If shorter cranks makes pedaling feel too easy, you can get a bigger sprocket.
There’s usually a second way to get a certain feel of the bike
@@Brant_Moore i forgot mansioned that i already Have 160 mm cranks And cult topload 51 mm

i would wish to buy the tall order flair with top tube 20.6, i'm 170/175cm is it good for me?(i'll not grow up, i'm already 22)
It really depends on what type of riding you want to do, but that frame size is a decent fit for your height
I’m 5,6 in a half can I use a 29 size???
i’m 5’4”-5’5” is 20 inches good for me
Im 5'6-5'7 and just bought a 21 frame bike. Is it too large?
Nice vid I'm 6 foot 9 been wondering even if I could get into this Thanks
@LG3 Daniel yeaaaaah
I’m 5’3 is a 20.75 top tube good or nah or rather a 20.5 top tube
If you're still growing 20.75 could be a good future proof option. If not, Id consider what tricks you want to do and how a longer bike might impact them.
I'm 16 and 5'7 nearly 5'8 any bike recommendations??
also great video bro.
My child is 3’11”, but the size chart shown doesn’t reflect 3’10”-4’6”. We ordered a 16.5 TT 16” wheel Primer. According to BMXGuru he can ride it until he’s 4’4”.
If you find that the bike feels massive for him it would probably be worth considering a 14” and keeping the 16 for when he grows into it.
The smaller bmx bike space is growing so quickly
what about handlebar height for BMX, especially in the 20-21 inch "classic full-size frame" ?
I am 5”4 what size bike should I ride
Where would you recommend buying a BMX bike?
Your local bike shop and Stacked BMX shop online!
hi can i ask im 12 years old im 5 foot 1 what inch bmx do i need
Can a 6ft ride a 20inch wheels without looking goofy
Of course
My sons 4 foot tall should he get a 16 inch or 18 inch?
16” will probably fit him better
I am 5'5" and I have a 20.75" TT, does the 0.25" really make a difference?
if its comfortable for you it should be fine
Comfort is all that really matters. If you feel good on the bike and feel like you can learn on it, then it's all good
I’m 5’8 would a 20.5 or 20.75 fit me better
I'm 5ft 6 and ride a 19.25 toptube bmx
I got a whole new bmx bike and my legs can barely move when sitting, such a pain
By including the metric system you would reach a much wider audience. But I get it if you are only aiming for American viewers.
Dang it, I meant to include it and forgot
I am 5ft, I don't think I'm gonna grown up anymore because I'm already 17 (small family), and the only BMX I can afford at this time is 20.5, can someone tell me if I'm gonna be able to do the BMX tricks?
That should be just right for ya!
I m 1.7 heigth of my person i d like to know to an flat lander my bike geometry i check out from Guadeloupe
I'm 5'2" what tube length
im 6,2 ant i ride 20,50 and its very comfortable
What size bike i get? im 190cm tall
why do these bikes always seem too small im 6 feet and i feel like 20 inches is too small
They make bigger bikes man!
Im 5 3 and 13 yo so i grow should i get a 20.75?
That could be a good option
I am 1.67 can I drive 20’’ or 20.75 ? Please answer
Ya my boys 5’9 - 5’11 so I’ll definitely looking for 21
Perfect and will be good if he grows any more
@@Brant_Moore ya bud he is 14 so I think he may have a couple inches to go
im 6'3" and i ride a 18" wheel bike. because i also ride a 20" unicycle.
I want to get a 24", i am 5,10, I rode a 20" and it felt miniature to me. Is 24 too big,?.
what did you get? I'm 5'9" and I got a 24" and I love it. 24" feels a little small so a 20" is out of the question.
@@RotterStudios I got a 24 , it's the right fit for me for sure
I’m 5’6 can I ride a 21”
whats your thoughts on this, A 20.75 frame with a 13.75cs and 74.5ht would have the same feel as a 21tt with a 13.5cs and a 75ht ,
cause im 5 6' and ride a 21tt with a 13.75cs 74.5Ht angle but was thinking to go smaller and get a more agile frame but dont want to sacrifice leg room cause I rode a 20.75 before and it felt a little small or tight..
any advice thanks
Whats your stem/ bar setup? If u running frontloads theres room to experiment with toploads, even taller bars. Or a spacer or two may suffice. I seriously think you gonna love the shorter tt. My case I hv a Blckeye 6° bcksweep bar which really surprised me with certain setups.
Adding in your stem/bar setup would help. If you get a shorter top tube, you could get a longer reach stem to still have that leg room but also see the benefits of a shorter frame.
@@Brant_Moore thanks!
5.10 t and I ride a 20.6 love frame
aaalright, the bmx i like is just my size, im 6ft ... ima buy it.
Make sure it’s a good one first!
i’m 5’0 and ride a 20 inch top tube
