I'm looking into a new 20" bmx frame, but I can't decide what I want exactly, geo wise. I'm sure I could get used to pretty much anything, but there are few things I'm looking for. I want it to be money for trails and only trails.... long, low, light, stable. And I also want to make it as easy a switch as possible between it and my hardtail.
So, I'm thinking about a really long TT. Like 21.25 or 21.5. Do you think that's too long? I'm 6'1" with long legs and have always liked long bikes. My old bmx is 21 and it feels fine, but I think I could go longer. And, I think longer would feel closer to my hardtail... right?
I was really thinking about the new Fit Lurch. But, the only thing holding me back from that frame is the 11.8 bb. That seems high for a trails frame. The TT and chain stays are nice and long, though. 21.25 and 14.25.
The other frame I'm looking at is the Mutiny Burlish. It comes in a 21.5 with a 14.25 cs and 11.5 bb. That sounds money to me. But, I'm wondering if it'd be too long. And if I went with the 21" version, it has shorter stays at 13.25. I'm thinking I want 14 or longer stays.
So, anyway, I can't decide. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
