I'm thinking of buying a BMX. But I'm not familiar with toptube lengths for different types of riding.

So, I'm almost 180cm. Gonna ride dirt/street mostly.. Would probobly go shred on the local bmxtrack too.

Will a 20.5"tt do the trick?

I'm a bit taller than you, and I ride a 20.5 tt. It pretty much all depends on prefrence. I threw some larger bars on there and I was good to go. I'd like to ride a longer top tube since I'm more of an MTB guy, but the bikes are just so cheap and accessable that it's hard not ride park, street, and DJs on them.

PS: That WTP bike is sick. I'm not that experianced when it comes to completes, or even parts for that matter, but I've heard a few good things about the salt line of cranks and hubs. You'll be pretty pleased with that rig.
