Adult Size Frame

[T3hscott]

Hey guys,

I'm a newbie to the BMX scene and just wandering if a 20in frame is the standard adult size!?

Thanks

All my bikes are 20", and I'm 5'11", and for the type if riding I do (pub crawls) the size is fine.

A lot of the lads ride 24" cruisers though, so you can gain a bit more comfort, I suppose.

I'm 5 foot 8 ish and I started off like you with an old 20 inch bmx frame, it was alright for nipping to work and down to the shops but it was tiring after a while so bought myself a cruiser, 24 inch wheels and bigger frame. Now its a lot easier and its far more comfy if I sit down to pedal it. The one I bought was a Specialized P24. Welcome to the world of BMX by the way

as Dan says , most people are on 20 inch frames. ive a few 24 cruisers and they are much more comfy to ride .

If you mean 20" wheel size, yes! They make frames to suit all sizes at the moment.

20" wheels and 21" top tube ... winner

Cheers all, I'm 6ft so will need to find a frame to fit me, if I want the best of both worlds I.e. Cruising and possibly attempting some jumps would 20" be ok or better to go a bit bigger on wheels?

Sorry if I sound like a complete nubbins 😁

Whatever feels comfortable for you. Try 20" & 26".
You may find that you will want both depending on your mood.

More than welcome to have a go on my 24 inch cruiser if you're local,  would give you an idea, also got a 20 inch haro to compare

if you're looking at a 20" BMX then you'll want something with at least 20.75" to 21" to make it feel roomy enough

i'm 6' 2" and have a 21" top tube frame
