As the title says really, i am really wanting a ns ride after going to creation, but alas i cant afford one as yet, soooooo i thought i may as well see whats what and whats needed. i know nothing about these new bikes, flat land, street etc dont really know what the diff is. to me its either racing or freestyle but that was BITD. so i need HELP!. to make a list of parts, i may be able to by the cheaper things before i start work when a qualify in October, as i am a student nurse at the mo so cash is tight at the mo. any help will be gratefully received as regards to the type of bits needed and the gearing. i think i would prefer to build my self as if i brought one ready made i would wont to change bits and give it a cool powder coat.
If it works out to expensive i might have to buy a microwave bike, but i will see how things go.
cheers all
hope this makes sence as i have had an opp today under a general anasthetic so i am a bit head fcuked. sorry for the french but its the best way to describe it.

Yeah Mosca would be a good choice, I've just retired mine after 2 years riding. Good strong solid frames in 19.8", 20.2" & 20.6" but that's if you can find one as they have been discontinued now
I'm 5'10" & I rode the 19.8" but I like short bikes anyway. Best bet would be to have a go on a few rides & see what you like the feel of...?
good luck

Funny as FOOK Steve PMSL!
You did ask for that though mate....I'm surprised no one did it before me!
If it makes you feel any happier I'm only a 5'9" drag arse myself.
