After 5 months of being back on my bike i have finally listened to all my mates and changed my frame.
I was riding a we the people beyond frame with a 20.6 tt but ive changed to a Volume 21 tt.I always thought it was so anal thinking half inch would make me ride better so just kept on with the 20.6.It was riding vert last week when id had enough of lack of control in the air and an old mate telling me how mad i am riding a small frame on vert i thought fook it,credit crunch,im having a new frame.
Been looking at the jason Enns Volume for a while.knowing hes tall like me i thought this would be a nice frame and i got it for £106 inc postage,bargain!

Tested it out yesterday and it was not a case of getting use to it,it was a perfect ride even if i did take a fooking hard stack!

I never thought I'd see the words 'anal' and 'half an inch making all the difference' in a BMX Freestyle thread, especially not from you.

I'm glad you're sorted mate, wise choice.

Oooh - when you said fire pit - I thought you meant a pit where there had once been a fire - not where they was a fire when that pic was taken!!!
