Bike Frame
What bike frame should i pick for the new mountain bike that i am going to get?
I am going to buy a new mountain bike and i need help on what size of bike frame that fits for me. I am 5 foot 6 and 125 pounds. I am looking at this supercycle bike because it is going for $109.99 because it is such a great price. It comes in bike frame sizes 16 inch and 20 inch. I just would like to know if the 20 inch is too small or perfect sized. Thanks
Get the 16 inch.
I am 5’6″ also, although I’m 140lb.
When I went to get my new mountain bike I figured bigger was better- and tested the 20inch although I was recommended a 16inch.
I was stretched out like superman to reach the handlebars, and even with the seat on the lowest possible mark I couldn’t touch the ground. Riding it I could just tell it was to big, it seemed harder to control and when I hit the brakes I felt like I was gunna fly off. Plus the fact when I slid off the saddle the bar hit my crotch. I felt really stupid riding it and the bike was just way to big.
So I ended up with the 16inch, and I love it, it fits perfectly and is much easier to handle, much lighter & easier to transport.
