Haven’t owned a BMX for many many years, last one was a Haro Shredder and Blammo but my fave was my piston bully, I never really paid much attention to size but know I see that for a 6ft + rider you need 22inch frame.
My son is joining a club and I’m guna tag along, so I need to get hold of one something retro would be great – iv been looking all over eBay but nobody really puts down size so I’m not sure if its something I need to worry about?

Buy the right size. I bought one off ebay without checking, it was too small at 19.5″ and became uncomfortable to ride for long.

I’m 6’2″ and ride a 22″ wheeled S&M ATF. I have a 24″ wheeled rehab BMX for sale if you want it. I rode it for a year due to back problems, was perfect

Thanks both, caspian how much are you after?

Not much, it was only £400 new. I’m between Winchester and Petersfield. Where are you?

Shrewsbury, miles! 🙂

I could however make a day of it (in the new year) and go biking that way, let me know what price your after?

my mate mark atkins is well over 6ft tall and rides a 21 inch top tube

Yeah and Mark Atkins knows a thing or two about BMX! I’m 6’1 and ride a 21″, my mate’s 6’2 and rides a 21″ – I wouldn’t get too carried away looking for a 22″ top tube unless you’re like 6’8 or something
