camplin Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 i was thinking of a 20" and i was going to upgrade the brakes an single speed after xmasthanks for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarriLye Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 a 20" bike is more twitchy...but for some reason i find a 26" easier..mainly because you are higher so its easier to get up stuff...this is what i found so this may not be the same for you but...if your looking for bike www.tartybike.co.uk is one of the most used websites...but try looking on ebay because they have some very good bikes for sales for small priceshelp this helpsmany thanksharri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
