Fixed Pants™ Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 There is no specific height for either. Just if you're over 6.5 you'll look a tit on a mod and get accused of stealing a lil girls bike... Same with stock, if you're the height of a dustbin you'll look a tit on a stock.

ManxTrialSpaz Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Get what you want. I'm 6'1" and ride a T-Pro (which isn't a long bike--1020wb?) and I don't feel like my height is hindering my riding at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Im 6'3 and ride a monty (soon to be t-pro) mod so there is basically no limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 cheers guys.. i was just a little put of because i thought i was sort of being acused of being to tall to ride a mod ( sort of). but i think part of that acusation is because i ride a mission prodigy and it is super super short so i would do better with a long frame ( e.g. Echo team). anyways. thanks all makes me fell a little better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
