Ok I am 6'1" ish and I have ridden 2 trials bikes.

One is a zoo pitbull 2005 with echo parts and eno front freewheel setup like the complete webcyclery would sell.

The other is a echo team mod bike it had hs33s and its all setup.

The 2 bikes have one thing in common that i hate about both of them. There is no way you could jump a box jump at a skatepark with either one of these bikes they feel soo goofy. I think its because of the BB height but i'm not sure.

Anyways I want a more streety kind of bike i guess like one you could ride at a skatepark and jump hips with or fast stair gaps but also be able to do all the trials stuff as well. I only ride urban... no natural ever.
I would rather have a "stock" 26 inch bike so tell me what i need, would a norco evolve be any good? because ive seen them for only like 750 new and complete. Also if someone has a bike that might fit my criteria send me a PM thanks.:dunno:

Look at the norco, (moment i believe (what Leech rides)) and also look into the Planet X, i have a zebdi and a jack flash, both are great for street and trials

well noe thing i will say is if you have never ridden a trials bike before is that they all will feel fucked up when you ride them. trials bikes bikes are things that you have to get use to and until then you will not be able to see why they are biult like that. after a while you will be use to the bike and then you will start to under stand why they are like the way they are

How much are you looking to spend? Do you want a complete bike or are you going to build it up? Look at www.webcyclery.com in the sale stuff. They have a nice Planet X frame for cheap.
