I'm sure you guys here the same crap all the time but I'm a newbie looking for a bike. I'm 5,10 and 190lbs and I'm looking for a good trials bike. I've looked at webcyclery.com and found they have a few complete bikes. They say the Czar is the strongest,second comes the Zoo, and then the echo. Which ones for me. All I really know about trials bikes is you want a low 70deg head angle and short stays. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks

There's tons of threads on this, but it's suggested don't go high BB for a first bike unless you've tried it first. Just search you'll find ton's of answers. BTW the Czar, Zoo, and several Echos are high BB bikes.

There are some low bb Echo's too, like the Control or the new Pure. High bb bikes are just something different. Each geometry teaches you something different, because it forces you to adapt and change your style a bit.
However, for someone new to the game, I'd recommend starting on a Pure, Control, or something in that geometry group.
