stock bike length??

[yobiker]

Im just starting out and thinking about purchasing a complete stock trials bike. I am about 5.9ft. What length would best fit me on a stock bike??

I was looking at the Meta 26" VTT complete bike and it says that from rear dropout to front dropout is 1094mm. does this size sound like it would work for me?

yea

If you have a choice I'd probably recommend a 1080mm wheelbase. Based on your height and that you are just starting out, it should make controlling the bike easier. But if you got a good deal on the Meta then go for that. The most important thing in trials is practice.

Check out the 1070 Echo Control, with the short chain stays the front end feels plenty long without being to much wheel base. I'm guessing anything over 1080 is to long. I am 5-11 and ride a 1075.

I'm 5'8" and ride a 1065 (because of my short fork, I think its supposed to be 1070) I get to try my bud's 1080+ and I do a lot better. I don't put as much effort on doing the same stuff.

I will soon get a long frame to replace what I have now, maybe a 1095.
