I have mostly rode mountain bikes for the past 20 years and now I am finding a desire to do tricks again. I recently purchased a used 2018 fit Hango. I can't believe how much I can not do anymore. It has a 20.5 TT and I just feel awkward on it. I have admired those lineage haro bikes but I'm not sure I want to drop $1300. In case I find I am just to old. I found a GT pro performers on sale for $518. I am interested in doing mostly flatland and some park riding. I am 6'2" and 230 lbs. Does anyone have a good suggestion for me??
Thanks in advance.
I'm in a similar boat, 6'4" 250+... I now live in a rural area, closest Bike Shop is 45 mins away and has about 25 Bikes, either mountain or road racing. No BMX in stock. I'm sure they can order anything, but I want to see it, sit on it and maybe ride it.
The bigger bikes feel awkward, too big and slugish for me to do tricks on....
