    Looks high, what size is it, 21"?
    Tall man probably.

    But I would change those pedals as soon as possible, because they are rubbish, small
    platform for the feet and not enough grip. I can't belive that I've been riding those for 9
    months, and thanks for the crash when I broke one I bought better flats and my feet are
    no more dancing all over the place.

    Btw, you have a good bike for a starter. :)

    Have just started back on a bike and always looking for good local places to ride.

    Well my are some VP pedals, cheap at £7, just £2 more than the original but hell of a lot
    of difference. Look at some with a platform like these, mine have the same exept I don't
    have a replaceable pins.
