Hey guys, I'm Nathan! New to the forums, and new to MTB really. I have a bike of course, but only really use it to get to and fro.. although I have made it a little better than when it came out the factory.
The reason I joined is because my housemate has a Scott Ransom and we went out to do a mini trail, and I took some photos, which I'll put up in a bit.. I think I've got the bug now :twisted:
I'm 6'5, 15 stone, and have no idea what kinda size bike I should be looking at, for doing some DH stuff. To start with I'm going to be on a tight budget too..
Cheers, Nathan

well, I would prefer to build the bike, so I will be buying parts here and there.. in the respect the budget will be tight, as I won't be lashing out £800 on a frame if you get my drift? If not, I apologise, I'm writing my Masters dissertation and my head is flooded with analytical techniquesClaude Butler Trail Ridge

Frame sizes differ between manufacturers, even between models from the same manufacturer.
Probably largish.
Suggest you look at a few you like and go sit on them.I don't do smileys.
