jump bike

hi all,

i'm not too sure where to put this really, but would a 15" frame be too small for a jump bike if i usually ride a 17.5"/18" frame?

i'm not too sure if there's a rule of thumb to go by or just feel?

sounds fine. most jump bikes are around 14"

welshkev

yeah i thought that they were small, i think i'll get it :-)

what frame is it.

most jump bikes only come in one size, and that's around 14"/15"

it's not a jump specific frame, it's a spesh hardrock in 15". i know it's not meant for jumps but i jump like a girl anyway and thought it'd be good to learn on and it's cheap!!

i jump like a girl

What does that mean? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Rachel Atherton's not to bad on the jumps

Top tube length is what you should be looking at rather than seat tube length.
