    Which size bike

    Hello,

    I am an absolute beginner to this. I am just over 6' tall and overweight (My main reason for getting into this).
    Being a big guy, I find that both the 18" and 19.5 or 20" frames seem to fit. (I have not ridden in a long time to what will be the most comfortable).

    What are others riding that are my size?

    I am hoping to get into trail and off road riding. I will likely do a fair amount of road riding with the family...

    Thanks in advance!

    Marxxx

    I would recommend stopping in at a LBS (Local Bike Shop) and ride a few bikes in the sizes you mentioned. Comfort level is REALLY important when selecting a bike and each manufacturer is a little different so try a bunch of different ones!

    Good luck!!!
