First, sorry about the cross post if you check the BMX forum.
Second, I know this isn't the appropriate forum, but nobody checks the BMX forum.
That said... I am 25, looking to get into BMX, and am 6'1", 180-195 lbs. depending on the season. I'm aware that this is going to result in fairly constant pain, but think it might be worth a shot. To minimize the crossover time, I thought I bike that even approaches the feeling of my Stiffee SL slalom frame might be a start. The MacNeil Deuce Deuce has been recommended to me, but I was wondering if any other mountain bikers out there that have crossed into the 20" world have time on one of these. Does if feel TOO big? Are there other long-top-tube options for BMX out there? Is MacNeil a reputable company in the BMX world? Are there other angles/lengths that I should be worrying about with a BMX for fit?
Let me know if you have some input. Thanks!
