Dan, 22, 5' 7", always been into MTB, but I think it's time for a bloody good one...
So i'm looking to build a new steed up for summer,
Thinking a hardtail, 140mm, 1x9, nothing overly light,
I currently ride BMX but I need something that I can put a few miles on,
without coming home crucified! 😀
I've looked at a few on CRC,
But unsure as to what size frame to get,
due to me being a buy and get used to it kind of guy :S
Oh yeah HELLO! 🙂
Errrm, are you in New Zealand?
hola, welcome to the mad house 😆
Errrm, are you in New Zealand?
My thoughts to.
Hi and welcome 😀 But never call it a steed, full-bouncer or any other of that magazine verbal diarrhea. It's a bike, bicycle, or dandyhorse,

Do you like octopi?
eh up buddy, probable need a small or a medium depending on torso length. Probably top end of a small.
Try to find a small Ragley Mmmbop and stick some pikes or revs on it. Dead light frame and very good fun.
BTW call it what the **** you want
G'day. As a BMXer you should consider a rigid single speed mtb. No point in wasting all that conditioning. 🙂
Is this speed dating?
DMR trailstar, or whatever the equivilent is now. Or a 456?
Welcome! got a bike like that myself. Pha5e. I love it and call it my steed. 😉
In ye olde west yorshire,
Now 'dandyhorse' that's brilliant! 😀
Had a look at the piglet x7, looks great for the money, but i'm liking the butchness of the mmmbop, i've seen some inspiring builds on 'myragley'
And a singlespeed rigid would sound ideal, but there is some major hills near me...

Hills are what makes singlespeeds fun. Flat stuff is boring. Give it a few weeks, you can always waste money on gears later.
Or looking at it another way, the money you save by not buying gears and suspension means you can buy a much better frame and wheels and your bike won't be worn out after a years hard use.
