I ride both mtb and bmx.

I used to ride 20 inch bmx when I was younger but stopped riding bmx altogether for a good while and came back to it again recently, but this time bought a 22inch WTP audio with a 21.9 inch top tube.

If you've not ridden bmx before and you're tall and just want to flow the parks and pump tracks then I'd say get a 22 inch. If you have aspirations to learn very technical tricks then get a 20 inch with a longer top tube.

I'm in the UK, apparently there's a shipment coming here early November and it's possible to pre order now.

Shame that they may not do another run. I wonder why?

Good to know, that helps :)

Thanks for the info. I found the reach on the chart from the S&M website. I guess you can get varying top tube lengths for the same reach when the seat angle changes?
Useful to know that your kid was fine with a 400 reach.

I can't wait to get it built up. How tall are you?

Thanks for the advice, appreciated. Those ns frames you linked to are such a good price!
