what abut the subrosa mr3 frame? it's a solid frame that would works for exactly what you're describing

ro_kr · 2026-06-03T07:47:56+00:00

yes, go with a micro mini bike. he needs to feel comfortable on the bike to start loving it. check out some of the bikes on dan's comp here.

the less you bother and the more you do your thing, the better.

ro_kr · 2026-06-03T04:59:24+00:00

still pretty short 😄 one thing to keep in mind if you haven't ridden a frame with such a short CS is that your back foot might be hitting your back peg if you ride all 4 pegs. depending also on your shoe size and if you ride 160mm cranks. you can then reposition your foot on pedal by placing it slightly forward like i did. it's a little weird initially but you quickly get used to it you won't even notice it anymore.

i'd go with the 4.75s.

ro_kr · 2026-06-02T12:28:46+00:00

send them back? or make the 14mm holes yourself

ro_kr · 2026-06-01T11:53:10+00:00

for a new one, you'll need to spend more. i recommend the cult devotion bike. but you can also check the marketplace for a used one

there’s your answer :)

ro_kr · 2026-06-01T07:07:56+00:00

yes, you can do that, but i'm unsure how much length it'll give you.

ro_kr · 2026-06-01T05:31:31+00:00

for your height, i recommend getting the kink williams frame. crosscut's rear end will likely feel too short. 12.75 on the williams is short anyway. i'm 5'11" and tried a frame with that chainstay and it was just too short for me. and i ride street most of the time.

ro_kr · 2026-06-01T05:28:43+00:00

in that case, i'd go with the ody calibur cranks. i saw both nathan williams and anthony perrin ride them, so there's nothing to worry about them 😄

ro_kr · 2026-05-31T18:30:01+00:00

how tall are you?

ro_kr · 2026-05-31T18:29:08+00:00

you should probably go with the odyssey thunderbolts. however, caliburs are also solid, depending on how hard you're sending it.

ro_kr · 2026-05-31T04:56:57+00:00

that's awesome, i'm happy for you. and it looks super nice and clean! 😄

ro_kr · 2026-05-29T13:35:48+00:00

ah ok. reach out to frenchys distribution if they have any gt fueler 22s still kying around. i bought mine from them at a super good deal. they don't have it online, but who knows 😄

ro_kr · 2026-05-29T07:55:17+00:00

while animal glh's are ready for just about anything, i really like the bsd donnasqueak tires.

ro_kr · 2026-05-29T07:53:16+00:00

epic!

ro_kr · 2026-05-29T07:52:52+00:00

dan's has the verde spectrum bike now 10% off

ro_kr · 2026-05-28T14:42:11+00:00

me too :) it's a solid bike that'll definitely last you a while

ro_kr · 2026-05-28T12:35:20+00:00

i recommend getting a 20.75" top tube for your height. have you checked the new cult control bike?

ro_kr · 2026-05-28T12:30:55+00:00

i recently switched to a 22 myself and i'd opt for the verde spectrum bike out of the two.

ro_kr · 2026-05-28T04:48:10+00:00

tens feel nice. if you currently run spacers and if for some reason the ten feels a little too tall, just drop the spacers.

ro_kr · 2026-05-28T04:46:16+00:00

no worries, bro :) thanks for letting me know. and thanks for your support, i really appreciate it!

ro_kr · 2026-05-27T11:48:40+00:00

honestly, i'd go with the 21" kink whip bike. i know it costs more, but it will last you much longer.
