I'm about 6', the only Con I see in that frame is that the seatpost is
22.2, they tend to bend if you land the wrong way, but, It should be
allright for you, and the tube is a little small for me. I'd like the
frame to be 340mm instead of 300,

thats sweet! thats the one i want. since im short, it says they can
cut the tube down, and since im light, sure i wont have bending issues.
i want to do trials, but not huge drops. i want to do tricks too, so
that works. how do u know what crank size to get?

Cranks are preference. in Trials, you dont want anithing under 125's or
Over 150mm. I have 137's ( Kris Holm Moments) but Now, I'd prefer using
125's because I suck at trials .

That's still not a uni I would buy, and certainly not for trials.




I think you are right . Now that I look at it more closely, it doesn't
have a 19 " trials tire.

I think I was thrown off by the fact that UDC USA has no Nimbus listed
under trials right now. Out of stock ?, so I assumed you were referring
to the Nimbus 2 ISIS, but I was wrong.
