At the top, I'd be trying to figure out how to base jump with a bike. I hate riding downhill.

I envy the upright posture little people can achieve on a trials bike.

You can start with a set of high rise bars. If that's not enough a set of bar spacers. Move the footpegs back and down.Kyler wrote:without a welder, a bike built for someone 5'9" can't be stretched for someone 6'4"anotherguy wrote:Set up.

Or park yer big ass on the couch and turn on the idiot box.

so, it started with me expressing envy. Obviously you have felt that too given the above.anotherguy wrote:I used to road race a Honda RS125. Don't tell me about big rider small bike. If ya really wanna ride you'll get it done.

I don't need your research. I've already spent enough of my time and others to do the best I can with what is available. I've done nearly everything I can short of making a new frame or having surgery. I have 2" risers on my Montesa. I have installed taller bars too. I can't move the left footpeg because that is where the sidecar mounts. But that isn't the point.
THE POINT IS ... I'm still envious of the upright posture little people can achieve on a trials bike.
Okay?

Re: A little trail riding on yer trials bike.
Cool video. I love gnarly trails and I don't like going very fast. So trials riding is really right up my alley. Though I'm super lazy when it comes to standing. I'm more of a stand when I have to kind of rider, rather than stand all the time.
I need some sort of a Trails/Trials/Enduro bike. But I guess my old 300 will just have to do for a while more.

My back can't take the pounding of much sitting. I can stand all day and zero back issues.
The trials bike will work your legs over more than your back if riding proper.
Need to get you back to the farm and work on that lack of standing problem.
