[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1299711, member: 68872"] -1 ! I disagree. The frame/wheel size of an 85 is too small for a full size rider. At 5'8" you are not exactly short and at 16 years old you may still grow. Having the center of gravity that high above a short wheel base is just asking for a short flight over the handlbars. Yeah, there are a lot of guys messing around on bikes that are too small for them but I sure wouldn't recommend it for a "play bike". A "pit bike" maybe but not for something that you would take out on a trail. I am also surprised that the 85s are cheap in your area. My experience has been that the 50 to 85 bikes have held their value really well because they are bought for kids that outgrow them fairly quickly. I would think that something like a YZ-125 would be perfect for you. Rod [/QUOTE]
